It s Time To Expand Your Bio Ethanol Fireplace Options
Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room without the expense of structural work or gas supply. They are the safest kind of electric fire available.
As long as you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick solution for homeowners who want to revamp their living space or add a focal piece to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't produce dangerous smoke, so you don't have to worry about the build up of soot on your ceilings or walls.
It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - such as 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 doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall fireplace is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.
If you choose a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the necessary hardware to allow them to be hung as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. It takes an experienced professional around an hour to install the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
You can also pick between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner works exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite 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 touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home but don't have the funds or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. They're a perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce ash or soot, so there's no need for maintenance.
Styles and designs
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance and others have a sleek and modern design. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of the style that is a genuine flame atmosphere free of harmful gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire is created by a burner pan located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the flames are established, it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. A bio-ethanol fire does not emit harmful gasses or ash, which can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces wood into your home is also simple. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you select the majority can be installed fairly quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace which can be carried with you when you relocate. This is a great choice for temporary living arrangements. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.
No flu
The big advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires that could result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particulates that can damage the air, which is a great thing for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there isn't any smoke generated by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.
Bio ethanol electric fireplaces produce lots of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This lets you place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.
There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model or choose a recessed version that will blend in with the design of your space.
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 from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
When you're done using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start all over again.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to properly put out the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of children and pets.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and 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 to ensure that the fireplace is properly fueled and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable objects or other equipment.
Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without worrying about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you great flexibility in designing your home, and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees to move the flame and heat to the desired space of your living space. You can even mount a remote control onto certain designs to have full control from the comfort of your sofa.
To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it while being in a position to turn it on or off and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.
When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it is very hot.
