So, can anyone recommend it as a solution for this sort of role and
suggest any specific heaters / suppliers please?


Can't offer any specific advice other than to confirm I've had good
experiences with them in industrial workshops.

Gdgd.

Years ago a mate of mine
put them in a lab that he managed and they used a fraction of the power
that (say) fan heaters would have needed.

That's the thought.

As an aside, my "local" has covered over half its patio with
polycarbonate for the smokers, and they have what I think of as
"bathroom" type radiant heaters on timers. They work well.

I've seen that in a pub round here, they had four of them under one of
those big umbrellas and a push timer thing to spark them up. It kept
the smokers busy pressing the button every couple of minutes. ;-)


I have a floor standing / pedestal type 3kw radiant heater in my
workshop that I can move / point where I was working and generally
only need it on (1kw) till I've started working and warmed up a bit
then I turn it off. ;-)

The fan heater would have to be on 3kw, makes a lot of noise and you
can't really feel it less it's on for quite a while.

I just hadn't tried one of the pendant type, (like I've seen used in
chicken sheds and the like), but see they can be had quite cheaply so
could be worth an experiment.
