Comprehensive Guide To Bio Ethanol Fireplace

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring an inviting atmosphere to any space, without the need for expensive construction work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fireplace, and adhere to all safety guidelines the fireplace will operate safely.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or to add a focal point to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for 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 an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and requires no specialist help. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the directions of the model you pick.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or installed into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for an expert to do this.

You can also select between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners function similar to a fireplace, except that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the ethonal Fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great choice for those who want 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 option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They also do not produce soot or ash, there's no issues with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport modern and sleek designs. Regardless of the style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flame ambience with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable temperature settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.

Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not generate toxic gases or ash which could be harmful for those with respiratory issues.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install inside your home. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to move, making it an ideal choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.

No flu

The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney to function. In the end, there's no chance of chimney fires that could result from the accumulation of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, therefore it does not create a bad odor in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bio ethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture near the flame without having to worry about it burning, which could be dangerous.

There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model, or you can get a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your space.

Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start all over again.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left out of reach of pets and children.

Ease of maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

The soot that is produced by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a the help of a soft, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner full of the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without needing to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your 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 incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired location of your room. You can also mount a remote control onto some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be in a position to turn the flame off or on, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner as it is very hot.
