The Often Unknown Benefits Of Bio Ethanol Fireplace
Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room, without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire and you follow all safety instructions then your fireplace will operate in a safe manner.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't require a chimney and they don’t emit dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.
Whether you opt for 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 an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the instructions for your specific model.
If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace Most come with the necessary hardware to allow them to be mounted like a flat-screen TV or recessed into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to install the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.
You can also pick between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners operate the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic option for those looking for a dramatic feature to bring to their home but do not have the time or budget to install an electric fire or gas fireplace. These are ideal for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts were removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Every type of fireplace suites offers the same advantages, regardless of the style: a real flame ambience without harmful fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire is created through a burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.
Some ethanol fire places even offer heating settings that can be adjusted. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The exact time to install them will depend on the model that you choose. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly. You can opt for a portable freestanding fireplace which can be carried with you if ever you decide to move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is a key factor for many consumers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when shopping for a new fireplace.
No Flu
The biggest advantage of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they don't require a chimney in order to function. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires which could result from the build-up of tar, or a blockage in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. 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 bio ethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about it burning and causing danger.
If you choose to install a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are different designs to choose from. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model or opt for a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.
Another thing to think about is whether you want a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.
After you've used your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start all over again.
Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from pets and children.
Maintenance ease
The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with the slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which fuel burns and how high the flame burns.
When the fuel is burned, it creates a small amount of soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the fireplace full of the correct fuel and to ensure it is kept away from any flammable materials or objects.
Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them virtually anywhere without needing to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even choose an open-air model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can move 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.
A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you'd like is possible but you can still utilize the remote control to shut it off or adjust the flame's height and set temperature.
When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Also, don't pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
