If you would like a heater

We understand very well that you have made the choice to purchase a heater! A heater naturally provides pleasant warmth, allowing you to sit outside much more often and for longer during the year.

First of all; Can a heater be installed under a wooden roof?

Many people wonder whether it is safe to install a patio heater under a wooden roof, due to the risk of fire. However, it is very possible to place a patio heater under a wooden roof. This can be either a standing patio heater or a hanging heater on the ceiling or wall. It is important to follow the enclosed instructions when installing.

By following these instructions carefully, the risk of a fire is very small! Fortunately, because you can also enjoy the pleasant warmth under a wooden roof that comes from the best patio heater for you!

What should you pay attention to when purchasing a patio heater?

There are many different models when you look at patio heaters. You can opt for a gas patio heater or one that runs on electricity. You can also go for a hanging model or a standing model. You have to think about the dimensions, operating options and mounting methods. We are happy to explain to you what you should pay attention to when choosing the best patio heater for you!

Are you going for a gas heater or an electric one heater?

There are patio heaters that run on both gas and electricity, and the two have distinct differences that you should consider. We are happy to explain this to you further!

The best gas patio heater

If you choose a gas patio heater, you know that it is more powerful than an electric patio heater. Most gas heaters have a larger range, which means they can heat a large patio better. The advantage of a gas heater is that it glows less than an electric heater.

It is very important that you know that you cannot use a gas heater in a completely enclosed space. Because heating by gas heaters is done by combustion, which also requires oxygen. The gas heater can then ensure that the oxygen disappears from the air. Gas heaters are therefore only suitable in a (semi) open space.

Furthermore, the big advantage of a gas heater is that you can easily move it. Because this patio heater has a gas bottle, you are much more mobile. This way you can decide to place the heater under the veranda one time and then on an open terrace.

With this type of fuel, the gas bottle, you don't have to worry about safety. Most gas patio heaters have tip-over protection. This means that the gas supply to the gas bottle is turned off if necessary.

Electric heating for under the canopy

If you choose an electric patio heater for under the canopy, this heater often takes up less space. This is because you can also hang the electric patio heater from the ceiling or mount it on the wall. You must always ensure that there is a power point near the electric patio heater. This immediately ensures that the electric patio heater has a permanent place, so think carefully about its placement.

You can also opt for an electric standing heater. This ensures that you can move it, provided there is a power point nearby. With an electric heater you can enjoy direct heat under your canopy!

The advantage of the electric patio heater is that you can often operate it with a (supplied) remote control. This way you can also enjoy comfort in addition to the wonderful warmth!

The best patio heater per type of room

If you have a completely enclosed space under your canopy, you cannot opt ​​for a gas patio heater. This is because it burns the oxygen from the air.

If you have an open roof or an open terrace, the best heater is one with a short wave, as these provide radiant heat, just like the heat of the sun. The entire surface within the range is heated in this way.

With a closed canopy you can also opt for a heater with a longer wave. These heat the air, this is called convection heat, which is comparable to the fine heat of central heating.

The capacity of the patio heater

When purchasing the best patio heater for you, it is also important to consider what power is needed to heat the surface. The power required depends on the size of the canopy. With a heater with a high power you can heat a wide range.

With most heaters it is possible to set this in multiple settings, so you can determine how warm you would like it to be under the canopy.

A bit of a guideline for electric heaters is; With 1500 Watt you can heat a canopy of 12m2. Then hang the electric patio heater at a height of approximately 2.10 m.

The dimensions of the various models

You can also choose different sizes for a patio heater. You can purchase a standing heater that is low or higher. A hanging heater can also be wide or narrow.

For the dimensions of the patio heating, it is important to take a good look at what is possible under the canopy. You must leave sufficient space between the heater and the roof of the canopy.

Make the right choice!

It is always a good idea to choose a terrace heater to ensure that the temperature under the canopy becomes more pleasant. This way you can sit outside longer and more often!

Make an informed decision for a gas or electric patio heater. Make sure you choose between a standing patio heater or a patio heater that is a hanging model.

Make a choice whether the patio heater has a lot of lighting or has no red glow.

Also consider whether you want the patio heater to be portable or whether you want it to be placed in a permanent place.

Once you have made all the considerations, you are guaranteed to find the best patio heater for your canopy in our range!
