The Little-Known Benefits Of Bio Ethanol Fireplace
Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room without the need for costly structural work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.
If you use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fire and follow the safety instructions the fireplace will be very safe to operate.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or to add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with an entire fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the guidelines for your specific model.
If you opt for an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be either hung as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions, but it will not take more than one hour for an expert to do this.
You can also pick between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. A manual burner operates in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to enhance their home but don't have the time or money to install a gas or wood fireplace. They're an excellent choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.
Designs and styles
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be modern and sleek. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of the style that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself originates from the burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even offer heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate gas or ash, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install in your home. While the exact installation time is dependent on the model you choose the majority are installed in a short time. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a move, making it a good choice for a temporary home. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.
No Flu
The big advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood electric fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.
A bio-ethanol tabletop fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particulates that can damage the air, which is a great thing for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there isn't any smoke generated by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without having to worry about it burning and causing danger.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs to choose from. You can select an installation on the wall fireplace for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is another thing to think about. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.
When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and to wait until the fire is cool before refilling. Otherwise the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to remove the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from happening.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs include this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it produces a small amount of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping down 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 to ensure it's not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.
Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can set them virtually anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility in the design of your home and also where you can experience the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing fireplace that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your home. You can even put a remote control onto some designs to have full control from the comfort of your sofa.
Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or an inclined one. The electric fireplace can be installed wherever you like is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn off the fireplace and adjust the flame's height as well as set temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is turned off and a safe distance away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be careful when handling it since it is very hot.
