Planika FORMA Tunnel Bio-fireplace
The Planika FORMA Tunnel is a tunnel-style architectural bio-fireplace designed to be integrated into a wall, room divider, or other structure. The linear line of fire, visible from both sides, brings a real flame into the room and connects two spaces in a spectacular way.
The FORMA's Zero Clearance design allows the fireplace to be integrated even with combustible materials, in accordance with the manufacturer's specified structural and installation requirements. This provides significantly more freedom when designing, for example, wood-clad walls, furniture, and other architectural ensembles.
With the FORMA Tunnel, you can choose the burner and length that best suits your project. The available Planika burners offer various power and burn-time options, and the automatic BEV® technology makes using the fireplace easy and controlled.

ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS
We are happy to assist with the design and selection of the right Planika solution from the very beginning of the project. We also provide technical support, as well as DWG drawings and 3D objects to support your design, upon request.
ZERO CLEARANCE
Design more freely.
The FORMA Tunnel’s Zero Clearance construction allows the fireplace to be integrated into walls and structures even when using combustible materials, provided the installation is carried out according to Planika's specified requirements.
FORMA offers more freedom in designing materials and surface finishes.
Innovative touch panel
With the Forma bioethanol fireplace's touch panel, you can easily control the fireplace and monitor its operation from one place. You can start and stop the fire, adjust the flame intensity, and track the fuel level. The panel also features a sleep timer and a child lock. The Forma bio-burner always comes with a remote control and the option to operate the device with your own smartphone. The PRIME FIRE 2.0 burner does not have a touch panel.
Auto-fill – easy and controlled
Planika's automatic filling system makes adding bioethanol easy and safe. The pump transfers the fuel directly into the tank and stops automatically when the tank is full. This ensures filling is done without spilling or overfilling. Automatic pump as standard equipment.
NET ZERO fireplace
Planika bio-fires equipped with BEV technology offer a net-zero emission combustion process, producing only a small amount of CO2, comparable to human respiration. Planika's high-quality bioethanol is produced from corn, wheat, or potatoes. These plants absorb CO2, which supports its continuous cycle in nature. Thanks to this, these innovative fireplaces can also be used in cities where fossil fuel emissions are regulated or prohibited.
BEV® TECHNOLOGY - CONTROLLED COMBUSTION PROCESS
Planika's patented, state-of-the-art BEV® technology is based on a controlled combustion process of bioethanol vapor. The bioethanol is stored in a sealed tank, from which only the required amount is fed into the vaporizer. The vaporized fuel is led to the burner where it combusts – the flame is not in direct contact with the liquid bioethanol.
The entire combustion process is controlled by a microprocessor that utilizes several sensors and monitors the fireplace’s operation. The automatic system allows for controlled ignition, shutdown, and flame adjustment.
BEV® technology produces no smoke, soot, or ash and does not require a flue. This provides more freedom in fireplace placement and makes it possible to introduce a real fire even into modern interiors where a traditional chimney-based fireplace would not be possible.

SAFE QUALITY
Planika's bio fireplaces have been developed with technology and construction that offer their users the highest level of safety. This means taking into account every possible human error that could occur during the heating or refueling process.
For over 20 years, Planika has been developing the safety of bioethanol fireplaces. The bio-burner equipped with BEV technology contains several systems that monitor the fireplace's operation and react to abnormal situations.
TEMPERATURE SENSORS
Multiple temperature sensors monitor the heat-generating areas of the fireplace and react quickly to undesirable temperature changes.
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The fuel level is continuously monitored. If the level in the tank drops too low, the FLA4 shuts down automatically and notifies the user of the situation.
SHAKE SENSOR
The shake sensor shuts down the fireplace if it detects abnormal vibration or, for example, the device being struck.
LEAKAGE SENSOR
The system detects any potential fuel leakage and reacts to it automatically.
DURABLE CONSTRUCTION
The burner's top plate and fuel tank are made of stainless steel. The products undergo mechanical, chemical, and temperature resistance tests.
FUEL RETURN SYSTEM
Unused liquid fuel is returned from the vaporizer back to the fuel tank. The same function is activated if the fireplace detects an abnormal situation and shuts down automatically.
FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS PLANIKA FORMA TUNNEL?
FORMA Tunnel is a double-sided architectural bioethanol fireplace where the fire is visible on both sides of the structure. It is suitable for use in a wall, as a room divider, or as part of another architectural feature.
WHAT DOES ZERO CLEARANCE MEAN?
Zero Clearance allows the FORMA bioethanol fireplace to be integrated even with combustible materials, in accordance with the construction and installation requirements specified by Planika.
WHICH BULB CAN I CHOOSE?
FORMA is available with Prime Fire 2.0, FLA4, and FLA4+ burners. The suitable option depends on factors such as desired runtime, control features, and budget.
WHERE CAN A PLANIKA BIO-FIREPLACE BE INSTALLED?
Planika bioethanol fireplaces are designed for a variety of interior applications. The suitable solution depends on the fireplace model and the method of installation. Always follow the installation instructions for the specific product when installing.
DOES A PLANIKA BIO-FIREPLACE NEED A FLUE?
Planika fireplaces based on BEV® technology do not require flue gas extraction or a traditional chimney.
DOES A PLANIKA FIREPLACE REQUIRE A VENTILATION DUCT?
A separate ventilation duct is not normally required, but the ventilation of the space must meet the requirements of the product and the building.
WHAT FUEL IS USED IN A BIO-FIREPLACE?
Planika fireplaces use high-quality liquid bioethanol suitable for the purpose. The fuel must meet the manufacturer's requirements.
CAN THE FLAME INTENSITY BE ADJUSTED?
Yes. BEV® technology allows for controlled flame adjustment depending on the product model.
CAN THE FIREPLACE BE CONTROLLED WITH A REMOTE CONTROL OR A SMARTPHONE?

DOES THE FIREPLACE PRODUCE SMOKE OR ASH?
Combustion based on BEV® technology produces no smoke, soot, or ash, so it does not cause mess and is perfectly suited for allergy-friendly spaces.
CAN A PLANIKA BIO FIREPLACE BE INSTALLED BY ONESELF?
The installation method depends on the product and the project, and it can often be done yourself. Fixed and integrated solutions must be implemented according to the manufacturer's installation instructions. During the planning phase, we are happy to help you determine the appropriate solution and implementation.
ARE DESIGN FILES AVAILABLE FOR PLANIKA FIREPLACES?
Yes. DWG drawings and 3D objects, among other things, are available for architects and designers. The materials are provided upon request.
