Planika Cottage Freestanding Bioethanol Fire

Yes. Cottage features Planika's innovative BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapours) Technology offering clean combustion without smoke, unpleasant odours, or ash. The flame is created by burning ethanol vapours heated inside the burner, ensuring there is absolutely no direct contact between the flame and liquid fuel which significantly enhances safety. This revolutionary approach produces the purest fire whilst eliminating all traditional fireplace mess, daily cleanup, chimney sweeping, and annual inspections. BEV Technology makes Cottage especially beneficial in cities and countries with CO2 emission restrictions where traditional wood-burning fireplaces are prohibited or discouraged. No chimney connection required enables placement anywhere in your home providing complete installation freedom. Made in Poland with premium Planika quality. The combination of cutting-edge BEV Technology with rustic traditional aesthetics delivers authentic fireplace experience without any traditional hassles.

The specially designed burner is filled with foamed glass which ensures a wider, more powerful flame compared to standard bioethanol burners. The foamed glass material creates optimal conditions for even flame distribution across a broader area, resulting in both enhanced visual impact and increased heat output. This wider flame creates unique ambiance that draws attention and serves as a natural focal point in any room. The foamed glass bed also provides the base for decorative ceramic logs, creating an authentic traditional hearth appearance. This innovative burner design combines modern BEV Technology efficiency with traditional fireplace aesthetics. The result is more heat, more visual drama, and a more authentic fireplace experience whilst maintaining all the safety and convenience benefits of vapour combustion. Perfect for those wanting substantial flame presence and traditional appearance without traditional fireplace limitations.

Yes. Decorative ceramic logs are included with Cottage placed on a bed of foamed glass to give the fireplace an authentic traditional hearth appearance. These ceramic logs create a cozy, homely atmosphere perfect for relaxation whilst adding genuine warmth to your space. The logs are specifically designed to complement the wider flame from the foamed glass burner, enhancing the traditional fireplace aesthetic. Additionally, an optional logbox is available (logs not included with logbox) that adds a decorative wood element to the fireplace creating the perfect combination of modern design and traditional rustic touch. The logbox blends seamlessly with interiors wanting even more authentic traditional appearance. The included ceramic logs require no maintenance and will not deteriorate over time unlike real wood. They provide consistent traditional appearance whilst the BEV Technology beneath delivers clean modern combustion.

Cottage features an automatic refuelling system with a dedicated pump ensuring the fuel delivery process is quick, safe, and completely clean. The pump connects directly to the fireplace burner and bioethanol (95-96.6%) is automatically pumped into the tank from your fuel reservoir. Once the tank reaches its maximum capacity, the system intelligently and automatically stops the pump preventing any risk of overfilling or fuel spillage—a common concern with manual refilling methods that involve pouring. This eliminates all mess, waste, and safety risks associated with traditional manual refuelling. Simply connect your bioethanol container to the pump system and let automation handle fuel delivery. The automatic system is especially convenient given Cottage's freestanding nature allowing placement anywhere. No manual fuel handling means cleaner operation and safer use especially in homes with children or pets. Made with premium components for reliable long-term automatic operation.

Cottage is a freestanding bioethanol fireplace that does not require permanent installation or chimney connection. This provides complete flexibility in interior design—place it anywhere in your home to add warmth and rustic character without architectural constraints. Whilst designed as a freestanding unit that remains in one location (it does require 230V mains electricity connection), it offers far more placement freedom than built-in fireplaces or traditional wood burners. You can position Cottage in living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, or any space where you want authentic fire without chimney infrastructure. If you rearrange your interior or move house, Cottage can be relocated unlike permanent fireplace installations. The freestanding design means no wall modifications, no structural work, no permanent ductwork. Simply position where desired, connect to electricity, and begin enjoying real fire. Made in Poland. Perfect for modern homes, apartments, or renovated spaces where traditional fireplace installation would be impossible or prohibitively expensive.
