Where to Start
Outdoor Planning
Great outdoor spaces begin with thoughtful planning. While many projects prioritize summer elements such as furnishings, kitchens, and landscape design, year-round performance requires consideration of every element — including outdoor heating. Integrating heating solutions early in the planning process ensures a seamless design, optimal placement, and a more versatile outdoor environment.
Plan Early.
The Best Time to Think About Heating is Before You Build
Outdoor heating works best when it’s part of the plan — not an afterthought. Integrating heating early allows for better placement, cleaner design, and the right infrastructure from day one.
Left too late, heating can become costly and complicated. Running power, securing permits, and coordinating professional support all take time — typically three to six months for a well-integrated installation.
Bromic works with homeowners, architects, and designers to ensure heating is considered at the right stage, to ensure the proper heating solutions meet your specific needs.
Warmth Designed Around People, Not Just the Space
Bromic uses infrared heating technology, which warms people and surfaces directly rather than trying to heat the open air. The result is an outdoor environment that feels genuinely comfortable — whether it’s a cool spring evening or a cold winter night.
When heating is planned well, it becomes a true part of your environment.
Plan for Outdoor Heating from the Start
Discover how to seamlessly integrate outdoor heating into your project with our step-by-step planning guide.
1. Your Environment
Wind exposure, coastal humidity, and local climate all influence which heating solution will perform best in your space. Our collection of heating solutions is specifically engineered to accommodate a variety of temperatures, including our Marine-Grade Platinum Collection for coastal environments and our high-performing Tungsten Freestanding.
2. Use of Space
During your planning phase, think about how you entertain and where you envision spending most of your time. Do you host large dinners, intimate gatherings, or simply want a quiet place to unwind? These areas can serve as a focal point for heat integration
3. Think Beyond the Patio
To maximize the full potential of your outdoor space, consider how heating can extend the usability of outdoor kitchens, poolside lounges, front porches, side yards, and other gathering areas throughout your property. By strategically incorporating warmth where people naturally congregate, you can unlock additional living space and enjoy your outdoors more comfortably and more often, regardless of the season.
4. Size and Layout
The scale and configuration of your outdoor area — including ceiling height, size and shape – will determine heater type, quantity, and placement. Getting this right ensures consistent warmth across every corner of the space.
5. Design & Aesthetics
Bromic outdoor heating is designed to complement, not compete with your design aesthetic. From flush ceiling applications that integrate seamlessly, to freestanding designs for flexible setups, Bromic has a portfolio of heating solutions engineered to perform as good as they look.
6. Electrical & Gas Infrastructure
Understanding your available power source early avoids costly surprises. Choosing between gas and electric outdoor heating appliances depends on space size, ventilation, available power sources, and how much control and flexibility you want over your outdoor heating. Whether you’re running electrical wiring or a gas line, proactive planning ensures safety, efficiency, and a cleaner finished result.
7. Complementary Features
Fire tables and fireplaces are the perfect component to a well-designed outdoor space by providing visual ambiance, however they offer limited heating for a complete outdoor space. Combining fire features with integrated and freestanding heating both gives you the atmosphere and the coverage for a space that truly works all year round.
