Patio Heating

Patio heaters come in a variety of styles, to suit the different needs of each patio.

A patio heater can vary in:

  • Style
  • Finish
  • Fuel Source

Why buy a patio heater?

Patio heaters are the perfect solution to those chilly English summer nights when you want to stay out with a bottle of wine but can’t because it’s just a bit too cold! Patio heaters provide enough warmth to enable you to stay out all night.

Why not start the BBQ season early this year? Even before summer has fully come round and there is still a chill in the air. A patio heater will allow you to sit out for hours, even if the sun has gone down.

Style

Patio heaters can vary in style and size.

Freestanding heaters allow for you to move the heater where you want it. The can give off heat up to a 20 foot diameter and with a 360 degree circumference.

Mobile patio heaters are popular due to their portability advantage. They come with wheels attached.

Table top heaters are much smaller than the freestanding variety. These heaters are less expensive and are ideal for smaller gatherings, when the heat is not needed to go to such a long distance.

Ceiling / wall mounted heaters are ideal for smaller patios as these will save valuable patio space. They are also ideal for commercial applications.

Ground Mounted heaters are perfect for use at restaurants, cafes and hotels. These heaters are obviously not portable and we recommend you hire a contractor to install them.

Finish

Patio heaters can come in a selection of different finishes and colours including:

* Bronze
* Black
* Green
* Silver
* Stainless Steel
* Copper
* Aluminium

Fuel Sources
