Outdoor Heaters Built by Kiwis for NZ Conditions
Introducing the only NZ-made infrared heating solution. The first outdoor patio heater built using 316 marine-grade stainless steel. Built tough to withstand our salt-laden air.
Infrared Patio Heaters Purpose Built for NZ
Kelray Outdoor Heating was founded out of a need for a more durable outdoor heating solution. Dissatisfied with the outdoor heating products on the market at the time, we set out to produce a new generation of NZ outdoor heaters. Kelray Heaters are purpose built for NZ conditions, specifically, our salt-laden air.
With much of the country being coastal, outdoor products are subject to a much harsher environment than in other countries. Unfortunately, overseas-made outdoor heaters do not account for NZ-specific conditions and use a lower grade of stainless steel than is required. This leaves them prone to rapid deterioration, discolouration, and rust.
Kelray Heaters are the first outdoor patio heaters built with marine grade stainless steel. Perfect heaters for the garden, gazebo or deck, Kelray Heaters transform any outdoor space into a cozy, welcoming environment.

Why We Only Use Marine Grade Stainless Steel.
Most would assume that stainless steel means just that - stainless! Unfortunately for NZ consumers, this is not the case.
Stainless steel comes in many different grades. The most common grade used in outdoor heaters is 304 grade. While this is sufficient in some regions, it is prone to rust in saline environments, like coastal cities. New Zealand is a nation of coastal settlements. This means 304 grade products deteriorate with prolonged outdoor use. All overseas-made outdoor heaters use the cheaper 304 grade.
Kelray exclusively uses 316 marine-grade stainless steel in the construction of our patio heaters. 316 includes addition of higher quantities molybdenum. Molybdenum drastically enhances corrosion resistance in exposed environments.
New Zealand’s longest warranty for an outdoor heater
We believe our range of NZ made outdoor heaters are the most durable heaters around. This is why all Kelray heaters are backed by a huge five-year warranty for the heater and a one-year warranty on the elements. This far eclipses the industry standard for outdoor patio heaters in NZ and is our commitment to the quality of our product.
