FRICO Relax Glass Dimmer White/Silver: refined outdoor design and adjustable warmth
Contemporary terraces, elegant restaurant dining areas and private patios deserve heating solutions that complement their surroundings. The FRICO Relax Glass Dimmer range with white glass brings together short-wave infrared technology and a distinctive design featuring a white front panel and silver housing.
Available with 1500 W, 1800 W and 2200 W heating outputs, these patio heaters offer targeted warmth without compromising the visual harmony of the outdoor space.
The included remote control, three adjustable power settings and programmable timer help you manage comfort according to the conditions. The IP65 protection rating makes the appliances suitable for outdoor applications when installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
White SCHOTT NEXTREMA® glass-ceramic and silver finish
The defining design feature is a white SCHOTT NEXTREMA® glass-ceramic front panel, made from a material with excellent resistance to high temperatures.
The white surface is paired with a silver powder-coated aluminium housing, creating a clean, understated appearance.
This combination works particularly well with light-coloured pergolas, modern facades, stone finishes, neutral outdoor furniture and contemporary metal structures.
All models in this listing feature the same colour combination:
-
Glass colour: white.
-
Housing colour: silver.
Three power options for different outdoor areas
The range offers three heating outputs, allowing the most appropriate model to be selected according to the installation position and the characteristics of the area.
Relax Glass Dimmer 1500 W is intended for localised heating of compact outdoor seating areas, smaller patios and balconies. It can be mounted horizontally on a wall or ceiling.
Relax Glass Dimmer 1800 W provides greater heat output for terraces, outdoor dining areas and lounge spaces in residential or professional settings. Wall and ceiling mounting are also possible.
Relax Glass Dimmer 2200 W offers the highest output among the three models listed here. It is intended exclusively for horizontal wall mounting.
Direct heat with short-wave infrared technology
The heating system combines a short-wave infrared halogen lamp with a polished aluminium reflector to direct radiant energy towards people and surfaces.
The rapid heat response helps create more comfortable outdoor areas for relaxation, conversation and dining.
Heat distribution depends on heater positioning, exposure to wind and the characteristics of the surrounding space. Larger projects may require several units arranged to provide effective coverage.
Adjustable comfort with remote control
Every FRICO Relax Glass Dimmer heater includes a remote control for adjusting output and operating time.
Three heat levels are available:
-
1/3 power: reduced heating intensity.
-
2/3 power: intermediate heating intensity.
-
100% power: the full rated output of the selected model.
The built-in timer allows automatic shut-off after 1, 2 or 3 hours.
One remote control can operate multiple compatible heaters. A separate on/off switch is also located on the side of each unit.
Outdoor heating for architecture and hospitality
The White/Silver finish is particularly attractive for projects where light colours play an important role in the architectural design.
Applications include hotel terraces, restaurant outdoor dining areas, bars, rooftops, resorts, hospitality venues, private patios and commercial outdoor spaces.
For architects and designers, the choice of three power ratings makes it possible to plan heating around terrace dimensions and furniture layouts while maintaining a consistent visual appearance.
IP65 protection and outdoor installation
All three models have an IP65 protection rating.
Installation requirements vary according to power:
-
1500 W: horizontal wall or ceiling installation; minimum mounting height 1.8 m.
-
1800 W: horizontal wall or ceiling installation; minimum mounting height 1.8 m.
-
2200 W: horizontal wall installation only; minimum mounting height 2.1 m.
The mounting brackets are included. The appliance can be adjusted into several fixed positions to direct warmth towards the desired area.
A typical mounting height is approximately 2 to 3 metres. The safety clearances stated in the FRICO installation manual must always be respected.
Electrical connection and included equipment
The heaters are supplied with a 1.8-metre power cable and plug for connection to a suitable earthed socket.
Standard equipment includes the remote control and mounting brackets.
Available White/Silver models
All three versions have white glass, a silver housing, remote control and IP65 protection. Their main difference is the rated heating output.
