A Complete Guide To Bio Ethanol Fireplace Dos And Don ts

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the expense of structural work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines the fireplace will be safe to operate.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy option for homeowners who wish to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for an entire fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at 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 doesn't require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you pick.

If you choose a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the fittings that allow them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or placed in the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also choose of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners operate the same as marble fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite 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 touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace electric.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They're a perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they do not generate soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance also.

Designs and styles

There are many 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 modern and sleek. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: real flame ambience with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places provide heating settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace produces.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place doesn't produce gas or ash which could be harmful for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install in your home. The time required to install will depend on the model that you choose. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can opt for a portable freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you in the event that you decide to move. This is a great choice for temporary living arrangements. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing an electric fireplace.

No flue

The major advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. There is no risk of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air quality, which is good news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, which means it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bio ethanol fires don't lose heat through the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are options to pick from. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model or choose one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your room.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a second thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

It is essential to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will allow you time to safely remove the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol stone fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by an adjustable slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns it releases some soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring that it is kept away from any flammable items or equipment.

Bioethanol marble fireplaces are easy to install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in the design of your home and the location you wish to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and some models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to the flame and heat to be directed into the desired part of the room. Some models include a remote control that allows 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 permit you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. Installing the fireplace anywhere you want is possible, however, you can still make use of the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable materials or supplies. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until it has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it's extremely hot.
