Installation

You can’t halt the march of progress and in just a few years we’ve seen the landscape of electric outdoor heaters change dramatically. Gone are the days of patio heaters with identical bulbs and only marginally different boxy housings – 2018 is experiencing something of a renaissance when it comes to outdoor space heating and the products on offer are as diverse as they’ve ever been. We’ve now got stylish no glare heaters and appliances with innovative carbon elements, but while traditional halogen heaters can be installed just about anywhere, these newer models are designed for more specific applications. If you’ve been reading up on outdoor heaters and have seen phrases like ‘this product is best for sheltered outdoor spaces or lofty interiors’ you might not necessarily know what that means. Where do you draw the line with a sheltered space? What do you class as a lofty interior? This guide is designed to act as a primer to bring you up to speed on where to use some of our newer products.

Despite the fact your garden has the potential to be an outdoor oasis where you can escape the trials and tribulations of daily life for some much need peace and tranquillity, the weather doesn’t always cooperate with this desire. During the winter, the thought of stepping outside is often the last thing on your mind. Then when summer rolls around, the evenings can draw in quickly and get quite chilly before you’ve had the chance to truly appreciate your surroundings. But to solve these problems, several people are investing in infrared heating solutions, which are far more advantageous than oil or gas fuelled alternatives. What’s more, if you’ve got an overhead awning or trellis, these can be conveniently installed in a ceiling-like position.
