In an indoor space, heated air remains in the room and can gradually raise the overall temperature. On an open terrace, warm air is constantly replaced by cold air. This is why radiant heating is suitable outdoors: energy is transferred towards people and surfaces within the heater's range without relying exclusively on heating the entire air volume.

However, infrared does not eliminate the effect of wind. If cold air moves strongly between the tables, perceived comfort will decrease even if the heater is operating correctly. Positioning, orientation and lateral protection of the terrace therefore remain important.

A terrace with a roof and two protected sides behaves differently from a fully open one. For this reason, estimates based only on area in square metres should be treated as indicative. Correct selection depends on the real geometry of the space.

Thermal radiation must reach the area where people are located. If the heater is mounted too high, directed parallel to the seating area or positioned laterally without useful coverage, part of the energy will not contribute to the desired comfort.

For an outdoor table, the heater should be directed so the radiant zone covers the occupied seats. A lounge or sofa area may require a different installation. In larger projects, two correctly positioned heaters can provide more even distribution than a single centrally installed unit.

A stand is useful where the terrace layout changes, while fixed installation offers stability and constant orientation. The choice depends on furniture, circulation routes and how the space is used.

A 20 m² terrace attached to the house, with a roof and two side walls, may retain comfort more easily than a fully open 20 m² terrace. In the first case, the heater can be installed closer to the seating area and benefit from more favourable geometry. In the second, air currents and lack of protection can reduce perceived comfort.

For this reason, we do not recommend choosing by a simple formula such as “one heater for X square metres” without analysing the space. Outdoors, it is more accurate to think in terms of acomfort zone: the table, sofa, lounge corner or waiting area.

In larger projects, several correctly positioned heaters can provide more even distribution than one very powerful unit. They also allow the terrace to be divided into zones that can be switched on separately.

Blade S and Nevada 2500 have the same maximum output of 2500 W and are both aimed at outdoor use, but they respond to different priorities. Blade S suits projects where slim design, premium construction and visual integration are very important.

Nevada 2500 is a very good choice when flexibility is a priority. Availability with and without a stand allows the heater to adapt to terraces where furniture or the occupied area changes more often.

From an SEO and technical perspective, it is important to emphasise that the choice between them is not based only on IP55 protection. Installation type, appearance, desired position and whether the heater should remain fixed or be repositionable also matter.

For outdoor use,remote controlallows rapid adjustment when temperature drops, wind increases or the occupied area changes. It is especially useful for wall-mounted heaters where direct access is inconvenient.

Power levelsare very important in an open space because comfort requirements change quickly. On a mild evening a reduced level may be enough, while colder or windier periods may require a higher level within the model's limits.

The timerhelps control operating duration, especially when heating is used only for dinner, a lounge area or a defined period. This allows the heater to be used only when needed, without unnecessary operation.

The thermostatshould be interpreted differently outdoors. On a fully open terrace, ambient temperature can change very quickly and does not always reflect the radiant comfort felt by people within the heater's range. The function becomes more useful on covered terraces, verandas or semi-enclosed spaces.
