There are four (4) different series of products within the HEATSTRIP® product category. Each has a different temperature
output, making them ideal for different applications. Below is a list of some common applications to assist with the
selection of the most effective and efficient series.
HEATSTRIP® Indoor (THS-A models) is a medium intensity heater used for protected indoor applications only with
installation heights up to 2.5m (THS800A) or 2.7m (all other THS-A models).
HEATSTRIP® Classic (THH-A models) is a premium high temperature heater and is primarily used for protected outdoor
areas with an ideal mounting height of 2.3m to 2.5m and maximum mounting height of 2.7m.
HEATSTRIP® Elegance (THE mo dels) i s a p remium high temperature heater and is prim ari ly used for protected
outdoor areas with an ideal mounting height of 2.3m to 2.5m and maximum mounting height of 2.7m.
HEATSTRIP® Max (THX model s) i s an ultra high temperature heater used fo r u ncovered or open indoor or outdoor
areas with an ideal mounting height of 2.3 m to 2.7m, and up to a maximum 3.5m for protected indoor applications.

HEATSTRIP® Elegance. Superior Technology. Superior Style
After many years of developing, researching and working in
partnership with coating technology experts, Thermofilm, a
world leader in electric heaters, has produced a unique
composition to produce the new generation of outdoor heaters.
HEATSTRIP® Elegance comes in an “off-white” colour which
blends
in seamlessly with most white ceilings in alfresco areas.
• Electric radiant heater perfect for your protected alfresco
area, pergola, verandah or café
• The elegant, slimline design and “off-white” colour blends in
seamlessly with most white ceilings
• World leading element design produces a more compact
and higher output heater
• Significantly more cost-effective than bottled gas heaters
• Corrosion-resistant to handle the toughest outdoor
environments
• Convenient DIY installation of 1800W and 2400W models,
3600W model must be hard wired
• Optional mounting brackets and controllers
• 2 year residential warranty and 1 year commercial warranty
We recommend installing your HEATSTRIP® Elegance with a timer controller to ensure the unit is turned off after a preset time. Thermofilm recommends Model TT-MTM controller which includes a timer function and temperature control.

Operating cost comparison
In many instances, patio heaters powered by gas bottles are used as an outdoor heating source. The below
table shows the operational cost comparison between HEATSTRIP® and a bottled gas outdoor heater. Not only
are the hourly running costs considerably less with HEATSTRIP®, but you never have to worry about running out
of gas, no refilling, no unattractive gas bottle to waste space; and HEATSTRIP® actually improves the value of
your property.
Notes:
1. Calculations of hourly running cost for outdoor gas heater is based on $25.00 average to fill a 9kg gas bottle and
average running time of 9 hours. $25.00 / 9 hours = $2.78 per hour
2. Electricity rate of 25.0 cents/kWh
3. All calculations are excluding GST.
1.8kW x 0.25 cents = $0.45 or 45 cents per hour
2.4kW x 0.25 cents = $0.60 or 60 cents per hour
3.6kW x 0.25 cents = $0.90 or 90 cents per hour
Calculations of yearly running cost are based on 180 hours usage
180 hours x $2.78 = $500.40 yearly running cost for outdoor gas
heater
180 hours x $0.45 = $81.00 yearly running cost for 1800W Heatstrip Elegance
180 hours x $0.60 = $108.00 yearly running cost for 2400W Heatstrip Elegance
180 hours x $0.90 cents = $162.00 yearly running cost for 3600W Heatstrip Elegance

Spot heating principle
In most outdoor or difficult-to-heat indoor applications, there are 2 options when calculating the size and quantity
of the heaters required.
Option 1 is to comfort heat the entire area based on the total dimensions of the space, regardless of whether the
entire area is being fully occupied.
Option 2 is to spot heat the high use areas, such as over outdoor tables, BBQ’s, lounges, assembly lines or indoor workstations.
Often it is more practical and efficient to spot heat high use areas. Spot heating will reduce both the initial capital
cost as well as the ongoing running costs. Spot heating will allow the area to be “zoned”, meaning only the areas
that are being used are heated, such as tables in a restaurant or outdoor alfresco area.
Option 1 and 2 show a comparison between heating an entire area or spot heating over a table.
The bottom layout shows the flexibility of using HEATSTRIP® to provide a comfortable environment, even when
the layout of the area is very unusual.
Option 1: 6 x THE2400 Option 2: 2 x THE2400

Radiant footprint
HEATSTRIP® electric heaters produce radiant heat which heats objects rather than the air. Therefore, it is imperative that
objects to be heated (ie. people), are within
the direct radiant footprint of the heater.
The diagram to the right shows the radiant
footprint of HEATSTRIP® Elegance and is an
approximate guide based on a fully enclosed
outdoor environment.
This diagram shows that the maximum heat
output is found directly under the heater, and
the temperature decreases as you move
away from the heater.
It highlights the importance of maintaining
recommended mounting heights, and if
possible, positioning the heater directly
above the area to be heated.
Note that the temperature is similar for all 3
models, regardless of the wattage however,
as the size increases and the length of the
unit increases, the radiant footprint will be
longer.
The below diagrams show the approximate heating area for each model, based on both an indoor and outdoor enclosed
environment, with direct overhead mounting.
The radiant footprint is reduced in angled and wall mounted installations.
