How Bio Ethanol Fireplace Changed My Life For The Better

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire, and follow all safety instructions the fireplace will be operating in a safe manner.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners looking to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't produce dangerous smoke, so you don't have to worry about the build up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 or a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and requires no specialist help. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the directions for the model you pick.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the fittings that allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or installed into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.

There is also the option of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, but you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage 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 funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They're a perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.

Designs and styles

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be modern and sleek. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without gas 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 anchored to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Some ethanol fireplaces even have adjustable heat settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which can be useful if you want it to create more warmth rather than just ambiance.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash that can be dangerous for people with respiratory conditions.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. Although the exact time for installation will depend on the model you choose, most can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace that you can carry with you if you ever relocate, making it a good choice for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key aspect for many buyers, and it is something to consider when shopping for the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The big advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particulates, which can harm the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, so it won't cause bad odor in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.

There are many designs to choose from for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select a wall-mounted model for modern, sleek design or a recessed model that blends into the style of your home.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

It is important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start over.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have here enough time to safely put out the flames and ensure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from pets and children.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. 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 changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced by the burning of fuel is easily removed using a a soft, clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring it's a safe distance away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can put them virtually anywhere without having to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and certain models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you direct the flame and heat towards the desired location of the room. You can even put remote controls on certain designs to have full control from the couch.

Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or sloping one. 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 are not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is turned off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or supplies. Also, don't pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
