Bio Ethanol wooden fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can provide warmth to any room without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire that is available.
As long as you only make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines your fireplace will be extremely safe to use.
Easy installation
Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don’t create dangerous smoke which means you don’t need to worry about the build up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite – like Mano Mano’s Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 – or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and doesn’t require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.
If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be either hung as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. You’ll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn’t take more than an hour for professionals to do it.
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 longer without the risk of overheating or running out. A manual burner operates in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you’ll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It’s important to remember when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner should 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 overheat and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home but don’t have the money or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They are great for renovations and new homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They don’t generate ash or soot, so there’s no maintenance issues.
Designs and styles
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to look sleek and modern. No matter what style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flames with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire itself originates from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy your home’s warm atmosphere.
Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heat settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don’t require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gasses or ash, which can be dangerous for people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also simple. The exact time to install them will depend on the model that you select. However, the majority of models can be installed quickly. You can opt for an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you in the event that you decide to move. This is an ideal option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many consumers and is something that should not be ignored when choosing a new fireplace.
No Flu
The main advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don’t require an exhaust pipe to run. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don’t create numerous particles that could affect the air. This is great for people suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there isn’t any smoke generated by the fire and, therefore, it doesn’t cause a bad smell in the room.
Bio ethanol fireplaces produce a large amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for any valuables.
There are a variety of designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit or choose a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
It is essential to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will evaporate and you’ll need to start again.
Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to properly remove the flames and ensure that all flammable substances are removed from the flame. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Maintenance ease
The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by an adjustable slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.
As the fuel burns it produces some soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it’s not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don’t have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol wooden fireplaces can be simple to install and some models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you the flame and heat to be directed towards the desired location of the room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or sloping one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it, and be able to turn the flame off or on and adjust the flame’s height, and set the temperature with the remote control.
If you’re not using your ethanol flame, make sure that it is shut off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or equipment. Also, don’t attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it’s cooled to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the burner as it is very hot.
