Do you spend much time at the workshop? Whatever your trade may be whether your a plumber, joiner, carpenter, mechanic or DIY enthusiast I'm sure those cold winter days are starting to get to you. So we've decided to cover some of the markets current top and best recommended space and storage heaters that are ideal for the workshop!


Before we delve into more detail let's just stop and take a moment to think. If you're reading this with the intention of potentially purchasing a heater then you'll need to take into consideration the type of heater that you want. In this guide were going to cover electric heaters, infared heaters, fossil fuel & gas powered heaters (furnaces). Naturally the higher like most products the more you're willing to spend the better quality product you obtain right? Not necessarily in this case, it's best to decide which heater best suits your environment. For instance if you are looking for a heater to heat a household room then assume that the thermal heat capacity of a household room is alot greater in comparison to that of a workshop. Why? Well most modern homes have double glazing windows, insulated walls, thick carpets, curtain and furniture all which add to the overall thermal retention. A workshop on the other hand may have a large opening shutter, generally has cold concrete floors, little to no furniture and more than likely less well insulated. Other factors to consider is the size and shape of the room.

But not to worry well cover all you need to know about purchasing, helping you to select the right heater!
