Bio Ethanol Fireplace Tips From The Best In The Business
Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any room without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire and you follow all safety instructions the fireplace will be operating in a safe manner.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fires are a quick and easy option for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. They don’t require a flue and don’t create dangerous smoke and you don’t have to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite – like 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 requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions of the model you select.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to mount them either like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.
You can also pick between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, which means it will burn longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, but you’ll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it’s important to keep in mind that the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.
The ethanol fire is a great option for those looking for an impressive feature to add to their home, but don’t have the money or time to install wood or gas 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, which means there’s no maintenance issues.
Designs and styles
There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire itself originates from the burner pan, which is situated at the bottom of the white Fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.
Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable temperature settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don’t require any chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install inside your home. The time required to install will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can even choose a freestanding portable fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to relocate, making it an ideal choice for a temporary home. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.
No flu
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn’t produce many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there isn’t any smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn’t produce an unpleasant smell in the room.
Bio ethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for your valuables.
There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model or opt for an recessed model that will blend into the style of your room.
Another thing to consider is whether you’d prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. If you don’t, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.
Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to safely extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns, it creates some soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it’s not in contact with flammable materials or objects.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install and you don’t need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and also where you would like to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your room. You can even mount a remote control onto some of the designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.
To maximize versatility, a lot of the ‘plug and play’ wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be capable of turning it off or on and adjust the flame’s height, and set the temperature with the remote control.
When you’re not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don’t try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it’s cooled to room temperature. Always be cautious when handling the burner as it is very hot.
