All about Heatstrip® radiant heating

Plug-in versions can be connected to a compatible protected socket. High-power models designed for fixed wiring must be installed by an electrician.

The most common range is between 2.2 and 3 m. Too high, radiation loses intensity; too low, it can become uncomfortable and less safe.

Yes, with the dedicated brackets and required clearances around the appliance. Never replace the bracket with an improvised fixing.

An extension lead is not recommended for a permanent installation. Provide a suitable protected wall socket rated for the appliance’s power.

Depending on installation: wall switch, timed remote or compatible home automation. Choose the control method before wiring.

It schedules automatic shutdown after a defined period, preventing the appliance from staying on after users leave.

The appliances are designed for lasting integration, with materials suited to demanding environments and discreet radiation depending on the range.

Convection heats the air. Radiant heating transfers energy directly to people and surfaces, making it more suitable for open spaces.

Long-wave infrared ranges such as Design operate without a red glow. Other, more intense models may behave differently.

A breeze has little effect on radiation because it does not rely on warm air. Strong wind can nevertheless reduce occupants’ overall comfort.

Heat develops gradually, quietly and towards surfaces. It creates neither draughts nor circulating dust.

Electricity is converted into invisible radiation, which passes through the air and becomes heat when it reaches people, furniture or the floor.

It avoids heating the entire air volume and targets the occupied area. Actual savings nevertheless depend on energy prices, operating time and sizing.

Multiply power in kilowatts by your price per kilowatt-hour. A 2.4 kW model consumes at most 2.4 kWh during one continuous hour.

It produces no direct emissions on the terrace. Its overall impact depends on the electricity source and how well it is controlled.

Depending on the range, they use steel and corrosion-resistant alloys, selected to withstand long-term outdoor use.

Cardboard makes up most of the packaging and can enter local recycling streams. Separate protective materials according to sorting instructions.

Outdoor models have suitable protection, often IP55. Nevertheless respect orientation, electrical connection and the limits stated in the instructions.

Yes, it becomes hot during operation. Keep the appliance out of reach and install it at the prescribed minimum height.

Once the appliance is cool and disconnected, regularly remove dust and deposits using a method compatible with the instructions. Maintenance should be more frequent in coastal environments.

Some models suit humid or technical environments. Check the IP rating, electrical zones and room regulations.

Products distributed in Europe carry the required conformity markings and documents. Keep the rating plate and serial number.

Measure the area actually used, the height and how open it is. A layout plan helps distribute the beams and avoid cold spots.
