The Little Known Benefits Of Bio Ethanol Fireplace

Bio Ethanol electric fireplaces

Ethanol electric fireplaces are ideal to add a warm feel to any room, without the need for expensive structural work or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fireplace and you adhere to all safety rules then your fireplace will perform safely.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't produce dangerous smoke, so you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

If you decide to go with a full fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and requires no specialist help. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the instructions for the model you have chosen.

If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted they are usually equipped with the necessary hardware to allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or recessed into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also select between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out. Manual burners function exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to 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.

The Ethanol fire is a fantastic alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to add to their home but don't have the money or time to set up wood or gas fireplaces. They're the perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate ash or soot, so there's no need for maintenance.

Designs and styles

There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning electric fireplace look, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Each model offers the same advantages, regardless of the style: a real flame ambience free of harmful gases or smoke.

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 attached to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full potential for flame. Once the flames are set and the fire is ablaze, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Some ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash that are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install within your home. Although the exact time for installation is dependent on the model you choose the majority are installed in a short time. You can even choose a freestanding portable fireplace that you can take with you if you ever move, making it an ideal option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.

No Flu

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. This means that there is no risk of chimney fires which could be caused by a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air quality, which is good news for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, so it won't cause bad smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for your valuables.

There are several designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model or choose one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your space.

Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.

It is essential to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start all over again.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left away from children and pets.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a the help of a soft, clean cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without needing to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible in designing your home, and the location you wish to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install, and certain models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the flame and heat to the desired area of the room. You can even mount a remote control onto some designs to have full control from the comfort of your sofa.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you can still use the remote control to turn it off, adjust flame height and adjust the temperature.

When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until it has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it's extremely hot.
