Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring warmth to any space without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire you can find.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fireplace and you adhere to all safety guidelines the fireplace will perform in a safe manner.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners who want to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they won't emit dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose the complete fire suite - for example, 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 easy and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the directions for the model you pick.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the necessary hardware to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however it should not take more than an hour for professionals to do it.
You can also choose of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. A manual burner works in the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there's no maintenance issues.
Styles and designs
There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some have a more traditional [wood fireplace](https://www.fireplacesandstove.com/)-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of design: a real flame ambience free of harmful gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.
Some ethanol fire places provide heating settings that can be altered. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace produces.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fire does not emit harmful gases or ash that can be harmful to those with respiratory conditions.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install in your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace that you can take with you if you ever relocate, which makes it a good choice for a temporary home. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers, and it is something that should not be ignored when choosing an upgrade to your fireplace.
No Flu
The biggest advantage of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they do not require a chimney in order to function. This means that there's no chance of chimney fires that could be caused by a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can affect the air. This is great for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there's no smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, so it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for any valuables.
There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model or choose a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your room.
Another thing to consider is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.
Most manufacturers suggest that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol away from children and pets.
Easy maintenance
The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled using a slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it produces tiny amounts of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or supplies.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and where you can experience the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your room. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.
For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that permit you to connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. Installing the fireplace wherever you want is possible, but you can still utilize the remote control to turn off the fireplace, adjust flame height and set the temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is off and is away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled to room temperature. Always be cautious when handling the burner as it is very hot.
