What Is Bio Ethanol Fireplace? What Are The Benefits And How To Utilize It

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room without the need for expensive structural work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.

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

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. You don’t need a chimney and they don’t create dangerous smoke. Soot won’t accumulate on your ceilings or walls.

If you decide to go with a full fire suite – like 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 simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the directions for the model you have chosen.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be mounted like a flat-screen TV or recessed into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to install the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.

You also have a choice of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners function exactly like a fireplace, except that you’ll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

It’s important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don’t have the money or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They’re the perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don’t produce ash or soot, so there’s no maintenance issues.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of design: a real flame ambience without harmful gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan 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 fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which is beneficial if you wish to create more warmth rather than just ambience.

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or newer ones that don’t have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn’t produce toxic gases or ash which could be harmful for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install within your home. While the exact installation time will depend on the model you choose, most can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose a portable fireplace which you can take with you if you ever move, making it a great choice for a temporary home. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.

No flu

The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney in order to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn’t produce a lot of particulates that can damage the air quality, which is good news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fireplace doesn’t release smoke, which means it won’t cause unpleasant odor in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bio ethanol fires don’t lose a lot of heat to the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about it catching on fire which could be hazardous.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model, or you can get a recessed version that will blend in with the design of your space.

A manual or automatic burner is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.

When you’ve finished using your bioethanol fireplace it’s important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you’ll have to start over.

Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to properly remove the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the fire. In addition, it’s recommended to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it produces a small amount of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is properly fueled and making sure it’s a safe distance away from any flammable items or equipment.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you great flexibility in the design of your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your living space. Some models come with a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to 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 set temperature.

If you’re not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it is very hot.
