Artificial Water Vapour Fireplaces with Optimyst Technology
Artificial water vapour fireplaces represent the most advanced category of modern decorative fireplaces. Using ultrasonic technology and light, they create a highly realistic three-dimensional flame effect without producing heat, smoke, emissions or combustion.
Often referred to as no-heat fireplaces, cool flame fireplaces or mist fireplaces, they are ideal for Indian apartments, villas, hotels, restaurants and public interiors where traditional fireplaces are impractical.
At Spacio, we curate high-performance water vapour fireplaces from global technology leaders such as Planika, engineered specifically for architectural integration, safety and long-term reliability.
What Is a Water Vapour Fireplace?
A water vapour fireplace is an artificial fireplace that creates the illusion of real flames using ultra-fine water mist illuminated by LED or similar lighting. Ultrasonic vibrations convert water into vapour, which rises through the burner opening to form a layered, moving flame effect.
Because there is no combustion and no hot burner surface, the flame remains cool to touch. This makes water vapour fireplaces one of the safest indoor fireplace solutions available today.

Architects, homeowners and hospitality designers across India increasingly choose water vapour fireplaces because they remove the limitations of real fire.
