Description
The RAIS Viva L 160 Bio Bioethanol Fireplace is the tallest model in the Viva L Bio range, combining an elegant Scandinavian design with the flexibility of flueless bioethanol operation. Its slender cylindrical form, softly rounded edges and generous glass section create a dramatic vertical flame view, making it an impressive focal point for larger contemporary interiors.
The increased height of the Viva L 160 Bio gives it a particularly strong architectural presence. It is well suited to open-plan spaces, rooms with high ceilings and larger wall areas where a shorter fireplace could feel visually undersized. Despite its substantial proportions, the fireplace requires no chimney or permanent fixed installation, allowing greater freedom when choosing its position within a suitable room.
A grounded 230V electrical connection is required to operate the automated burner, ignition controls and integrated monitoring system. The electronically controlled burner delivers an adjustable heat output from 1.6kW to 3.4kW, with an additional 2.5kW ECO mode for more measured operation.
The 7.8-litre fuel tank provides an estimated burn time of up to 31 hours, depending on the selected output level. This extended operating time reduces the need for frequent refilling while allowing the flame to contribute both noticeable warmth and atmosphere to the room.
The integrated monitoring system manages ignition, operation and refuelling. If the fireplace detects an irregularity, it shuts down automatically and requires a reset before it can be restarted. This controlled system offers a more managed operating experience than a simple manually filled bioethanol burner.
The flame display can be personalised using a choice of decorative elements inside the combustion chamber. Ceramic logs create a more traditional firewood-inspired appearance, while decorative glass or stones produce a cleaner and more minimalist finish. Each option is designed to complement the tall flame presentation and integrate naturally with the overall fireplace design.
Further customisation is available through a choice of six colours, premium handle options and either a steel or glass door. This allows the Viva L 160 Bio to be tailored to suit a wide range of interiors, from softer and more traditional schemes to highly contemporary architectural spaces.
With its exceptional height, automated operation and flexible flueless design, the RAIS Viva L 160 Bio is an excellent choice for customers wanting a commanding real-flame feature without installing a conventional chimney or gas supply.
