8 Tips To Increase Your Bio Ethanol Fireplace Game
Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for bringing a cozy feel to any room without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.
If you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to the safety instructions, your fireplace should be safe to operate.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a fast and easy option for homeowners looking to change the look of their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't emit dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with a full fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and requires no specialist help. 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 fireplace-mounted include the equipment needed to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
You can also select between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so that it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work similarly to an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It's important to remember that 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 the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want a dramatic feature to add to their home but don't have the time or budget to build an electric fires or gas fireplace. They're the perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not produce soot or ash, there's no maintenance issues to worry about or worry about.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of design that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself originates from a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the flames are set and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places offer heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to provide more warmth than just ambience.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gasses or ash, which are dangerous to people with respiratory conditions.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy 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 which can be carried with you in the event that you relocate. This is a great choice for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers and is something to consider when looking for a new fireplace.
No Flu
The main benefit of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fireplaces fires is the fact that they don't require a chimney to function. In the end, there's no chance of chimney fires which could be caused by the build-up of tar, or an obstruction in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there isn't any smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching electric fire which could be dangerous for your valuables.
There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted unit or choose an recessed model that will blend into the style of your space.
Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.
When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it's important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to properly extinguish the flames, and make sure that all flammable substances are removed from the flame. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.
Maintenance is easy
The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled by the slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.
The soot produced by the fuel burning can be easily removed with an easy, clean cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the burner full of the correct fuel and ensure that it's kept away from dangerous materials or objects.
Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without worrying about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a lot of flexibility in the design of your home and also where you would like to sit and enjoy 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 bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your living space. You can even put a remote control onto certain designs to have full control from the comfort of your sofa.
Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be in a position to turn it on or off and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be careful when handling it as it is extremely hot.
