Easy installation
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick solution for homeowners who want to revamp their living space or add a focal piece to their home decor. They don't require a flue and don't create dangerous smoke, so you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose 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 a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted include the equipment needed to mount them either like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions and find the studs.
You can also pick between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning equipment. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out. Manual burners operate similar to fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol 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 fireplaces are a great option for people who want to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They are great for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They also don't produce soot or ash, there are no maintenance issues to worry about or worry about.
Designs and styles
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Every type of fireplace comes with the same advantages regardless of style: a real flame ambience free of harmful gases or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They must also comply with certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
The fire is started by a burner pan located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.
Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to give you more warmth than just ambiance.
Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any gas or ash that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install within your home. Although the exact time for installation is dependent on the model you choose however, the majority of them are installed in a short time. You can also choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a move, making it an ideal option to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is an important factor for many people and it's something that should not be ignored when choosing an upgrade to your fireplace.
No flue
The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't create a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is great news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for your valuables.
There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model, or you can get a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.
A manual or automatic burner is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start again.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to extinguish the flames and ensure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work 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 with the slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
When the fuel is burned, it produces some soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. 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 ambiance of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing fireplace that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your home. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace wherever you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn it off, adjust flame height and set temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is turned off and is away from any flammable substances or equipment. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
