Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.
As long as you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically designed for your fire and follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be safe to operate.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fires are a quick and easy option for homeowners who wish to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. You don't need a chimney and they don’t create dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.
Installation is easy and does not require any expert assistance. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you select.
If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be hung like a flat-screen TV, or placed in the wall. You'll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
You also have a choice of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners operate exactly like fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an impressive feature to bring to their home, but don't have the money or time to install a gas or wood fireplace. They are perfect for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. They also don't produce soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance also.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be sleek and modern. No matter what style, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flames with no fumes or harmful gases.
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 fixed to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire itself is created by a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit, you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even provide heat settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which is useful if you want it to create more warmth rather than just ambience.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-[ethanol fires](https://www.fireplacesandstove.com/) do not release harmful gases or ash that can be dangerous for people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install within your home. The exact time to install them will depend on the model that you select. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly. You can opt for an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you if ever you move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is important to consider the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.
No Flu
The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. As a result, there is no chance of chimney fires that can be caused by a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air quality, which is great news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fire doesn't produce smoke, so it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, which means it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for your valuables.
If you choose to install a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted unit or opt for a recessed version that will blend into the style of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a second thing to think about. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.
It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start all over again.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to extinguish the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Maintenance ease
The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled with the slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
The soot created from the combustion of fuel can be easily removed with the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.
Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can put them virtually anywhere without worrying about chimney regulations or building regulations. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to the flame and heat to be directed towards the desired location of the room. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow you to connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, however, you can still utilize the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and set the temperature.
When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Always be cautious when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
