Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can provide warmth to any space without the need for expensive construction work or gas supply. They are the safest fire type available.
As long as you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to the safety instructions, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.
Easy installation
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who wish to make their living spaces more attractive or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't need a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
Installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a professional. It is all you have to do is sure that the ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions for the model you select.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to mount them either like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to install the brackets, extensions and find the studs.
You can also pick between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners operate similar to fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a dramatic feature in their home but don't have the money or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there are no maintenance issues to worry about, either.
Styles and designs
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. No matter what style they all offer the same benefits: genuine flames with no fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself originates from a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames are set, it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places have heating settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to give you more warmth than simply ambience.
Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older ones that don't have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not generate ash or harmful gases that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install in your home. The exact installation time will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can choose an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you if ever you decide to move. This is an ideal option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many people and is something that should not be ignored when choosing a new fireplace.
No Flu
The biggest advantage of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney to function. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires that can result from the build-up of tar, or a blockage in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particles, which could affect the air. This is great for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire doesn't produce smoke, so it won't cause bad odor in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about it getting caught on fire and causing danger.
There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit or opt for a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.
Another thing to consider is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it's important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start again.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to safely remove the flames and ensure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from the reach of children and pets.
Easy maintenance
The Bioethanol Fire fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.
The soot created from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a an easy, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring that it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and also where you would like to 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 installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees to move the flame and heat into the desired area of your room. You can also mount a remote control onto certain designs to have full control from the comfortable sofa.
Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you'd like is possible however, you can still use the remote control to turn it off and adjust the flame's height as well as set the temperature.
When you are not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable substances or supplies. Also, don't pour additional fuel inside the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
