Why Bio Ethanol Fireplace Is More Dangerous Than You Thought

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any room, without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.

If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fire and you adhere to all safety rules then your fireplace will be operating in a safe manner.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners looking to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't emit dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose an entire 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 can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. You only need to make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong and follow the instructions of the model you choose.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the hardware necessary to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to install the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You also have a choice of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or lighters to light the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the money or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They're a perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.

Designs and styles

There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of design and ambiance free of harmful gases or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable temperature settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which is useful if you want it to provide more warmth than simply ambience.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or wooden fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash that are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in 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 pick an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you if ever you move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is a key aspect for many buyers and it's something that should not be ignored when looking for the perfect fireplace.

No flue

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

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could affect the air. This is a great thing for people suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, therefore it does not create a bad odor in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame which could be dangerous for any valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get a recessed version that will blend in with the design of your space.

Another thing to think about is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automated one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

It is essential to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have enough time to remove the flames and ensure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Maintenance is easy

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a a soft clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are simple 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 even choose a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your living space. You can also mount a remote control onto certain designs to have full control from the comfortable sofa.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that permit you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. The fireplace can be installed wherever you like is possible, however, you can still use the remote control to turn it off, adjust flame height and set the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is off and kept away from any flammable materials or supplies. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until it has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be careful when handling it as it is extremely hot.
