Why choose Heatstrip
®
electric radiant heaters for your outdoor or hard-to-heat indoor area?
As there is typically constant air movement in an outdoor or open indoor area, many conventional patio heaters rely on
convection heating which works by heating the surrounding air. This can be quite impractical for these areas, as this
heated air can easily blow away with natural air movement. Radiant style heaters transfer heat directly to objects through
infra-red waves.
Whilst convection heaters heat the air in between objects, radiant heaters heat the surface of the objects themselves.
HEATSTRIP
®
electric radiant heaters are more effective within an outdoor or uninsulated indoor area because they
provide targeted warmth directly to the people and objects in their path.
