It’s Getting Hot in Here

Even though the calendar says it’s spring, come March 20, you’re probably still not going to be planning an outdoor event. But wait … maybe it’s not such a crazy idea after all.

With some of the fantastic new options for heating event spaces, you can make outdoor patios a comfortable place to gather even on some chilly spring and early summer evenings. Best of all, you can do it with style.

  • The Hearth Lounge. A contemporary design that is chic and functional, the Hearth Lounge seats four and cycles heat to maintain a toasty 110 degree Fahrenheit temp. It’s more efficient than heating the air, while only using as much energy as a 1500 watt hair dryer. Designed to comfortably hold the human body, the casing is weatherproof and available in five colors to complement your décor. Read more.

  • Patio heaters. They’ve become not only functional, but attractive as well. Fueled by propane, the Tower of Fire offers a dramatic display of glass- enclosed flames in a stainless steel tower.  With adjustable flame levels, you can control the heat and the ambience for both comfort and drama.

  • Portable Fireplace.  Imagine your outdoor space accented by a sleek portable fireplace. This sleek, modern design weighs just 40 lbs., and burns for 4-5 hours using ethanol bio-fuel. Your guests will love the cozy atmosphere it creates, while enjoying the radiant warmth. Read more.
