Lighting and heating / Integrated patio heaters
Integrated patio heaters
Targeted radiant heat for a defined seating area.
Heater output alone does not determine comfort. Exposure, mounting height, aiming, seating position, controls and surrounding edges all influence the result.
Explore the details
01 / The right fit
Start with the space.
Electric patio heaters can add targeted radiant warmth to selected seating zones. The heater type, output, position, controls and mounting clearances need to be confirmed for the outdoor area and exact product.
Works well when
- There is a defined seating or dining zone to target.
- The exact heater can be mounted with its required clearances.
- Electrical supply and switching can be planned with a licensed electrician.
We’ll resolve together
- The current output and coverage information for the selected heater.
- Mounting height, aiming and proximity to roofs, blinds and screens.
- Dedicated circuits, controls, weather exposure and service access.
02 / What to consider
Resolve the
whole picture.
Consider the materials, installation and everyday use together.
Targeted warmth versus open exposure
Radiant heat is most useful when directed at a known seating zone. Open, windy edges can reduce perceived comfort.
Coverage versus clearances
A preferred heater position may conflict with the structure, roofing, blinds or manufacturer requirements.
Integrated appearance versus exact product needs
Housing, bracket, circuit and control choices follow the selected heater, not a generic category promise.
Specification & care
The details that follow the design.
Materials and specification
The selected emitter and reflector direct radiant heat toward a planned seating zone. Mounting, aiming, switching and clearances follow the current instructions for the exact heater.
Output, coverage, clearances and controls confirmed from current manufacturer data for the selected unit
Mounting height and angle tuned to seating layout
- Electric infrared heaters with adjustable brackets
- Housing and finish options documented for the selected heater
- Dedicated circuits and compliant exterior wiring
Output selected against the seating layout, exposure and manufacturer coverage data
Wall switch, dimmer or remote controls where supported by the selected unit
Zoned layouts so you heat only the areas in use
Installation and maintenance
Supplier availability, installation sequence and responsibilities confirmed for the selected heaters and electrical scope
Cleaning, inspection and service follow the current instructions for the selected heater
Electrical checks are completed by an appropriately licensed person where required
Will they scorch surfaces?
Clearances and aiming follow manufacturer guidelines so nearby surfaces stay within safe temperatures.
Do they run on standard power?
Some models need dedicated circuits; confirm requirements during design so cabling and switching are planned in.
Evidence status
No named heater installation is published.
Sanctuary plans heater positions against seating, structure, electrical scope and the current instructions for the selected unit.
No governed Sanctuary project record currently verifies a named patio-heater installation. Context photography must not be read as heater-product evidence.
