Heating technology is a complex subject with a wide range of options. In this article we compare the heating elements from Bromic, Phormalab and Heatsail and show you what they can — and cannot — do.

Bromic: the solution for every area

Bromic offers you a wide range of heaters, including electric and gas-powered models as well as various installation options such as ceiling-, wall- and flush-mounted radiant heaters. Mobile infrared heaters round off our range.

The following characteristics make this product something special:

  • Dimmable LED lighting is available on selected models and is ideal for creating the perfect mood.
  • The models are wind-resistant and withstand wind speeds of up to 20 km/h, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of warmth.
  • Radiant heat technology: targeted warmth that mimics the sun's natural rays, directly warming people and objects rather than the air.
  • Highly effective design: maximum warmth with minimal energy consumption for supreme comfort and efficiency.


The advantages are:

  • Our products are flexible and adapt to different room designs and needs.
  • Infrared heaters are particularly energy-efficient, as they use targeted radiant heat.
  • The products are extremely robust and reliable, even in windy conditions.


The drawbacks are:

  • The purchase costs are higher than for simpler heating solutions.
  • Installation can be complex depending on the model and location.

Phormalab: Italian design and functionality – that is our motto!

Phormalab combines high-quality Italian design with efficient heating technology. The Hotdoor® is a unique infrared radiant heater, designed for indoor and outdoor use and setting the standard in its class.

The following characteristics make this product something special:

  • Italian design at its finest! High-quality and stylish, created by designer Antonio Di Chiano.
  • Versatile use: perfectly suited to a wide range of settings such as hotels, restaurants, cafés, shops, wellness and SPA centres, gardens and even churches.
  • The choice is yours: various colour combinations and mounting options as a floor or wall lamp.
  • The efficient IR radiation warms the skin directly with the same warming radiation as the sun.
  • Environmentally friendly: technological efficiency combined with respect for the environment.

Installation and use:

The heaters and the additional component, the wireless receiver, are delivered separately and must be installed by a qualified electrician. The remote control lets you select three heat settings and switch the unit on and off.
