Product Overview

Rev B MAR14

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.

Discrete, stylish heating for undercover outdoor and indoor open areas

Using the radiant heating principle, HEATSTRIP® can provide effective and energy efficient comfort heating for undercover
outdoor and indoor open areas. HEATSTRIP® has successfully enabled many entertainment venues such as restaurants,
pubs and clubs to utilise their outdoor dining areas day and night, through all seasons. Within your workplace or business,
HEATSTRIP® can provide comfort heating for designated outdoor smoking and leisure areas, as well as for workstation
spot heating in factories, warehouses and showrooms. Within your home, HEATSTRIP® can provide comfort heating for
undercover alfresco dining and BBQ area, patios, verandas, courtyards and balconies.

Subtle, minimalist design

The stylish, slimline black face of the HEATSTRIP® does not emit light or glow when in use, blending elegantly into your
décor. Ceiling, wall and umbrella mounting options ensure that your valuable floor and table space is not wasted.

Spot heating principle

In most outdoor or difficult-to-heat indoor applications, there are 2 options when looking at the size and quantity
of the heater required. Option 1 is to comfort heat the entire area based on the total dimensions of the space,
regarding 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 workstation.
Often it is more practical and efficient to spot heat these areas. Spot heating will help to reduce the initial capital
cost, as well as the running costs. Spot heating will allow the area to be “zoned”, meaning heating only the areas
that are being used, such as tables in a restaurant or outdoor alfresco area.

The top table shows a comparison between spot heating over a table, or heating an entire area.
The bottom table shows the flexibility of using HEATSTRIP® to provide a comfortable environment, even when
the layout of the area is very unusual.
