Picture your next evening

It’s 7:40 on a Friday evening…

The sun has dropped behind the fence. The air has that first real bite — the moment someone usually says “let’s head inside.”

Instead, you turn one knob. A click, and a flame rises inside the glass tower — visible from every chair. Chairs shuffle a little closer. Someone refills the glasses. The conversation that was about to end just… keeps going.

Nobody looks at the time. And the patio you paid for finally gets used in the months you used to lose.

That’s what the Faro is really for. Not heating the air — keeping the evening going.

Why it feels different

A fireplace’s atmosphere. A patio heater’s freedom.

Most patio heaters look like equipment. The Faro was designed in Poland by Planika to look like furniture — and to work without a single contractor.

A real flame, seen from every seat

360° of living fire behind tempered glass — not an orange glow behind a grille. The glass also shields the flame from gusts.

The tank disappears

A standard 20 lb grill tank slides into the base behind a panel. No exposed cylinder, no hose on the floor — just a clean architectural tower.

Rolls to wherever the night is

Four locking casters. Move it from the dining table to the lounge corner, or roll it into storage for winter. No gas line, no permit.

Everything you need for the first night is in the box.

  • Protective cover — keeps it ready between uses
  • Decorative stones — the finished look around the flame
  • US-spec gas regulator & hose — connect any standard 20 lb tank

Only thing to add: a propane tank — the same one you use for your grill.

Giving it as a gift? Everything above comes in the box, so it’s ready to light the night it arrives.

Set up in about 10 minutes. Enjoyed for years.

Attach the casters and glass shields, connect the tank, press the built-in piezo igniter (no batteries). That’s the whole installation.

About the price

A cheap heater warms the air. The Faro gives you the evening.

A budget pyramid heater is an appliance you switch on. The Faro is a design piece people gather around.

It’s a genuine Planika fireplace with a real flame, a hidden tank, a $100 bonus package, free shipping and a 2-year warranty handled here in the US. One considered piece, bought once — instead of equipment that ends up in the garage.

Compare the delivered price. Some stores charge around $100 to ship a Faro to Florida or California. Ours ships free to all 48 contiguous states, so $469 is what it costs to your door.

Honest fit check

Is the Faro right for your space?

We’d rather tell you now than process a return later. The Faro is ambiance-first: you feel its warmth roughly 2–4 ft from the unit.

A great fit if you want…

  • A real-flame centerpiece for a lounge corner, dining table or entrance
  • Warmth for people seated close by
  • No gas line, no contractor — set up in ~10 minutes
  • Something you can roll to a new spot or store for winter

Consider a larger heater if you need…

  • To heat a whole open patio or a large standing group (or pair two Faros)
  • An indoor, garage or fully enclosed installation — the Faro is outdoor-only

Not sure? Send us a photo of your space — we’ll tell you honestly whether the Faro fits.

Straight answers

Questions people ask before they buy

How much area does it heat? Can it replace a patio heater?

The Faro puts out up to 27,300 BTU/h and you feel the warmth roughly 2–4 ft from the unit. It’s designed ambiance-first: ideal for a lounge corner, dining table or entrance where people sit close by. To heat a whole open patio, a tall mushroom-style heater (or two Faros) is the better choice.

Do I need a gas line, a permit or an installer?

No. The Faro is freestanding and portable. Attach the casters and glass wind shields in about 10 minutes, connect a 20 lb tank with the included regulator and hose, and light it with the built-in piezo igniter (no batteries). No flue, no gas line, no structural changes.

Which tank do I need, and how long does it last?

A standard 20 lb (5-gallon) propane tank — the same one used for a gas grill — stored out of sight inside the base. It lasts about 18 hours at full flame and about 23 hours on the lowest setting, depending on wind and temperature. The tank itself is not included.

Can I use it on a covered patio or porch?

The Faro is for outdoor use only. It can be used in partially covered outdoor spaces with good airflow — for example a pergola or a porch open on several sides. Never use it indoors, in a garage or in a fully enclosed space.

Is shipping really free, and how fast is it?

Yes — free to all 48 contiguous states, including Florida, Texas, Arizona and California, with no freight surcharges at checkout or delivery. The Faro ships from our New Jersey warehouse within 1–2 business days, tracking is emailed at dispatch, and most orders arrive 3–7 business days after that.

What if it arrives damaged?

Inspect the box on delivery and email mike@chichomedeco.com within 72 hours with your order number and photos. Once confirmed, we arrange replacement parts or a replacement unit.

What warranty do I get — and who handles it?

A 2-year limited warranty from the date of delivery, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use. Claims are handled directly by our US team — you never have to contact the factory in Poland.

Can I return it?

Yes, within the window in our refund policy for unused items in the original packaging. Return shipping and any restocking fee are listed there, so you know the exact terms before you buy.
