The original Sun-Glo patio heater was designed in 1961 by Edwin J. Cowan, a leading U.S. infrared heating appliance engineer. California had a unique demand for decorative yet practical gas-powered heaters. Cowan pioneered and developed the circular radiant heater concept primarily for use in country clubs, hotels, and restaurants.
Since then, the Sun-Glo heater’s design has been modified for a wide variety of uses. The Sun-Glo heater is now found in fine restaurants, covered and outdoor pools, spas, greenhouses, dining areas, and residential patios.
Using advanced heat distribution technology, Sun-Glo’s infrared patio heaters efficiently and effectively warm outdoor areas of all sizes. Sun-Glo’s durable stainless steel patio heaters feature modern silhouettes and are available in black and silver finishes. Much like the sun, infrared heat warms people and objects directly, rather than the air. This ensures quick and effective heating that is energy-efficient and allows you to enjoy your outdoor space even during the cooler months. Infrared heat also doesn’t “blow away” in windy conditions, which makes it ideal for breezy outdoor areas.
