Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

ethanol fireplaces (see here now) are excellent to add a warm feel to any room without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire, and follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should perform safely.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't release dangerous smoke which means you don't need to be concerned about the accumulation of soot 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, available at PS569 - or an independent model that can 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 wall or ceiling is strong and follow the directions of the model you select.

If you opt for an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or placed in the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

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

It's important to remember that when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the money or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They are great for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. They don't produce soot or ash, which means there's no maintenance issues.

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 look modern fireplace and sleek. Whatever the design the electric fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable heat settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people with respiratory conditions.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install in your home. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you select, most can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to relocate, which makes it a great choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many consumers and it's something that should not be ignored when shopping for a new fireplace.

No flu

The main benefit of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don't require a chimney to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particulates that can damage the air, which is good news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fire doesn't produce smoke, so it does not create a bad smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat to the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for any valuables.

There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding electric fireplace. You can choose a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get one that is recessed to blend into the style of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is a second option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to extinguish the flames, and make sure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any leftover fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

When the fuel is burned, it creates some soot, which 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 properly fueled and making sure it is kept away from any flammable items or equipment.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible in designing your home, and the location you wish to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to the flame and heat to be directed towards the desired location of the room. You can even mount an electronic remote control on certain designs to have full control from the couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it while being able to turn the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
