Bromic Heating leads the industry in supplying your outdoor patio with radiant heaters that demonstrate outstanding performance and unbeatable quality. Unlike the elements on a dome or 'mushroom-style' portable patio heater, the 38,500 BTU infrared directional standing Tungsten BH0510005 heating element does not suffer from vertical heat loss. Most patio heaters heat the air around them. As that hot air rises, the heater ends up heating the air above them instead of the people and space around them. The radiant heater element on the Bromic Tungsten Freestanding Portable Heater (BH0510005) heats directionally to warm up to 200 square feet, that's almost twice the area of other portable domes, mushroom or tower-style natural gas heaters. The heat radiates evenly so the warmth is directed toward people and deep into open areas. A single push of a button starts the heater, and a control knob allows you to increase or decrease the heat output as needed. The Bromic-BH0510005 patented wind resistance technology lets this heater work in winds with gusts of up to 11mph while remaining lit. If the flame is blown out, the built-in regulator automatically disables the supply of gas. The tower-style modular design allows for easy disassembly and storage in the offseason.
