Ethanol fireplaces are excellent to add a warm feel to any room, without the need for expensive structural work or gas supply. They are the most secure kind of fire available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines the fireplace will operate safely.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick option for homeowners looking to make their living space more attractive or add a focal piece to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they won't emit dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 - or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. It is all you have to do is sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you choose.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.
You can also choose between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning devices. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or running out. A manual burner operates exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to light the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic option for those looking for an impressive feature to add to their home, but don't have the time or money to set up an electric or gas fireplace. They're the 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 number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport modern and sleek designs. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of style: a real flame ambience free of harmful fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire itself originates from a burner pan located on 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 the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash that can be harmful to those with respiratory conditions.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you choose, most can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you if you ever relocate, making it a good choice for a temporary home. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers and it's something that should not be overlooked when shopping for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No Flu
The main benefit of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is great news for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, so it does not create a bad odor in the room.As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose heat up the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for any valuables.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs to choose from. You can pick one that is wall-mounted for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed unit that blends into the style of your home.
A manual or automatic burner is a second thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automated one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames burn out completely and to wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. Otherwise, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start over.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol away from the reach of pets and children.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled using a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
The soot created from the combustion of fuel can be easily removed with the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or supplies.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose an open-air model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or an inclined one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn off the fireplace or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.
When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
