Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy solution for homeowners who want to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they won't emit dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
Whether you opt for a full
fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus
Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding 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 select.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however it shouldn't take more than an hour for a professional to do so.
You can also choose between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out. Manual burners operate exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner should be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an impressive feature to bring to their home, but don't have the money or time to build wood or gas fireplaces. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create ash or soot, so there's no maintenance issues.
Styles and designs
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport the traditional wood-burning appearance and others have
modern fireplace and sleek designs. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of the style: a real flame ambience without toxic gases or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is then lit with a long 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 ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even offer heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which is useful if you want to provide more warmth than just ambiance.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gases or ash, which can be harmful to those with respiratory conditions.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install inside your home. The exact time to install them will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can opt for a portable freestanding fireplace which can be taken with you if ever 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 it's something that should not be ignored when looking for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No flue
The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney to function. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires that could result from a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release numerous particles that could affect the air. This is beneficial for people with 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.
Bioethanol fireplaces generate lots of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This lets you keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about it catching on fire and causing danger.
If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs to choose from. You can select a wall-mounted model for modern, sleek design or a recessed unit which will blend in with the design of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.
It is essential to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.
As the fuel burns it creates a small amount of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.
Another advantage of bio ethanol
electric fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without having to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and where you can take pleasure in the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and some models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you the flame and heat to be directed to the desired area of the room. Some models come with a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.
A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or an inclined one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it and still be able to turn it off or on, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
When you are not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable materials or supplies. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it's cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
