Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can give a cozy feeling to any space, without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.
As long as you only make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and follow the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be very safe to operate.
Easy installation
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.
Whether you opt for an entire 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 can 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 strong and follow the directions for the model you pick.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the equipment needed to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.
You also have a choice of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll need 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 do not cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the budget or time to install gas or [wood Fireplace](https://www.fireplacesandstoves.uk/) 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 maintenance issues.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern and sleek design. Every type of fireplace comes with the same advantages regardless of style: a real flame ambience without toxic gases or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
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 lit using a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are established and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even offer heating settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce toxic gases or ash, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also simple. The exact installation time will depend on the model you select. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also choose an open-air fireplace that you can take with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it a great choice for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key aspect for many buyers and it's something that should not be overlooked when choosing the perfect fireplace.
No flu
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney for operation. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release numerous particles that could harm the air. This is great for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there's no smoke that is produced by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.
Bio ethanol fireplaces produce a large amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This lets you keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about it catching on fire, which could be dangerous.
There are many designs to choose from for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different 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.
It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. Otherwise, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start again.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to remove the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left away from pets and children.
Easy maintenance
The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces a flame and heat that can be controlled by a slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
The soot produced by the fuel burning can be easily removed with a soft, clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any flammable objects or equipment.
Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that permit you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be capable of turning it on or off, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
If you're not using your ethanol flame, make sure that it is off and kept away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it as it is extremely hot.
