Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the most secure kind of fire available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire and adhere to all safety guidelines the fireplace will be operating in a safe manner.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners looking to change the look of their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they don't produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.
Installation is simple and doesn't require any specialist help. All you need to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted include the hardware necessary to mount them like a flat screen TV 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, which means it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner operates similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials. 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 fires are a great option for people who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the budget or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're a perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.
Styles and designs
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of the style and ambiance free of harmful fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are established then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places offer heat settings that can be altered. This allows you to customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want to create more warmth rather than just ambience.
A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for those suffering from respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The time required to install will depend on the model that you select. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can even choose a portable fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to move, making it a good option for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers and is something that should not be ignored when choosing an upgrade to your fireplace.
No Flu
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don't require a chimney for operation. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires that can result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particles that could harm the air quality, which is great news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces produce a large amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture close 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 pick one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed model that blends into the design of your space.
Another thing to think about 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 your fire when the tank is empty.
It is important that you allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start again.
Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to eliminate the flames and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any spare ethanol fuel away from children and pets.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with the slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
The soot that is produced by the burning of fuel can be easily cleaned with a an easy clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or other equipment.
Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can put them virtually anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and also where you would like to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your room. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.
For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you can still utilize the remote control to turn it off, adjust flame height and adjust the temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable substances or equipment. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
