The Often Unknown Benefits Of Bio Ethanol Fireplace
Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the expense of structural work or gas supply. They are the safest fire type available.
As long as you only use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fireplace suites and adhere to the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be very safe to operate.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke which means you don't need to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus fireplace suite (Going in marketplace.lobservateur.com) in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the instructions of the model you choose.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the equipment needed to mount them either like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to install the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.
You can also choose between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning equipment. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work exactly like fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces 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 a wood or gas fireplace. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts were removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. Every type of fireplace offers the same advantages, regardless of the style and ambiance without toxic gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are anchored to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places have temperature settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat your fireplace produces.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any ash or harmful gases that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install within your home. Although the exact time for installation depends on the model you select, most can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to relocate, making it a great option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.
No Flu
The main benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.
A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is good news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there's no smoke generated by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces generate a large amount of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for your valuables.
There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for modern and sleek design by installing it on the wall or choose one that is recessed to fit in with the style of your room.
A manual or automatic burner is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start over.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol away from children and pets.
Easy maintenance
The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
As the fuel burns, it releases a small amount of soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is keeping the burner filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any flammable items or supplies.
Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere, without worrying about chimney regulations or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and where you want to enjoy the warmth of your marble fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your room. You can also mount remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.
A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or sloping one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it and still be capable of turning it off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
If you're not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable substances or supplies. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner as it will be very hot.
