One of the standout features of the FLA3 and FLA3+ is their customizable finish options. Whether you prefer a sleek and modern look or a more traditional aesthetic, these fireplaces can be tailored to match your personal style and complement your existing decor seamlessly.

For added safety and peace of mind, the FLA3 and FLA3+ are equipped with temperature, seismic, and tilting sensors. These sensors ensure that the fireplace operates within optimal conditions and automatically adjust the settings to prevent any potential hazards. The automatic refuelling system of the FLA3 and FLA3+ eliminates the hassle of manually refuelling. With this innovative feature, the fireplace intelligently monitors the fuel levels and refuels itself as needed, providing a continuous and uninterrupted heating experience.

What Is The Difference Between FLA3 and FLA3+?

The main difference between the FLA3 and FLA3+ burners developed by Planika is their burn time capabilities. While both burners utilise BEV-technology to ensure a safe and clean fireplace experience, the FLA3+ outperforms the FLA3 in terms of burn time. The FLA3 burner offers burn times of 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours, while the FLA3+ burner surpasses this with burn times of 19, 29, 31, 35, and 36 hours. This extended burn time of the FLA3+ makes it a far more superior option for those seeking a longer-lasting fireplace experience.

Because of this difference, it also makes the price vary between the two high quality burners. Their technologically advanced features and capability of burning for unrivaled amounts of time, the FLA3 and FLA3+ burners are excellent considerations for your fireplace. Keep in mind that these are merely burners and a fireplace frame must be purchased separately.

Alternatively, the burners can be insterted into existing fireplaces as long as you are not intending to use them the traditional way anymore. For example, a wood burning fireplace could easily fit a FLA3 if you no longer wish to keep a fire going with wood as fuel. In the case of gas fireplaces, it is naturally important to turn off gas lines before inserting any burner into this type of fireplace. Both burners are available in a range of fixed lengths, from 590mm to 2490mm, providing homeowners flexibility in choosing the perfect fit for their space. With wireless accessibility options and the ability to be refilled automatically, these burners not only offer efficiency but also convenience.

How Long Does A Planika FLA3/FLA3+ Burner Last?

As mentioned before, the FLA3 and FLA3+ burners are capable of burning for incredible amounts of time, reaching up to potentially 36 hours with enough bioethanol fuel in the tank. This makes the burners an excellent purchase for those needing a fireplace that can last for the longest possible time, as well as a burner spreading wide to show a lengthy flame in a roomy area. When using a burner for extended hours, there are certain things to keep in mind. Even though the bioethanol burned in the process does not leave any kind of soot, thanks to the natural origin of the fuel, there are still other things to take into consideration.

if you buy one of the larger FLA3 models, make sure the room is big enough and is not completely closed off, since the oxygen supply would slowly deplete, as with any other ventless fireplace. The fire does not emit any toxic gases, but oxygen is important for keeping the flame going, as well as being a habitable home. This only poses as an actual problem for the fewest of customers and should not strike worry as such. There are manuals included in the purchase explaining the approximate space needed to compensate for the amount of fuel burned, but as long as the room is not fully closed off, the supply of oxygen should not become a problem.

What Kind of Fuel Does The FLA3 Burners Use?

The Planika FLA3 Burner utilises bioethanol fuel. This eco-friendly fuel source is evaporated by the BEV technology in the burner before it is ignited, ensuring a clean and safe fireplace experience. The bioethanol fuel has no production of soot or carbon dioxide, making it a sustainable choice for homeowners.

Safety Features

The Planika FLA3 and FLA3+ burners are designed with advanced safety features to provide a secure and worry-free fireplace experience. These burners utilise BEV technology, which evaporates the bioethanol fuel before ignition, eliminating the risk of soot and carbon dioxide production. This ensures a clean and safe fireplace experience. Additionally, the burners feature wireless accessibility with remote controllers, apps, and a Smart Home System, allowing homeowners to control the fireplace from anywhere in their home.

The burners can also be refilled automatically using an electric pump developed by Planika, eliminating the need for manual refilling and reducing the risk of spills. The burners have heat sensors installed to prevent the fires from becoming too hot and disabling the ability of turning the fireplace on when it is still in the process of cooling down from previous usage. Additionally, the burners feature intelligent sensors against seismic forces and spillage of bioethanol. In this way, the burner can shut itself off if tilted too much or if fuel somehow leaks from the fuel supply. With these safety measures in place, homeowners can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of a fireplace without any concerns about safety.

Are The FLA3 and FLA3+ Safe For The Environment?

Yes, the Planika FLA3 Burner is highly energy efficient. It is equipped with innovative BEV technology, which allows for the bioethanol fuel to be evaporated before ignition. This eliminates the production of soot and carbon dioxide (CO₂) that is typically associated with burning fuel. By using this advanced technology, the FLA3 Burner ensures a clean and environmentally-friendly fireplace experience.

Additionally, the FLA3 Burner is designed to maximise fuel efficiency. It has a range of burn time options, including 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours, depending on your desired length of time for fireplace use. This allows you to control the amount of fuel consumed and minimise waste.

In summary, the Planika FLA3 Burner not only prioritises safety with its BEV technology, but it also offers energy efficiency through its clean burning process and adjustable burn time options. This makes it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking an efficient and stylish solution to their fireplace needs.
