Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any space without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure
fireplace insert type that is available.
As long as you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines, your
fireplace insert should be very safe to operate.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners who wish to transform 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 which means you don't need to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.
Installation is easy and does not require any expert assistance. All you need to do is ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the instructions for the specific model.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted include the equipment needed to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for professionals to do it.
You can also choose between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. A manual burner works exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll require 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 materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home but don't have the money or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They are perfect for new construction and renovations in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.
Styles and designs
There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport the traditional wood-burning appearance, while others feature modern and sleek designs. Regardless of the style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. 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 from flammable substances.
The fire is created through a burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places provide temperature settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.
Another benefit of ethanol
electric fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. 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 can be harmful to those suffering from respiratory ailments.
Installing bio
ethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. Although the exact time for installation will depend on the model you select however, the majority of them are installed in a short time. You can also choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to move, making it a good choice for a temporary home. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.
No Flu
The main advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. This means that there's no chance of chimney fires that could result from the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can harm the air. This is beneficial for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there is no smoke generated by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.
Bio ethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about catching fire 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 a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model, or you can get an recessed model that will fit in with the style of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a second option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start all over again.
Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.
When the fuel is burned, it produces a small amount of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and making sure it is not too far from any flammable items or supplies.
Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without needing to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and certain models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame to the desired area of the room. You can even put remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.
To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. The fireplace can be installed wherever you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.
When you're not using the ethanol
electric fireplace, be sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until it has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is extremely hot.
