Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire you can find.
As long as you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines your fireplace will be very safe to operate.
Installation is simple
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 need chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your walls or ceilings.
If you decide to go with 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 can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the directions for the model you have chosen.
If you choose 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 find the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
You can also choose between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work similar to a fireplace, except that you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires 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 build gas or wood
fireplaces. They are great for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts were removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there aren't any maintenance issues to worry about or worry about.
Designs and styles
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: real flames with no smoke or toxic gases.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.
Certain ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace produces.
A further benefit of ethanol
fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install in your home. Although the exact time for installation is dependent on the model you select however, the majority of them can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it an ideal option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.
No Flu
The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. This means that there's no chance of chimney
fires that can be caused by a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can affect the air. This is great for people suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire doesn't produce smoke, therefore it does not create a unpleasant odor in the room.
Unlike a
wood fireplaces-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose heat up the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for your valuables.
There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model, or you can get an recessed model that will fit in with the style of your room.
A manual or automatic burner is another option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.
It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any leftover fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Ease of maintenance
The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.
The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily removed with a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.
Another benefit of bioethanol
electric fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without having to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible in designing your home, and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to install and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. You can even put a remote control onto some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.
Many bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to turn off the fireplace, adjust flame height and set temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or supplies. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it is very hot.
