10 Unexpected Bio Ethanol Fireplace Tips

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give warmth to any room, without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines the fireplace will be safe to operate.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners who want to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They don’t require a flue and they don’t release dangerous smoke, so you don’t have to worry about the build up of soot on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn’t matter if you choose a full fire suite – for example, Mano Mano’s Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the instructions for the specific model.

If you opt for an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the necessary hardware to allow them to be hung as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. You’ll need to find the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn’t take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also pick between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners operate similar to fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace, it’s worth remembering that the burner should 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 properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

The Ethanol fire is a fantastic alternative for those looking to have an eye-catching feature to add to their home but don’t have the money or time to install a gas or wood fireplace. These are ideal for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not generate soot or ash, there’s no problems with maintenance also.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. No matter what style, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience 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 according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid 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 lit with a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can relax and enjoy your home’s warm atmosphere.

Some ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fire does not emit harmful gases or ash that can be harmful to those who suffer from respiratory issues.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install inside your home. The exact time to install them will depend on the model that you choose. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can pick an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you when you move. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.

No Flu

The major advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don’t require a flue in order to function. In the end, there is no risk of chimney fires that can result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn’t produce many particulates, which can harm the air. This is great for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The fireplace doesn’t release smoke, which means it won’t cause unpleasant odor in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for your valuables.

There are several designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed one that will blend into the style of your home.

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

When you’re done using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it’s important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will evaporate and you’ll need to start all over again.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will allow you time to safely remove the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from the reach of children and pets.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it releases some soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install, and certain models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing 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 your couch.

To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play’ wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow you to connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it while being able to turn it on or off, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

If you’re not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Don’t pour any more fuel into the burner until it is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is extremely hot.
