Many of those who appreciate comfort and beauty, dream of a fireplace in their own house or apartment. After all, the fireplace, from a variety of other ideas and techniques allows you to create a truly homely and warm atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the classical stationary installation of the fireplace in a country house limited by many technical nuances, but the apartment — and not at all unrealistic. However, there is an alternative to the traditional fireplaces, bio-fireplace.
One could argue that the same qualities and has the heater, but there is one significant difference:
the Fireplace heats the room real fire, not just simulates it.
For the first time fireplaces that do not cause smoke in the room, appeared in 1977. Compared to wood-burning and electric fireplaces, they have many advantages. Fireplaces have mobile design: they can be easily moved to another room or to take to a country house. Even fireplaces with a stationary base can be mounted at the new location relatively quickly, without having special technical and construction skills. Moreover, you can install them at the cottage and on the terrace, where there is no electricity, and simply in any place you want.
1. Environmentally friendly smokeless fuelas fuel in the fireplaces use bio-ethanol, which when burned, emits minimal amounts of carbon dioxide, so there is no need to build a chimney. Also in the process of exploitation is not formed soot and ash.
Of course, for the filling of the fireplace will have to take care of the ethanol. It should be understood that bioethanol is not a simple technical alcohol, and a special biofuel of plant origin. You can fill the fireplace and the usual alcohol, it too will burn, but combustion will be allocated to the very characterized by "fusel" smell. So we can agree that the need to fill the fireplace with high-quality fuel is still negative, but negative is not very substantial.
Despite the fact that the product can be used without installing additional ventilation, it is recommended to crack a window or conduct periodic ventilation, thus providing additional air circulation in the room.
2. Quality heatingWell warms the product? No doubt, gas fireplace efficiently heats the room, often ahead of its electric counterpart. In addition, the heating element in the heater is essentially a large dryer, which dries the air in the room. As for the fireplace, even a small model can handle heating the premises with area up to 20 sqm, while not drying the air. However, when intensive heating of the room should be regularly aired, but this fact should not be considered a disadvantage, because an open flame warms very effectively, even when the window is open. As a result, we have in the room at the same time fresh and warm air.
3. Easy operation and maintenancethe Product is very simple to use and maintain. It doesn't need firewood, no need for the constant maintenance of the fire. It is possible to regulate intensity of combustion, which can not be done in ordinary wood-burning fireplace. All care is basic maintenance of cleanliness and periodic removal of residual fuel in the combustion chamber.
For apartment is the ideal solution, since installation does not require any documents and permissions from officials. In Europe the product has already received the name – "fireplace for metropolis."
4. Better than other counterpartsin Addition to the above, bio fireplaces have a number of other advantages. For example, the fireplace on biofuels can be used in combination with aromatic oils, conducting the procedures of aromatherapy right at home.
The product will perfectly decorate interior of your room. In the market you can find a large selection of fireplaces of various shapes, styles and sizes, so you can easily find a model that organically fit into the interior of your home.
For the manufacture and finishing of modern bio fireplaces use materials such as metal, glass, veneer, marble and granite, and in some models – even precious metals. There are compact and even desktop models of bio fireplaces, which can give exclusivity to the working office, to add flavor to the decoration of your home.
5. Low disadvantagesDisadvantages of bio fireplaces in most of the cases can be called "cosmetic". For example, if you do not light the fire immediately after turning on the fireplace, then the room will appear faint smell of ethanol, but it disappears within a few minutes.
If you follow the instructions, the fireplace less dangerous than conventional wax candle, but despite this, always remember that the use of fire is always fraught with some danger.
If we talk about price, first biofireplaces really belonged to the category of heating appliances available to only wealthy citizens, but those days are gone, today the price of a product comparable to the price of the electric analogue. published
