Modern Ethanol Fireplace Insert with Advanced Safety and Automations
The FLA4 is a premium linear ethanol fireplace insert, ideal for custom installations. It combines the beauty of a real flame with fully automated operation, making it an effortless, modern solution for any interior. Built with BEV™ (Burning Ethanol Vapors) technology, the FLA4 stands as the safest ethanol fireplace globally, offering a clean burn without the need for a chimney. This feature makes it especially suitable for contemporary media walls with a fireplace positioned below the TV, creating a sleek, continuous ‘line of fire’ effect that enhances any room’s aesthetic.
BEV® Technology – Safe and Controlled Combustion
BEV® (Burning Ethanol Vapors) technology is an advanced combustion system that ensures safe, efficient, and fully automated burning of bioethanol fuel. The process is managed by a microprocessor that controls every stage of combustion. Fuel is stored in a sealed tank, and only a small amount is drawn into a vapor generator. Here, the biofuel is heated until it vaporizes, allowing the vapor, not the liquid, to burn. This setup ensures that the flame never comes into contact with the liquid fuel, greatly enhancing safety.
Flexible Fireplace Installation Options for Any Interior Design
The FLA4 fireplace insert is designed for flexible configurations to suit any interior layout. It can function as a room divider to separate open spaces, a three-sided fireplace for panoramic views, or a tunnel between two rooms for a see-through effect. The island setup works well in the center of a space, creating visibility from all angles. Other options include single-sided installations for simplicity and left/right corner configurations to make the most of corner spaces. These arrangements allow designers to incorporate the FLA4 into diverse spaces, meeting both functional and aesthetic needs.

Tailor the FLA4 with Custom Colors, Finishes, and Sizes
The FLA4 offers a range of customization features, making it easy for interior architects to adapt the fireplace to various design visions and practical needs. By specifying custom dimensions, finishes, and colors, designers can seamlessly incorporate the FLA4 into unique interior projects. Here’s how each option enhances flexibility.
Custom RAL Color
A wide selection of RAL colors provides flexibility, allowing the FLA4 to blend with the decor or add a bold color accent, depending on the space’s design goals.
Custom Length and Shape
By adjusting length and shape, designers can fit the FLA4 precisely into different layouts, whether as a continuous line of fire or a compact feature for smaller spaces.
Custom Finish
Choose from multiple finishes to ensure the FLA4 complements the textures and materials already in the room, adding coherence to the overall design.

Convenient Control Options for the FLA4 Bioethanol Fireplace Insert
The FLA4 offers a range of user-friendly control options for maximum convenience
Remote control
Allows users to operate the fireplace from a distance, providing quick access to basic functions like turning the flame on or off and adjusting flame height.
Mobile app
With the mobile app, users can control the fireplace through their smartphone or tablet, offering additional features such as scheduling, remote access, and finer control over flame settings.
SHS (Smart Home System)
Integrates with existing smart home systems, enabling users to manage the fireplace through voice commands or smart home hubs, allowing seamless automation and centralized control within a connected home environment.
Touch Panel Control
A sleek, modern touch panel concealed behind a flap, providing direct access to control settings. This intuitive interface allows users to check fuel levels, adjust flame intensity, and set an automatic shut-off timer. For added safety, it includes a child lock to prevent accidental ignition and a device lock to fully disable controls when needed.
Effortless Refueling with the Automatic Refill System
The FLA4 fireplace includes an Automatic Refill System that makes refueling easy and secure. With the dedicated pump, the system automatically fills the bioethanol tank. Once the tank is full, the microprocessor immediately stops the refilling process, ensuring there’s no risk of overfilling or spills. Fuel levels can be conveniently checked at any time, for example, through the mobile app, allowing users to monitor the tank status effortlessly.
Optional Realistic Logs for an Authentic Look
For an added touch of realism, the FLA4 fireplace offers optional decorative logs that enhance the natural fire ambiance. These logs mimic the appearance of real wood, creating an authentic fireplace feel without the need for traditional wood burning.
Zero-Clearance Design for Maximum Flexibility
The FLA4 bioethanol fireplace is designed with zero-clearance capability, allowing it to be installed safely next to any surface, whether flammable or non-flammable. This feature removes the need for extra insulation, making it ideal for compact or uniquely shaped spaces where installation options may be limited. With zero-clearance, architects have the freedom to incorporate the FLA4 into diverse configurations—like in-room dividers, island placements, or tunnel installations—without compromising safety or requiring additional construction work. This flexibility empowers designers to maximize available space and integrate the fireplace seamlessly into both residential and commercial environments.
Nothing comapres to Planika and sophistication that comes with it.
- Patrick Helou Architect, PH ArchitectsIt is in fact a very original fire solution since it is hard to find an apartment where natural flame fireplace is used. It was impossible according to safety requirements. That is why modern bio fireplaces are a very good alternative.
- Elena Miroshkina Architect, Geometrix DesignPlanika fireplace does not emit any carbon monoxide. Even though it demands no chimney, it is still the focal point of the room. It gives that pure feel of the real fire.
- Tom Cornwell Owner of the Villa Escarpa, Portugal, The Oakridge Partnership LtdPlanika’s fireplace was something new for my investor and he was willing to take advantage of such opportunity.
- Aleksandra Bobrowicz-Nadolny Interior Designer, Dot.projektPortable bio fireplaces are easy to move in the case of rearrangement. Their simplicity is very useful in the modern houses. In my opinion, they have a great future.
