Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the need for expensive structural work or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for the fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines the fireplace will operate safely.
Easy installation
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not 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.
Installation is simple and doesn’t require any specialist help. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the specific model.
If you decide to install a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace insert they are usually equipped with the fittings that allow them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or placed in the wall. You’ll need to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for a professional to do so.
You can also pick between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning devices. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners operate exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you’ll require matches or lighters 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 material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic choice for those who want an eye-catching feature to enhance their home but do not have the time or money to set up a gas or wood fireplace. They’re a perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don’t produce soot or ash, so there’s no need for maintenance.
Styles and designs
There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of style and ambiance free of harmful fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire is created by a burner pan located at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the flames have been established then it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even offer heat settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is useful if you want to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for homes that are new or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. The time required to install will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can opt for a portable freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you in the event that you relocate. This is a great choice for temporary living arrangements. It is important to consider the installation ease when buying a fireplace electric.
No flue
The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don’t require a chimney for operation. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don’t create many particles, which could harm the air. This is great for people with allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there’s no smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn’t cause an unpleasant smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don’t lose heat up the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. 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.
There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed unit which will blend in with the design of your room.
Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.
It is essential to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don’t, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.
Maintenance is easy
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
As the fuel burns it creates tiny amounts of soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner properly fueled and making sure it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.
Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame into the desired part of the room. You can also mount a remote control onto some designs to have full control from the couch.
For maximum versatility, many of the ‘plug and play’ wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that let you connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be in a position to turn it on or off and adjust the flame’s height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
If you’re not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects 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 careful when handling it since it is very hot.
