Safety you never think about wrapped in a design you never stop looking at.
Tested by security experts.
To be tested for indoor use, a bioethanol fire must survive a battery of independent tests at an ISO / IEC 17025-accredited lab — no self-declaration allowed. These are the trials LA\VIK passes to sit safely inside your home.
Spill & leak resistance
The burner is tipped, knocked and overfilled to prove the fuel stays contained — around 70% of it is bound inside the burner, so there is no sloshing reservoir and no sudden flare.
Stability & tip-over
Pushed and tilted from every angle, the fire must stay planted and not topple — the reason for LA\VIK’s heavy steel-and-stone base.
Surface temperature
Touch-points are measured under sustained burn to prove they stay within safe limits — the job of the VentraCore cooling base.
Emissions & air quality
Flue-gas analysis verifies carbon-monoxide and combustion by-products stay under the strict indoor-air limits for a closed room.
Thermal-shock glass
The glass is cycled through extreme heat to confirm it won’t crack or shatter beside a live flame — lab-grade borosilicate only.
Safe extinguishing
Snuffing and refuelling are tested for a controlled, spill-free shut-down — so the flame goes out exactly when you want it to.
- Independent ISO / IEC 17025 lab
- No self-declaration
- Re-tested every production batch
Six systems, engineered to one goal: tested-safe indoor fire.
Each works on its own — together, they pass EN 16647 testing for indoor use. The standard cheap burners never reach.
VentraCore cooling base
A vented channel keeps heat with the flame, so the base never overheats — even mid-use.
Specialised safety burner
A sealed chamber with a safety cup meters the fuel and keeps around 70% of it bound — no open reservoir, no splash.
Heat-resistant borosilicate glass
Lab-grade glass built for thermal shock shields the flame — not the thin glass of cheap burners.
Heavy, stable base
Eight to fourteen kilograms of steel and stone keep the fire firmly planted where you place it.
Anti-slip base mat
A grippy silicone mat under the base stops the fireplace sliding on the table and shields the surface beneath it.
Calm-flame indoor ring
Drop the ring over the burner to lower and steady the flame for safe, quiet indoor burning.
The result: EN 16647 tested for indoor use.
Together, these six systems pass the European standard for indoor bioethanol fires — independently tested and approved. It’s the line most competitors never cross.
The base you can touch, even mid-flame.
Our VentraCore channel vents air around the burner so heat rises with the flame instead of soaking into the body. The one system no cheap burner has — and the reason you can move the fire whenever the evening moves.
- No overheating of the base, ever
- Safe to lift and carry while lit
- Protects the surface beneath it
Real materials, where others cut corners.
Rare Larvikite
A 300-million-year-old Norwegian stone with a blue shimmer — where others use cheap pebbles.
Borosilicate glass
Lab-grade glass made for thermal shock — not the thin glass of cheap burners.
Solid stainless steel
Hand-finished, heavy enough to stand firm. Built for years, not a season.
glør Classic formula
Not just any bioethanol. Ours.
It starts with what you harvest. Most bioethanol is a generic industrial fuel — and you smell it. We searched for the best quality raw material, not just any ethanol, then refined our own formula over two years: high-purity, cleaner-burning, longer-lasting, and gentle on the air. The fire is only ever as good as what feeds it.
- Cleaner, purer flame96.9% pure, refined to burn with a bright, steady flame and no black tips — no soot on your walls or ceiling.
- Longer burn per fillUp to 30% more time from a single fill than standard fuel — more evening, fewer refills.
- No fuel smellDe-scented so nothing competes with your fragrance oils — the room smells of the ritual, never the fuel.
The first & only
The only fireplace with a real scent ritual.
No diffuser, no smoke, no gimmick. Just a few drops of natural oil on warm stone — the way scent is released in a sauna. We’re the first, and still the only, fireplace to make this possible.
The flame heats the Larvikite and it stores that warmth — holding a precise temperature, exactly like the stones in a sauna.
Two or three drops of natural fragrance oil onto the warm stone — nothing touches the flame.
Held at the right temperature, the stone releases the aroma slowly and evenly into the room — warm, natural, alive.
