Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring warmth to any space, without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for the fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines then your fireplace will operate safely.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a quick and easy solution for homeowners who want to change the look of their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don’t produce dangerous smoke and you don’t have to worry about the build up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite – like Mano Mano’s Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 or a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the directions for the model you select.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You’ll need to find the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn’t take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
There is also the option of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames so that it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. A manual burner operates exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you’ll require matches or lighters to light the flames.
It’s important to remember when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent option for people who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don’t have the money or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They’re the perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don’t create soot or ash, so there’s no need for maintenance.
Styles and designs
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport modern and sleek designs. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of the style that is a genuine flame atmosphere free of harmful gases or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire is started by a burner pan that is located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy your home’s warm atmosphere.
Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable heat settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fire produces, which is useful if you want to give you more warmth than simply ambience.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or newer ones that don’t have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gasses or ash, which can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install in your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can choose an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you if ever you move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is important to consider the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.
No Flu
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don’t require a chimney for operation. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn’t produce many particles, which could cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire doesn’t produce smoke, which means it won’t cause unpleasant odor in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, a bio ethanol fire doesn’t lose heat up the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few options to pick from. You can choose a wall-mounted model for a sleek, modern look or a recessed model which will blend in with the design of your room.
Another thing to consider is whether you’d prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire once the tank is empty.
After you’ve used your bio-ethanol white fireplace, it’s important to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don’t, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.
Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to properly put out the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of children and pets.
Easy maintenance
The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
When the fuel is burned, it creates tiny amounts of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or equipment.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don’t need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you great flexibility when designing your home and the location you wish to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding fireplace that is portable.
wall fires-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your room. You can even put remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.
Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, however, you can still use the remote control to turn off the fireplace and adjust the flame’s height as well as adjust the temperature.
When you are not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable substances or equipment. Don’t try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Always be cautious when handling the burner as it will be very hot.
