With 40 years experience of heating the nation, Creda has just re-launched its extensive portfolio of commercial space heating appliances. The emphasis is on energy efficiency, reliable performance and convenience across all ranges and the entire portfolio is backed with comprehensive technical and design support services.

A wide selection of proven favourites ensures that there is plenty of choice for commercial, industrial and warehousing applications, retailers, churches and halls, and open air patio use.

Warm air heating is provided through the TSF Turbo commercial fan storage heater range, the 3kW SolFan high level fan heater for smaller commercial applications, and SolScreen warm air curtains.

Rated from 3.4kW to 5.7kW, the TSF turbo range provides controlled output space heating with maximum economy and flexibility. Up to 40 per cent of the total stored heat is retained after 17 hours, allowing the thermostatically controlled two-speed centrifugal fan to deliver rapid and uniform heat. The two SolScreen models rated at 3kW and 4.5kW, can be fitted inside open entrances to give welcoming warm air flows.

SolTube tubular heaters deliver efficient gentle background warmth and are good for window demisting and horticultural use in green houses and conservatories. Outputs range from 60-260W. Four lengths and loadings are offered, complete with universal mounting brackets for floor or wall fixing, 1.5 metres of white cable and a fitted plug. Guards are available for added security in schools, hospitals or care homes.

Where wall-mounted or ceiling hung radiant heaters are required for larger commercial buildings and factories, Creda's 2kW and 3kW SolSlim models offer a low cost and easy to install solution. Tilt mounting allows the heat to be localised or directed to a specific area, making these heaters highly flexible in use. The SolSlim models are light weight, robust and corrosion resistant with chrome plated steel guards and anodised aluminium reflectors.

Creda's commercial space heating portfolio is completed with long and short wave radiant heater ranges. These comprise the SolQuartz short wave infra-red radiant heaters, SolWave long wave infra-red heaters and the SolSlim commercial radiant heaters with tilt mounting so that heat can be localised or directed to a general area in larger commercial or industrial premises.

SolQuartz short wave infra-red radiant heaters are up to 90 per cent efficient in converting electricity into energy. Absolutely silent in operation, they deliver both long range heat projection and an instant sensation of warmth with a visible glow at switch-on. They are rated at 1.5kW, 3kW and 4.5kW.

SolWave long wave infra-red heaters provide highly efficient space heating without any glow. Their dual ceramic emitters rapidly convert electrical energy into heat without producing light; and are virtually maintenance free. They are rated at 2kW, 3kW and 4.5kW for commercial and industrial applications requiring glare-free heat.
