Easy installation
Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose the complete
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 is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the instructions for the specific model.
If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the fittings that allow them to be hung as a flat-screen television or recessed into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to put in the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
You also have a choice of manual or automated bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or running out. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to make sure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful alternative for those looking to have a dramatic feature to bring to their home but don't have the time or money to install a gas or wood fireplace. They are perfect for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They also don't produce soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance also.
Designs and styles
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: real flames with no smoke or toxic gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire is created by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.
Certain
fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable temperature settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want to provide more warmth than just ambience.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gasses or ash, which can be harmful to those who suffer from respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. Although the exact time for installation will depend on the model you choose however, the majority of them can be installed fairly quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace that you can take with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it a great choice for a temporary home. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.
No flue
The main advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. As a result, there is no risk of chimney fires that could be caused by a build-up of tar or obstructions in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is a great thing for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it does not create a bad smell in the room.
Bio ethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for any valuables.
There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding
marble fireplace. You can choose modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit or opt for one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a second thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
After you've used your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start again.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from happening.
Maintenance is easy
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns, it releases a small amount of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and also where you can experience the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing
fireplace suite that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, which allows you to the flame and heat to be directed towards the desired location of the room. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
A majority of 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 like is possible, however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Always be cautious when handling the fire as it will be very hot.
