Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any space without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire and adhere to all safety rules then your fireplace will operate safely.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't release dangerous smoke and you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with a full fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and requires no specialist help. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.
If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be hung like a flat-screen TV or installed into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for a professional to do so.
You can also choose between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it will burn longer without running out or overheating. A manual burner operates exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It's important to remember that when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want a dramatic feature to bring to their home but don't have the time or money to build an electric or gas fireplace. They are perfect for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts were removed. And, because they don't produce soot or ash, there are no maintenance issues to worry about, either.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others sport a sleek and modern design. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of design that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic gases or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire is made through a burner pan, which is located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.
Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable heating settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than simply ambience.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or newer homes without chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you choose the majority can be installed fairly quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you in the event that you decide to move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.
No Flu
The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. As a result, there is no chance of chimney fires that can result from a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.
A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particulates that can damage the air quality, which is good news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke generated by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.
If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs to choose from. You can opt for modern and sleek design by installing it on the wall or choose a recessed version that will blend in with the design of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a second thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly out of the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.
It is crucial to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start again.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Maintenance ease
The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with the slider. (Not all models have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
The soot produced by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with an easy, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable objects or equipment.
Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and the location you wish to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your living space. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or sloping one. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be in a position to turn it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
When you're not using the ethanol fireplace, make sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the burner wall mounted electric fireplace since it is very hot.
