The Reasons Bio Ethanol Fireplace Is More Dangerous Than You Believed

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring a cozy feeling to any room without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire and you follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should operate safely.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or to add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke which means you don't need to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your ceilings or walls.

If you decide to go with an entire 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 can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for your specific model.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it will not take more than one hour for a professional to do so.

You also have a choice of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners function exactly like fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the funds or time to build gas or wood fireplace fireplaces. They're the perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, so there are no maintenance concerns.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood fireplace-burning look, whereas others are designed to look modern and sleek. No matter what style they all offer the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

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

The fire is made by a burner pan located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames have been established and the fire is ablaze, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable heat settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than just ambiance.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not release harmful gases or ash that can be harmful to those who suffer from respiratory issues.

Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to relocate, making it an ideal option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.

No flu

The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney in order to function. In the end, there is no chance of chimney fires that can result from a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could harm the air. This is beneficial for people suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there is no smoke generated by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for any valuables.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs to choose from. You can choose a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit or opt for one that is recessed to blend into the style of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer a manual or an automatic burner. 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.

When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fire is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start over.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol away from children and pets.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

The soot produced by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the fireplace is properly fueled and ensuring that it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or other equipment.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and where you can experience the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired location of your home. You can even put an electronic remote control on some models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn off the fireplace and electric fireplaces adjust the flame's height as well as set temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at room temperature. Be careful when handling it since it is very hot.
