What Are the Infratech Mounting Options?

One of the amazing things that make Infratech the best outdoor electric heater brand among architects, interior designers, and engineers is its multiple mounting options. Flexible mounting approaches for our Infratech electric patio heaters include flush mounting (recommended for W and WD Series Heaters), wall and ceiling mounting (recommended for C, CD and SL Series), and pole and drop pole mounting. A top choice among expert designers is the flush mounting option that can be installed with edges exposed or partially covered by drywall, plaster, stucco, or tongue-and-groove ceiling treatments. All flush mount installations must always be on flat, non-sloped ceilings for proper installation. If you are looking for more flexibility in positioning and direct heating, wall and ceiling mounting is the best option for your Infratech electric patio heaters. Using this approach, outdoor electric heaters can be surfaced-mounted on walls or ceilings  using compatible brackets. For excellent heating solutions for your pergolas, covered patios, commercial outdoor areas or any space with high ceilings, the drop-down mounting is our best recommendation. This mounting option extends the Infratech electric patio heater downward to optimize heat distribution. Infratech Pole Mounts are ideal in spaces within no overhead structures. All these mounting options can be best discussed and planned with a licensed contractor for safe and secure installation and stylish outdoor comfort.
