Marine-Grade Patio Heaters for Coastal Canada: Built to Withstand the Elements
Coastal living in Canada comes with unmatched beauty — ocean views, salty breezes, and the joy of outdoor gatherings nearly year-round. But it also brings one persistent challenge: corrosion.
Salt air, humidity, and wind can wear down even the toughest outdoor materials. That’s why Signature Radiant offers Marine-Grade patio heaters — engineered to perform flawlessly and look stunning in the most demanding climates.
Our two best-in-class options are the Infratech Marine-Grade Upgrade and the Bromic Platinum Electric Marine Series.
Why Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Matters
Standard outdoor heaters are typically built from 304 stainless steel — strong, but not immune to salt-air corrosion.
316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel adds molybdenum, dramatically improving resistance to pitting and rust in marine and humid environments.
That extra protection makes all the difference for homes and venues along the Atlantic coast, Vancouver Island, or the Gulf of St. Lawrence — keeping your heater beautiful and functional season after season.
Infratech Marine-Grade Upgrade
Effortless durability and architectural elegance
Engineered in California, Infratech’s Marine UpGrade models are crafted from 316 stainless steel for unmatched endurance against saltwater, humidity, wind, and cold — without compromising on design.
These fully electric infrared heaters deliver silent, odor-free radiant warmth, heating people and surfaces directly for outstanding comfort and energy efficiency.
Available in the C/CD Series and W/WD Series, they can be surface-mounted or recessed to blend seamlessly with luxury residential patios, boutique hotels, or waterfront restaurants.
Decorative Motif covers and flush-mount frames are also offered in 316 stainless steel, ensuring cohesive protection and a timeless look.

Bromic Platinum Electric Marine Series
Luxury redefined for coastal environments
For those seeking a statement piece that pairs architectural beauty with high performance, the Bromic Platinum Marine Series stands out.
Constructed from AISI 316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel, these heaters combine refined luxury with the durability required for life by the sea. Their sleek, fully enclosed body protects internal components, while the ceramic-glass screen provides even heat distribution with minimal light emission — a signature Bromic hallmark.
Available in 3400 W and 4500 W power levels, in black or white finishes, and compatible with wall, ceiling, or recessed installations, the Platinum Marine Series elevates any upscale space — from modern residences to ocean-view terraces and yacht clubs.

FAQ
1. What makes a heater “Marine-Grade”?
Marine-Grade heaters use 316 stainless steel, offering far greater corrosion resistance than standard 304 steel — ideal for salt, moisture, and harsh weather.
2. Do I really need a Marine-Grade heater near the ocean?
Within 5–10 km of saltwater, corrosion can appear quickly on standard finishes. Marine-Grade models ensure long-term reliability.
3. Can Marine-Grade heaters be recessed into the ceiling?
Absolutely. Both brands offer flush-mount kits that preserve a clean, modern aesthetic while maintaining proper airflow and safety clearances.
4. Are they energy-efficient?
Yes. Both use infrared radiant heat, warming people and surfaces directly rather than wasting energy heating the air.
5. How do I maintain a Marine-Grade heater?
Simple routine cleaning with fresh water and a soft cloth helps prevent salt buildup and keeps your heater looking new.
