SunStar's SGL series answers the two questions that kill commercial heater deals: 'what about wind?' (rated to 40 mph) and 'what will the fire marshal say?' (enclosed burner, no open flame).
Who it's for. Exposed patios, coastal and high-wind sites, and jurisdictions where open flame gets flagged.
What it does well. Enclosed-burner infrared rated to 40 mph wind. It answers the two questions that kill commercial heater deals: "what about wind?" and "what will the fire marshal say?"
Where it fits. Rooftops, coastal restaurants, and open patios — anywhere conditions rule out ordinary heaters.
What each model is for, in plain language.
Enclosed-burner infrared, wall or ceiling mount. 8x8 ft coverage in high wind, 12x12 ft in calm conditions.
Horizontal to 60° tilt — aim heat at seating, not the sky.
Fuel options. Gas-fired infrared — confirm fuel against your infrastructure when you request a quote.
Mounting options. Wall or ceiling mount, tilting from horizontal to 60° — aim the heat at seating, not the sky.
Important clearances. Clearances per manufacturer spec — confirmed on your heating plan, especially in tight spaces or strict jurisdictions.
Different patios need different heaters. Here's where I'd spec SunStar — and where I'd honestly point you at something else.
Tell me about the site — wind exposure, mounting options, any jurisdiction concerns — and I'll tell you if SunStar is the right call.

What working with this equipment actually teaches you.
Enclosed burner, no exposed flame. In strict jurisdictions where open-flame heaters get flagged, SunStar changes the conversation.
8'×8' coverage in high wind, 12'×12' when calm. If your patio catches the afternoon wind, this is the engineering answer.
Every SunStar carries its full factory warranty, with claims handled through us directly.
Some jurisdictions and insurers treat open-flame heaters differently. An enclosed burner removes the objection before it's raised.
Rated to 40 mph — that's the spec that matters on exposed patios. Coverage drops in wind, so we size accordingly.
The SGL series is gas-fired infrared. We'll confirm fuel against your infrastructure.
