Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can give an inviting 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 you follow the safety guidelines the fireplace will be extremely safe to use.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or add a focal point to their home decor. They don’t require a flue and they don’t release dangerous smoke which means you don’t need to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
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 sturdy and adhere to the directions of the model you select.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You’ll need to find the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
You can also choose of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work similar to a fireplace, except that you’ll need matches or lighters to light the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it’s worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don’t cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to bring to their home, but don’t have the money or time to install a gas or wood fireplace. These are ideal for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don’t create soot or ash, which means there’s no maintenance issues.
Styles and designs
There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: real flames with no fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire is started through a burner pan, which is located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places have temperature settings that can be altered. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is useful if you want to provide more warmth than just ambience.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative 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 can be harmful to those with respiratory conditions.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install in your home. The time required to install will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you if you ever relocate, making it an ideal option to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key factor for many people, and it is something to consider when shopping for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No flue
The most significant benefit of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they don’t require a chimney in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn’t produce a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is great news for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fire doesn’t produce smoke, which means 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 to the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching fire, which could be dangerous for your valuables.
There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick a wall-mounted model for modern, sleek design or a recessed model that blends into the design of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a second thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
When you’ve finished using your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. If you don’t do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you’ll need to start from scratch.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and remove any flammable materials from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates an ember and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
The soot created by the fuel burning is easily removed using a an easy clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the fireplace is properly fueled and making sure it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don’t need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees to move the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. You can even mount an electronic remote control on some designs to have full control from the couch.
A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fire fireplaces are equipped with brackets to allow them to be affixed to a flat ceiling or sloping one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you like is possible, however, you can still make use of the remote control to turn it off, adjust flame height and adjust the temperature.
If you’re not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it as it is very hot.
