We aim to provide the
best, widest and safest range of bioethanol fires available and the advice to
help our customers choose the fire which is the most appropriate for the way
they want to use it. We only sell fires from the top manufacturers with the
highest safety standards and which we would be happy to use in our own homes.
Our range includes manual and automatic bioethanol fires and we can also provide bespoke fires for domestic and commercial interiors and exteriors.
Although still a
relatively new phenomenon in the
Bioethanol is an alcohol
produced from the fermentation of vegetable matter. As it is produced from
vegetation rather than fossil fuels (gas and coal), it produces far lower
levels of carbon and so, subject to certain limits, it doesn't need to be used
in conjunction with a chimney or flue. The bioethanol fuel has a calorific
value and so, depending on the amount being burned, is capable of producing
heat. In a manual burner, the vapours produced from the fuel are ignited to
produce the flame and, by varying the size of the opening of the burner, more
or less heat can be produced. By closing the opening of the burner, the flames
are starved of oxygen and are immediately extinguished. In the automatic
burners produced by Planika, the vapours are piped through to the burner bar
from a separate reservoir within the burner and then ignited by means of an
ignition coil. The automatic fires have different settings for flame height to
control the amount of heat produced. The bigger automatic fires can be linked
into electronic building management systems so are particularly suited to
bigger domestic and commercial projects.
