PATIO HEATING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
“The Purple People Heater” placement is critical for effective and efficient patio
heating.
For multiple heaters, if heaters are placed too close together, or mounted too
low, patrons of the patio may be uncomfortable. If heaters are placed too far apart, or
too high, on a breezy or wind-swept patio, the area may never become comfortable.
Infrared heaters work best if placed in areas of greatest heat loss, such as the
open side of a semi-protected patio.
“The Purple People Heater” may be angled mounted from 0 to 45 degrees
maximum.
W indy conditions can be a problem when heating any patio. W indbreaks can be
extremely effective in increasing comfort levels.
The heating requirements of any patio depend greatly on local climatic
conditions. It is recommended that you work with a local, and experienced supplier and
installer who are familiar with the heating requirements in your area.
For outdoor applications, the rigid pipe mount system is recommended to avoid
damaging movement under various weather conditions. The chain mount is ideal for
indoor use when hanging from an overhead structure.
