Spot Heating with Quartz Halogen Heaters at 40ft Brewery London
Project Type
Industrial Heating, Warehouse/Factory Heating
The Project
40FT Brewery recently opened a new taproom on the Blackhorse Beer Mile in London, creating a welcoming space for customers to enjoy their beers and food.
A key feature of the new taproom is a large seating area positioned in front of a roller shutter door. The design allows the brewery to open up the space to the outside, creating an inviting atmosphere and encouraging customers to come in. However, this presented a challenge when it came to heating the area, particularly during colder weather.
With the roller shutter door often open welcome customers, a conventional heating system relying on warming the surrounding air would struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures. The solution needed to provide immediate warmth to customers while allowing the taproom to retain its open, welcoming feel.
Quartz heaters provide instant comfort heat even when doors are open.
Project Summary
BN Thermic specified a combination of shortwave quartz halogen heaters to provide effective heating throughout the new taproom.
Four HN3-30L heaters were suspended above the main seating areas, delivering direct radiant warmth to customers, while four HWP2 patio heaters were installed in the bar area.
The combination provides instant, targeted heat exactly where it is needed, allowing 40FT Brewery to keep its roller shutter door open without compromising customer comfort.
The Specification
Shortwave quartz halogen heating was selected as the ideal solution for the taproom due to its ability to heat people directly rather than relying on warming the surrounding air. Unlike conventional warm-air heating, radiant heat is not affected by air movement or draughts. This makes it particularly effective in spaces where doors are frequently opened or, as in this case, where a large roller shutter door is often open.
The heaters deliver warmth instantly when switched on, ensuring customers can feel the benefit as soon as they enter the seating area. This allowed 40FT Brewery to achieve the desired open-plan environment, keeping the taproom welcoming and connected to the outside while still providing comfortable seating areas during colder weather.
The Units Specified
The installation consisted of two types of quartz halogen radiant heater:
4 x HN3-30L Heaters
Four HN3-30L quartz halogen heaters were suspended above the main seating areas, providing instant radiant heat directly to customers. Their shortwave infrared technology makes them particularly effective in the large, open seating space, where the roller shutter door can be left open.
4 x HWP2 Patio Heaters
Four HWP2 patio heaters were installed in the bar area, providing additional radiant warmth for customers enjoying the bar and surrounding space.
Together, the eight heaters provide a practical and effective heating solution, delivering targeted warmth across the different areas of the taproom without restricting the building’s open and inviting design.
A Successful Installation
The installation at 40FT Brewery has been a great success, providing an effective heating solution that allows the new taproom to make the most of its open layout.
The shortwave quartz halogen heaters deliver immediate warmth to customers, even with the roller shutter door open, helping create a comfortable environment without compromising the atmosphere that makes the space so inviting.
We’re delighted to have been involved in the project and would like to thank the team at 40FT Brewery for inviting us along to see the finished installation and, of course, for the excellent beer and very good tacos!
