The Often Unknown Benefits Of Bio Ethanol Fireplace

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring an inviting atmosphere to any space without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.

As long as you only use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be very safe to operate.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners who want to change the look of their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build up of soot 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 from PS569 - or a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and requires no specialist help. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the instructions of the model you pick.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to put in the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

There is also the option of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner operates similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great choice for those who want an impressive feature to bring to their home but do not have the time or money to set up an electric firesuite or gas fireplace. They are perfect for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance also.

Designs and styles

There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. 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: real flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself is created by the burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the 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 ignited, you can relax and enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places offer heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want to give you more warmth than simply ambience.

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate toxic gases or ash which could be harmful for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install inside your home. While the exact time to install is dependent on the model you select, most can be installed fairly quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace which can be transported with you if ever you move. This is an ideal option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is an important factor for many people and is something that should not be ignored when looking for a new fireplace stove.

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. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that can result from the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.

Bio-ethanol Stone fireplaces don't release many particulates, which can affect the air. This is great for people with allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there's no smoke generated by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate lots of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture near the flame without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for your valuables.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are options to pick from. You can opt for a sleek and modern look by installing it on the wall or choose a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.

Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer either a manual or automatic burner. 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.

It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to properly put out the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates an ember and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns it creates some soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose an open-air model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you 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 take full control from the comfort of your sofa.

A majority of bioethanol fire fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to utilize the remote control to shut it off, adjust flame height and adjust the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable substances or supplies. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it is very hot.
