Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire, and adhere to all safety rules the fireplace will perform safely.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. There is no need for a chimney and they don’t create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
Installation is easy and doesn't require any assistance from a professional. All you need to do is ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the instructions for the model you have chosen.
If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted Most come with the necessary hardware to allow them to be hung like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for a professional to do so.
You can also choose between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner works in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.
It's important to remember when choosing a bio-ethanol 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, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. These are ideal for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They also do not generate soot or ash, there aren't any issues with maintenance, either.
Designs and styles
There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some are more traditional in their wood fireplace-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Regardless of the style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
The fire is started by a burner pan that is located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.
Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. Although the exact time for installation will depend on the model you select, most can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose an open-air fireplace that you can take with you when you decide to relocate, which makes it an ideal option for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key factor for many consumers and it's something that should not be ignored when shopping for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No flu
The main benefit of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don't require a chimney for operation. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is great news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there is no smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose much heat through the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for any valuables.
There are many designs to choose from for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model, or you can get an recessed model that will blend into the style of your room.
Another thing to think about 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 when the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start over.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to safely put out the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left out of reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be adjusted using a 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 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 ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility in the design of your home and where you can experience the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the heat and flame to the desired area of the room. You can even mount an electronic remote control on certain models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.
For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, but you can still make use of the remote control to turn it off and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.
If you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
