Stop Letting Your Patio Sit Empty All Winter
It’s a frustrating sight: a beautiful outdoor dining area that stays completely empty the second the temperature drops. Most heaters just can’t keep up when the wind picks up or the rain starts. That’s why we built our latest infrared heaters with an IPX5 waterproof rating. In plain English? You can spray these things with water from any direction and they won’t short out. You can leave them mounted on your patio through a winter storm and not give it a second thought. Why this actually works Most heaters try to warm up the air. But if you’ve ever used a patio heater on a breezy night, you know the wind just carries that warmth away. Our units do things differently. They use shortwave infrared, which sends heat in a straight line directly to your guests. It feels like sitting in the sun. Because we use high-density quartz elements, that warmth hits people immediately. No more “cold zones” where guests are shivering despite the heater being right there. Built to last (and stay dry) That IPX5 rating isn’t just a technicality on a spec sheet. It means we used reinforced gaskets and wiring that doesn’t corrode when things get humid. You won’t be spending your weekends swapping out burnt-out parts every single season. Just a heads-up, though: while the heaters love the rain, your electrical setup needs to be right. Make sure you’re using GFCI protected breakers to handle the power draw when you’ve got a row of these running. The bottom line for your business Here’s the thing: warm guests stay longer. And when they stay longer, they order another drink or a dessert. By getting these installed, you’re essentially adding more tables to your restaurant without having to build an extension or rent more space. You’re turning a seasonal area into a money-maker all year round. Setting them up is pretty easy, too. Most of these are simple drop-in replacements for those old, non-waterproof models. If you map out your layout right, you can keep your guests cozy at around 72°F (22°C), even when it’s freezing outside.
