Choosing the Right Gas Patio Heater

Choose a finish that complements your outdoor furniture, paving and landscaping.

Commercial or Residential Use

Restaurants and hospitality venues often benefit from multiple heaters positioned throughout outdoor seating areas.

Gas Patio Heater Safety

Gas patio heaters should always be installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

For safe operation:

• Use the correct LPG cylinder specified by the manufacturer.
• Maintain the recommended clearances from combustible materials.
• Operate the heater only in well-ventilated outdoor areas.
• Position freestanding heaters on stable, level surfaces.
• Regularly inspect gas connections before use.

Correct installation and maintenance help ensure safe, reliable operation.

A Design Feature as Well as a Heater

Many outdoor heaters focus only on heat output. The Kratki PATIO range has also been designed to enhance the appearance of an outdoor space.

The tall flame column creates a striking visual effect that becomes a natural focal point after sunset. Decorative fire media such as stones or decorative glass can also be added to personalise the appearance of selected models.

This combination of warmth and aesthetics makes Kratki patio heaters popular for outdoor entertaining where atmosphere is just as important as comfort.
