Spot Heating Principle
In most outdoor or difficult-to-heat indoor applications, therefore are 2 options when looking at the size and quantity of the heater
required. Option 1 is to comfort heat the entire area based on the total dimensions of the space, regarding of whether the entire area
is being fully occupied. Option 2 is to spot heat the high use areas, such as
over outdoor tables, BBQ’s, lounges, assembly lines or
indoor workstation.
Often it is more practical and efficient to spot heat these areas. Spot heating will help to reduce the initial capital cost, as well as the
running costs. Spot heating will allow the area to be “zoned”, meaning heating only the areas that are being used, such as tables in a
restaurant or outdoor alfresco area.
The top table shows a comparison between spot heating over a table, or heating an entire area.
The bottom table shows the flexibility of using THERMASTRIP to provide a comfortable environment, even when the layout of the
area is very unusual.
