Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring warmth to any space, without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.
If you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety instructions the fireplace will be very safe to operate.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick solution for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't emit dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.
Whether you opt for an entire fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and requires no specialist help. It is all you have to do is sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the instructions of the model you choose.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to install the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.
You can also select between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to enhance their home, but don't have the time or budget to build an electric or gas fireplace. They're a perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.
Designs and styles
There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Each model offers the same advantages, regardless of style: a real flame ambience without toxic gases or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which is beneficial if you wish to create more warmth rather than just ambiance.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce gas or ash, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. While the exact installation time is dependent on the model you choose the majority are installed in a short time. You can also opt for a portable fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to relocate, making it a great option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when you purchase an electric fireplace.
No Flu
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce a bad smell in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for any valuables.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can go for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit or opt for one that is recessed to blend into the style of your space.
Another thing to consider is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. Otherwise, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to safely remove the flames, and make sure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left out of reach of children and pets.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by an adjustable slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns, it releases a small amount of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any flammable materials or objects.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility in the design of your home and where you can experience the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can also choose an open-air model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat to the desired space of your living space. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping fireplace manner. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be able to turn it off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.
When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the fire as it will be very hot.
