Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol
cheap Fireplaces are excellent to add a warm feel to any room without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your
fireplace suites and you adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace should operate safely.
Installation is easy
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. There is no need for chimneys and they won't produce dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.
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 is able to 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 ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.
Most 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 will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to install the brackets, extensions and find the studs.
You also have a choice of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so that it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. A manual burner works exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to light the flames.
It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the money or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They're the perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They also do not generate soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance, either.
Styles and designs
There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of design that is a genuine flame atmosphere without harmful gasses or smoke.
Ethanol
electric fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit with a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.
Some ethanol fire places provide heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional
wooden fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not produce any gas or ash that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The time required to install will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you when you relocate. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is a crucial aspect for many buyers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No flu
The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particulates that can damage the air, which is good news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire doesn't produce smoke, therefore it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This lets you place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about it burning, which could be dangerous.
There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted unit or choose one that is recessed to fit in with the style of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is another aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.
After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start again.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you time to safely eliminate the flames and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of pets and children.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled by the slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.
When the fuel is burned, it produces some soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the burner topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.
Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and also where you would like to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that is portable.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol
fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat to the desired location of your home. You can even mount remote controls on some of the designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be capable of turning it on or off and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.
If you're not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is turned off and is away from any flammable substances or equipment. Also, don't add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
