Infrared heaters are located
on the ceiling or wall directly above the areas where you will be located or the
object to be heated such as in snow melting. The air
in the entire room is not heated because infrared heats objects not air, so you
would be kept warm even in a relatively cold room. This is ideal if you will
only be located in a couple areas or if you will be coming and going from the
areas. Some comfort heaters use a quartz glass heating element and some use a
metal sheath tubular element. It is approved to use most types of infrared
heaters and reflectors outdoors, providing it is entirely shielded from rain and
wind driven rain. The Fostoria RPH heaters and the Fostoria Multi-Mount are both UL listed
for completely exposed/unprotected outdoor applications. The advantage of quartz
is a higher percentage of infrared versus convection heating. Metal
heaters last longer, and are not as subject to damage from environmental
factors. Quartz heaters emit light and metal do not. In
outdoor applications quartz lamp heaters are typically used because they are
less susceptible to heat loss due from wind because of their far lower mass,
(more infrared is emitted because there is less mass to hold heat which can be
lost to a rise in temperature of the air crossing it) and they reach higher
temperatures than metal heaters. Answer as many of the following questions as
