The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for professionals to do it.
You can also choose between manual and automatic bioethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners function similar to a fireplace, except that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches 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 great option for those looking for an eye-catching feature to enhance their home but don't have the money or time to install an electric or gas fireplace. They are great for new construction and renovations in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't create ash or soot, so there's no maintenance issues.
Styles and designs
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern and sleek design. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flames with no fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire is created by a burner pan that is located in the middle of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places have temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce gas or ash that could pose a risk 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 are installed in a short time. You can even choose an open-air fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a relocate, making it a good option for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key factor for many consumers and it's something that should not be overlooked when choosing an upgrade to your fireplace.
No Flu
The big advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires which could result from the build-up of tar, or an obstruction in the flue.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can harm the air. This is a great thing for people suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke that is produced by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about it burning which could be hazardous.
If you choose to install a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can opt for modern and sleek design by installing it on the wall, or you can get an recessed model that will blend in with the design of your space.
Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.
It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll have to start over.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with the slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.
When the fuel is burned, it releases a small amount of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding fireplace that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. Some models include a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible but you can still utilize the remote control to turn off the fireplace, adjust flame height and adjust the temperature.
When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it has reached room temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is extremely hot.
