Wall Mounted Halogen Heaters: Perfect for Summer Evenings

Wall Mounted Halogen Heaters: Perfect for Summer Evenings

As the UK enters the summer months of June, July and August a lot of us are spending more of our time outside on our patios and in our gardens. However, when the sun goes down people rush inside to get away from the cold even quicker than they had raced outside to worship the sun earlier in the day. But, with new wall mounted halogen heaters, people can stay outside long into the night without being hit by the cold of British evenings.

You’ve probably seen these heaters outside bars and other places that aim to keep people warm at night time, but they can also be put into your own home as they can run off an ordinary electricity tariff and don’t require much maintenance. The halogen heaters use infrared to warm outdoor spaces and can be mounted on walls making them a subtle way of heating your patio compared to other outdoor electric heaters.

How Wall Mounted Electric Heaters Work

Wall mounted halogen heaters use near infrared to directly heat any people or objects are in the heating area, they give off heat that feels exactly like the heat given off by the sun and have several settings to make sure that you have the ideal temperature for your outside area. The best halogen heaters give off a slight orange glow and heat up almost instantly to give you much needed heat in outdoor areas. This feature makes our radiant electric heaters popular for commercial use in bars and restaurants where they are often used in smoking and al fresco dining areas. The infrared technology allows the larger wall mounted halogen heaters to heat up an area in excess of 40m2 so there is a large scope for the implication of these electric patio heaters.

 

How Wall Mounted Electric Heaters Fit into Your Garden

The advantage of having a wall mounted halogen heater is that, unlike free standing heaters, they do not intrude into your personal space and have a sleek design to fit effortlessly into the design of your garden and patio allowing you to enjoy your time outside without any worry. Also, wall mounted heaters provide a higher degree of safety as they are out of the reach of small children and you will not accidently brush against the heater. You also don’t have to worry about climbing a ladder and holding a heavy heater at the same time as these heaters need to be professionally set up to keep the electric connection safe.

 

IP Ratings Explained

If you scroll through our selection of wall mounted patio heaters then you will notice that each product has an IP Rating next to it e.g IP24 or IP67. The IP rating refers to how well protected a heater is against solid objects and water. The first digit refers to a product’s solid particle protection and the second digit measures the protection against water. The scale for both levels of protections ascends from 1 to up to 6 for solids and 9 for liquid. While an IP24 heater may sound low compared to IP67 heater, it will still be suitable for outside use as it will still be protected against objects bigger than 12.5mm and splashing water. So, you can be sure that, in the likely event of it raining in the UK, your outside electric heater will still be working when the sun comes back out.
