SunStar Heaters

SunStar heating products use infrared radiant technology that warms people, objects, and floor surfaces directly rather than heating the surrounding air first. This method of heating can reduce fuel consumption by 30 to 50 percent compared to forced-air convection systems in commercial and industrial spaces.

The Trade Table carries SunStar patio heaters, infrared tube heaters, ceramic infrared heaters, vent-free room heaters, and accessories for residential, restaurant, and commercial heating installations.

SunStar Heaters | Infrared, Radiant & Gas Patio Heaters

SunStar produces heating products across four main categories. The GLASS series is a wall and ceiling-mounted radiant patio heater built with high-temperature tinted glass that provides wind resistance up to 40 MPH — making it the primary choice for restaurant patios, bars, verandas, and commercial outdoor dining areas. The GLASS Marine Grade version uses corrosion-resistant materials for coastal and high-humidity installations.

Infrared tube heaters include the SIS, SPS, and SIU series, which are ceiling-mounted units designed for warehouses, garages, manufacturing facilities, workshops, and other large or hard-to-heat spaces. Tube lengths range from 10 to 70 feet with BTU outputs up to 175,000. The TOUGH GUY emitter tubes use heat-treated aluminized steel for higher operating temperatures and increased heating efficiency.

Ceramic infrared heaters in the SG and SGM series provide spot heating or total building heating using gas-fired ceramic elements with aluminized steel construction. Vent-free room heaters deliver supplemental zone heating for residential rooms without requiring chimney or vent pipe installation.

SunStar Heater FAQs

How does infrared radiant heating work?

Infrared radiant heaters warm people, objects, and floor surfaces directly by emitting radiant energy — similar to the way the sun heats the ground. Unlike forced-air systems that heat air and rely on convection to circulate warmth, infrared heating creates a comfort zone at floor level first. This direct heating method can reduce fuel consumption by 30 to 50 percent in commercial and industrial applications.

What is the GLASS series patio heater?

The GLASS series is a wall and ceiling-mounted radiant patio heater designed for outdoor and semi-covered commercial spaces. It uses high-temperature tinted glass that provides wind resistance up to 40 MPH and is available in standard and Marine Grade corrosion-resistant versions. Two-stage models offer high and low BTU output settings.

Do SunStar heaters require electricity?

Most SunStar heaters do not require electricity. They operate on natural gas or propane and are controlled by a line voltage thermostat or manual switch. This makes them suitable for remote locations, construction sites, and spaces without convenient electrical access.

What spaces are SunStar infrared tube heaters designed for?

Infrared tube heaters are ceiling-mounted units designed for large or hard-to-heat spaces including warehouses, residential garages, workshops, manufacturing facilities, dairy barns, greenhouses, and enclosed patios. Tube lengths range from 10 to 70 feet with BTU outputs up to 175,000.

Are SunStar heaters available in both natural gas and propane?

Yes. All SunStar product lines — including patio heaters, infrared tube heaters, ceramic heaters, and vent-free room heaters — are available in natural gas and propane configurations. Fuel type is selected at the time of purchase based on available gas supply at the installation site.
