7 Things You ve Never Knew About Bio Ethanol Fireplace
Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace insert should perform safely.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. You don't require a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.
It doesn't matter if you choose the complete fire suite - for example, 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 does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you pick.
If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall Most come with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or placed in the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it shouldn't take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
You can also choose between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, however 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 material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace insert.
Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the money or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. They are great for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there's no maintenance issues to worry about or worry about.
Designs and styles
There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport modern and sleek design. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: real flames with no fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
The fire is started through a burner pan, which is located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is ignited using a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places offer heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces.
Another 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 breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory conditions.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. The time required to install will depend on the model you choose. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly. You can choose an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you when you decide to move. This is a great choice for temporary living arrangements. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing an electric fireplace.
No Flu
The main advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. As a result, there is no chance of chimney fires that can be caused by the accumulation of tar or an obstruction in the flue.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particles, which could affect the air. This is great for people with asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there is no smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose heat up the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for your valuables.
If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can go for modern fireplace and sleek design 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 a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it creates some soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the fireplace is properly fueled and ensuring that it is not too far from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.
Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can put them virtually anywhere without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a lot of flexibility in the design of your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to install and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat into the desired part of the room. You can even mount remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. Installing the fireplace anywhere you like is possible, however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to shut it off, adjust flame height and set the temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is off and kept away from any flammable materials or equipment. 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 as it is very hot.
