Patio owners are increasingly discovering that installing a warming infrared heating source there is worthwhile, especially during Corona. This is because it is safest to move celebrations with friends and extended family outside if possible, even during the colder months. But the question of which radiant model variant is the right one for you raises its head. Is it the space-saving wall or ceiling installation to heat a specific area? Or the mobile pedestal radiant heater that promises more flexibility, but also uses floor space?
Trotec provides the optimal solution for both requirements. For example, have you set up a fixed seating area on the patio where you regularly get comfortable with family and friends? In this case, we recommend permanently mounted infrared radiant heaters on the wall or ceiling. Or do you like to stay flexible, move your patio furniture from here to there from time to time, and do not want to be without your IR radiant heater in your conservatory or when camping in your mobile home? Then a mobile pedestal heater or a splash-proof patio heater would probably be the best solution.
Infrared heaters for fixed installation on the wall or ceiling
Installing a wall or ceiling radiant heater is easy with the help of suitable brackets, and is ready in no time. During installation, you should make sure that the angle and installation height of the heater allow for optimal heating of the desired area. Once installed, the infrared heater warms the chosen area reliably. Of course, it is best to place heaters on the ceiling or at the top of the wall directly above the area to be heated. The heater should be no more than 2 meters away from its target area, so that the rays warm it up as effectively as possible.
Infrared pedestal radiant heaters for mobile use
The mobile pedestal radiant heaters from Trotec are quickly ready for use anywhere, without any preparation or fastening. Drilling and dowelling, or other complex assembly work, is unnecessary. Just set it up, switch it on and enjoy the warmth. Infrared radiant heaters can be positioned next to tables and chairs, exactly where comforting additional heat is needed. The pedestal heaters also offer the advantage that they also provide heat under tables, where wall heaters often do not work. Thanks to their permanently installed mains plug, the highly mobile heaters can impress anywhere where there is a power socket nearby. So whenever you do not want to go without an additional mobile heat source, an IR pedestal radiant heater is the best solution.
Installation tips for infrared radiant heaters
If you want to enjoy cosy warmth on the terrace in the cool evening hours and in the cold season as well, installing an infrared radiant heater is the first choice. But there is more than one way to efficiently attach or install an infrared heater. There are ceiling heaters with 360° all-round heating or using two wall heaters at the same time, which produces a more even heat radiation. And then there is the alternative of an infrared pedestal heater as the perfect solution for targeted warmth – even under the table. Our installation tips provide an overview of these numerous possibilities to support you in your planning.
