Stop Letting Your Patio Go to Waste This Winter
It’s a frustrating sight: a beautiful outdoor dining area sitting completely empty just because the temperature dropped. Most heaters just can’t handle the weather, and the moment a bit of rain or wind hits, they’re useless. That’s why we built our commercial infrared heaters with an IPX5 waterproof rating. In plain English? They can take a beating. Rain, splashes, the works—these units keep running while others would short out.
How it actually works
Most heaters try to warm up the air. But if there’s a breeze, that warm air just blows away. It’s a waste of money. Our heaters are different. They use shortwave radiation, which means the heat travels in a straight line. It hits your guests’ skin directly. Even if it’s windy as hell outside, your customers still feel that warmth. And because of that IPX5 seal, the guts of the machine are totally protected from moisture. You can mount them in the open air and not panic every time the clouds turn grey.
The bottom line for your business
Let’s be honest: a cold patio is just lost money. When you add these heaters, you’re essentially adding more square footage to your restaurant without having to move walls. The math is pretty simple. If it’s 4°C outside but your patio feels cozy, people will stay. You aren’t just buying a piece of hardware.You’re buying more seats.
A few things to keep in mind
Getting these installed is pretty quick. They’re designed to drop right into your existing setup and start working immediately. But, here is a pro tip: these things pull a lot of power. If you’re planning to line up ten of them, please talk to your electrician about your breakers and wiring. You don’t want to trip your power and leave everyone in the dark just as they’re getting warm. Also, think about where you place them. Space them out. You want a nice, steady glow—not a “hot spot” where one guest feels like they’re being toasted while the person next to them is shivering.
