Speak "Yes" To These 5 Bio Ethanol Fireplace Tips

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring warmth to any space, without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.

If you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners who wish to make their living spaces more attractive or create a focal point for their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they don't produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for the complete fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 - or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and doesn't require any expert assistance. It is all you have to do is sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you pick.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the equipment needed to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to install the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

You can also choose of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner works similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.

It's important to remember when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great option for those looking for a dramatic feature to add to their home, but don't have the time or money to install an electric fireplace or gas fireplace. They're the perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not produce soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of design and ambiance without toxic fumes or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding fireplace or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the flames have been established then it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable heat settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is useful if you want to provide more warmth than just ambiance.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for homes that are new or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not generate gas or ash that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install within your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can even choose an open-air fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to relocate, which makes it an ideal option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.

No flue

The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. In the end, there is no risk of chimney fires which could result from the build-up of tar, or a blockage in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particles, which could harm the air. This is beneficial for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke that is produced by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted model or choose one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames completely go out and wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start again.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you time to safely eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of children and pets.

Ease of maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces function 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 controlled by the slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it releases tiny amounts of soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it is kept away from any flammable materials or objects.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you great flexibility in the design of your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your living space. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be capable of turning it off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using the ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be careful when handling it because it is extremely hot.
