Ethanol fireplaces can provide a cozy feeling to any room without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.
If you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners looking 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. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.
If you decide to go with an entire 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 simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you choose.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to install the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
You can also choose of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners operate exactly like a fireplace, except that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an eye-catching feature to add to their home but don't have the time or money to install a gas or wood fireplace. They're the perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, which means there's no maintenance issues.
Styles and designs
There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be sleek and modern. Each model has the same benefits, regardless of style and ambiance without harmful gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or
Bioethanol Fireplace wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire is started by a burner pan that is located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames have been established, it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even provide heating settings that can be adjusted. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash that are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. Although the exact time for installation is dependent on the model you choose the majority can be installed relatively quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding
electric fireplace with mantel that can be taken with you in the event that you decide to move. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.
No flue
The main advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. As a result, there is no risk of chimney fires that can be caused by the accumulation of tar or obstructions in the flue.
A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there's no smoke generated by the fire which means it doesn't produce a bad smell in the room.
Bio ethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This lets you place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.
There are many designs to choose from for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed model which will blend in with the design of your space.
A manual or automatic burner is a different aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.
When you're done using your
bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start again.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from the reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
The soot that is produced by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with an easy clean cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.
Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without needing to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility in the design of your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and some models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. You can also mount remote controls on some models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. The fireplace can be installed wherever you want is possible, however, you can still use the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and set the temperature.
When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials.
