コレクション: Patio Heaters

Standing patio heaters use an overhead burner and reflector to distribute radiant heat around the unit, making them a practical choice for patios, outdoor dining areas, and larger seating spaces. Flame patio heaters feature a visible vertical flame inside a glass tube, providing outdoor warmth while creating a more decorative focal point. The better choice depends on whether heating performance or flame ambiance is the main priority.

Zone Heat Tech is a directional patio heating system that uses an adjustable heat shield to control where radiant warmth is delivered. Unlike traditional patio heaters that release heat broadly around the burner, it can reflect heat away from unused areas and toward a selected seating zone. This helps improve heat concentration and reduce unnecessary fuel use on restaurant patios, terraces, outdoor dining areas, and residential patios.

Yes. Legacy Heating patio heaters can be used in commercial outdoor spaces such as restaurant patios, hotel terraces, cafés, hospitality venues, and event seating areas. Standing patio heaters provide practical heat coverage, flame patio heaters add visible flame ambiance, and Zone Heat Tech models help direct warmth toward occupied seating zones. Always confirm the model’s outdoor-use certification, required clearances, fuel setup, and local commercial fire regulations before installation.

The best patio heater depends on your space, seating layout, and heating priorities. A standing patio heater is a practical choice for general patio heating, while a flame patio heater adds visible flame ambiance to backyards, lounges, and social areas. For corners, walls, restaurant seating, or spaces where heat needs to be directed toward a specific zone, a Zone Heat Tech patio heater may be the more efficient option.

Place an outdoor patio heater close enough to the occupied seating area to provide comfortable radiant warmth while maintaining all required safety clearances. Choose a stable, level outdoor surface and avoid locations exposed to strong wind, which can reduce perceived warmth. Placement near dining tables, lounge seating, or defined gathering zones generally provides better results than attempting to heat an entire open patio.
