Ease of installation
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't produce dangerous smoke which means you don't need to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
Installation is simple and doesn't require any specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the instructions for the model you have chosen.
If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace Most come with the fittings that allow them to be either hung as a flat-screen television or placed in the wall. You'll need to find the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however it should not take more than an hour for a professional to do so.
There is also the option of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner operates exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light 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 with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to set up gas or
wood fireplaces. They're the perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some bio
ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport modern and sleek design. Every type of fireplace comes with the same advantages regardless of design and ambiance without harmful gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire is created by a burner pan located at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames are established and the fire is ablaze, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even have heating settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which is beneficial if you wish to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place doesn't produce toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for those suffering from respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The exact time to install them will depend on the model that you choose. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace which you can take with you if you ever relocate, making it an ideal choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing an electric fireplace.
No Flu
The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particles, which could harm the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce a bad smell in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose much heat up the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture close to the fire without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for your valuables.
If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose an installation on the wall for modern, sleek design or a recessed model that blends into the design of your space.
Another thing to consider is whether you want either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the burner is cool before refilling. Otherwise the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start again.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you time to safely extinguish the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.
The soot created from the combustion of fuel is easily removed using a an easy clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the fireplace is full of the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or equipment.
Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without having to worry about building regulations or chimneys. 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 could even choose to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol
cheap fireplaces can be simple to install and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you the flame and heat to be directed into the desired part of the room. You can even put a remote control onto certain designs to have full control from the comfortable sofa.
Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be capable of turning it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
When you are not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is turned off and is away from any flammable materials or equipment.
