non-glowing-heaters
Non-Glowing HeatersAn ultimate outdoor heating system for the 21st Century Recent advancements in the application of deep infrared energy systems, based on a unique Non-Glowing radiant heating technology (initially developed by HeatRay in Australia for the medical industry) when applied to our commercial outdoor heating system, allow for unprecedented reduction of daily running costs by as much as 75%-80%. These market proven results are made in comparison with the traditional Propane fired or electric red/orange Glowing heating systems.

HeatRay's Non-Glowing heaters are particularly suitable for extensive daily usage and long seasonal operation over many seasons. The HeatRay slim-line heating panels integrate seamlessly not only with our own HeatRay Architectural Umbrellas but also with other outdoor structures i.e. pergolas, gazebos, marquees, glass conservatories as well as fabric pavilions or fixed overhangs & awnings, just to mention a few.

Glowing HeatersWhen application of an ultimate Non-Glowing radiant heating system may not be possible Heatray Glowing heaters provide moderately concentrated heat for outdoor spaces which are partially or fully exposed to the elements and when the Alfresco structures on which they will be installed are not equipped with suitable weather protection accessories. Typical applications include door entrances, corridors, building facades with window displays, semi protected transit shelters, municipally designated smoking pavilions and in other situations where the exposure to the glowing heat is limited in time.

umbrella-lighting
LightingDimmable LED or fixed Compact Fluorescent The HeatRay lights are designed to integrate with the HeatRay Umbrellas. The Slim-line fixtures are set on the top of the arms of the umbrella so that the light reflects off the umbrella's canopy rather than shining directly onto people below. In case of the dimmable LED system, the total amount of light illumination under individual umbrellas is independently controlled from within the building via HeatRay Power Control Modules.
Both lighting systems are suitable for frequent washing with water cleaning devices and garden hoses

canopy-skylights
Canopy SkylightsWhen the view to the Sky & the surroundings truly matters Ultimate overhead coverage, with the broadest view of the outdoors and a maximum rain protection is achieved by implementation of umbrella's canopy perimeter Skylights. These architectural features, not often found on other umbrella structures, fill in and "square out" the otherwise scalloped edges of the umbrella canopy . As standard, the Skylights are available in CLEAR finish, but optionally can be supplied as opaque fabric, either the same color as the umbrella canopy or any other complementary or contrasting color.

linking-gutters
Linking GuttersLinking gutters enable a number of umbrella structures to be joined together, to form a larger modular overhead canopy. The linking gutters capture a rain fall from the neighbouring umbrellas, ensuring no water runs between the individual structures. Linking gutters can be fully customized within a width span of 6" – 24" in order to provide a maximum possible separation between umbrellas ( if required) thus optimizing the overall floor coverage.
