FRICO Relax Glass Dimmer 1500, 1800 and 2200 W: stylish infrared heating with remote control
FRICO Relax Glass Dimmer is a range of short-wave electric infrared patio heaters designed to deliver immediate warmth and flexible heat control. Each model features an elegant black ceramic-glass front, a remote control and an IP65 protection rating.
Available in 1500 W, 1800 W and 2200 W, these heaters are suitable for private terraces, patios, rooftop lounges, restaurant outdoor dining areas, hotels and commercial outdoor spaces.
For every power output, the housing is available in black or silver. All six versions in this product listing feature a black glass front.
SCHOTT NEXTREMA® glass-ceramic and contemporary design
The high-temperature-resistant black SCHOTT NEXTREMA® ceramic-glass front panel gives the heater a discreet, refined appearance and reduces visible light from the heating element.
The powder-coated aluminium housing comes in two finishes:
-
Black housing: a uniform, understated appearance with a black glass front.
-
Silver housing: a stylish contrast between the black front and silver metal casing.
Both finishes complement modern outdoor furniture, residential terraces and professional hospitality projects.
Three power options for different outdoor requirements
The Relax Glass Dimmer range allows you to select the most suitable power output according to the area and installation conditions:
-
1500 W: targeted heating for smaller outdoor seating areas. Wall or ceiling mounting.
-
1800 W: additional heat output for patios, terraces and restaurant outdoor areas. Wall or ceiling mounting.
-
2200 W: the highest output offered in this listing, designed exclusively for horizontal wall mounting.
The 1500 W and 1800 W models can also be recessed into a ceiling using a compatible frame. This installation option does not apply to the 2200 W model.
Instant short-wave infrared heat
A halogen infrared lamp combined with a polished aluminium reflector generates heat quickly and directs radiant warmth towards people and surfaces.
This technology is particularly effective for localised outdoor heating, helping to improve comfort in occupied areas without lengthy warm-up times.
Remote control, three heat levels and timer
All Relax Glass Dimmer heaters include a remote control with three adjustable power settings:
-
1/3 power: reduced heating output.
-
2/3 power: intermediate heating output.
-
Full power: 100% of the selected model's rated output.
The remote control also provides a 1, 2 or 3-hour timer and can operate multiple compatible heaters.
Each unit has an additional built-in on/off switch on its side.
IP65 protection for outdoor applications
The IP65 protection rating makes these infrared heaters suitable for outdoor use, provided that all installation requirements and safety distances specified by FRICO are observed.
The range is suitable for Outdoor Contract, Ho.Re.Ca., hospitality, restaurants, hotels and private outdoor living areas.
Wall and ceiling installation
The installation method depends on the selected power output:
-
1500 W: horizontal wall or ceiling mounting; minimum installation height 1.8 m.
-
1800 W: horizontal wall or ceiling mounting; minimum installation height 1.8 m.
-
2200 W: horizontal wall mounting only; minimum installation height 2.1 m.
Mounting brackets are included. The heater can be angled into several fixed positions to direct the heat where required.
Always follow the manufacturer's installation manual and the required distances from surrounding surfaces and combustible materials.
Electrical connection
Every model is supplied with a 1.8 m power cable and plug for connection to a suitable earthed electrical socket.
