Guide

Why choose outdoor infrared heating?

Electric outdoor infrared heating transfers energy directly to people and surfaces through radiant heat. The result is immediate, stable comfort, even when air movement would make convection less effective.

Practical benefits

  • Heat felt in under 30 seconds
  • Targeted warmth on the occupied area
  • No combustion and no gas cylinders to store
  • Discreet integration under pergolas, walls or ceilings

Where it works best

Patio, bioclimatic pergola, veranda, balcony or hospitality terrace: radiant heating remains effective where convection quickly loses efficiency outdoors.

To compare available solutions, see the electric patio heater page. For sizing, read the technical infrared patio heating guide. If your project is still open, start with choosing an outdoor heater.

Heat that changes everything

Traditional heaters warm the air. The problem is simple: as soon as there is wind, that heat disappears. Our infrared radiant heaters work like the sun — they heat people and surfaces directly, not the surrounding air. The result is immediate, enveloping and stable warmth, even outdoors.

Another major difference: our premium models produce little or no visible red light. No “work light” effect — just discreet, comfortable heat that preserves the atmosphere of your space.

What about power? Our radiant heaters cover much larger areas than many standard appliances on the market. One unit can be enough where two or three from another brand would be required.

A few guidelines to size your project:

Your spaceRecommended power
Small outdoor lounge, 4 to 6 m²1,500 to 2,000 W
Family terrace, 8 to 12 m²2,000 to 2,800 W
Large terrace, 12 to 20 m²2,800 to 3,200 W
Large professional area, +20 m²From 3,200 W
FAQ

FAQ — Outdoor Infrared Heating

An electric infrared radiant heater is the most efficient solution for a terrace or pergola. It directly heats people and surfaces through radiation, without heat loss to the ambient air, ensuring stable comfort even in windy conditions.

As a general rule, you should plan for 200 W to 250 W per m², depending on wind exposure and installation height. For a 10 m² area, expect to need between 2,000 W and 2,500 W. Accurate sizing remains essential to ensure optimal comfort.

Yes, provided you select a device that is at least IP65 certified and plan for an appropriate ceiling mount. The Heatscope and Heatstrip models are approved for permanent outdoor installation.

Heatscope focuses on design and architectural integration with reduced light emission, ideal for premium residential and hospitality spaces. Heatstrip stands out with its ultra-flat format and high surface power, recommended for large professional terraces.

Compared to gas, electric infrared heating allows for up to 30% energy savings thanks to targeted heat and the lack of a preheating phase. It also eliminates the hassle of buying and transporting gas bottles.
