SunStar 48-Inch 50,000 BTU Gas Infrared Patio Heater with Switch, Remote and Heat Shield and Fixed Mounting Kit
SunStar 48-Inch 50,000 BTU Gas Infrared Patio Heater with Switch, Remote and Heat Shield and Fixed Mounting Kit
| The SunStar GLASS SGL50 delivers 50,000 BTU (High) and 35,000 BTU (Low) of ceramic infrared radiant heat through a distinctive tinted glass face that provides industry-leading wind resistance up to 40 MPH. This complete package includes the SGL50 two-stage heater, a 3-position switch (High/Low/Off), and a heat shield with fixed mounting kit. Includes a wireless handheld remote control for convenient two-stage operation without walking to the switch. The high-temperature tinted glass face is the signature feature of SunStar GLASS - it shields the ceramic burner from wind while creating a sleek, modern appearance that blends into any architecture. Radiant infrared heat warms people, tables, chairs, and floors directly at floor level without heating the surrounding air, covering approximately 144+ sq. ft. in minimal wind conditions. With 43% more heating power than the SGL35, the SGL50 is designed for larger spaces, higher ceilings, and colder climates. The included heat shield reduces clearance to combustibles above the heater to as low as 10 inches, making this package ideal for installations with limited overhead clearance. The fixed mounting kit provides a secure horizontal or angled installation for 8 to 11 ft. mounting heights. Available in both natural gas and propane. Features 120 VAC electronic ignition - no low-voltage transformer required. Constructed from zinc-plated steel with high-temperature silicone powder-coated black paint. Made in the USA by SunStar Heating Products in Charlotte, North Carolina. |

The SunStar Advantage
| SunStar GLASS represents the next generation of overhead gas infrared patio heating, engineered from the ground up by a dedicated team in Charlotte, North Carolina. Here is what sets SunStar apart from every other overhead gas heater on the market: 40 MPH Wind-Resistant Tinted Glass Face: The defining feature of SunStar GLASS. A high-temperature tinted glass panel protects the ceramic burner from wind gusts up to 40 MPH - far exceeding the wind tolerance of open-face competitors like Sunpak or standard infrared heaters. The tinted glass also enhances the heater's visual appeal, creating a sleek, modern aesthetic that blends into upscale architecture. Two-Stage Output (Standard on Every Heater): Every SunStar GLASS heater ships factory-configured for two-stage operation. Start on High to warm a chilled patio quickly, then dial down to Low as guests get comfortable. This saves fuel and prevents overheating on milder evenings. Can also be jumpered for single-stage full-power operation. Ceramic Infrared Burner Technology: SunStar uses a ceramic burner that produces clean, efficient infrared radiant energy. Like the warming rays of the sun, infrared heat warms people, tables, chairs, and floors directly at floor level rather than wastefully heating the surrounding air. Versatile Mounting from 0 to 60 Degrees: SunStar heaters mount horizontally or at angles up to 60 degrees from horizontal, giving installers maximum flexibility to direct heat precisely into seating zones. Wall mount, ceiling mount, or pole mount configurations available. Electronic Ignition with 120 VAC: Standard 120V electrical connection powers the electronic ignition system - no low-voltage transformer required like competing brands. Simple, reliable, and easy for your electrician to wire. Weather-Resistant Construction: SGL models feature zinc-plated steel with high-temperature silicone powder-coated black paint. MGL marine grade models upgrade to 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in coastal and saltwater environments. Made in the USA: Proudly engineered and manufactured in Charlotte, North Carolina by SunStar Heating Products. |
Which SunStar Model Is Right For You?
|
SGL35 - Standard 35,000 BTU (Black): Two-stage output of 35,000 BTU (High) and 24,000 BTU (Low). Covers approximately 144 sq. ft. (12 x 12 ft.) in minimal wind conditions. Mounts at 7 to 10 ft. heights. The ideal choice for most residential and commercial patios. SGL50 - High Output 50,000 BTU (Black): Two-stage output of 50,000 BTU (High) and 35,000 BTU (Low). Designed for larger spaces and higher mounting heights of 8 to 11 ft. The SGL50 delivers 43% more heat than the SGL35, making it the best choice for open or exposed patios, higher ceilings, and colder climates. MGL35 - Marine Grade 35,000 BTU (316 Stainless Steel): Same performance as the SGL35 but built with 316 marine grade stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance. The premium choice for coastal properties, waterfront restaurants, poolside installations, and any environment with saltwater or chemical exposure. Adjustable Mount vs. Heat Shield + Fixed Mount: The adjustable mounting kit allows angle installation from 15 to 60 degrees with a 15 to 30 in. adjustable arm - ideal for angled ceiling beams and directing heat into specific seating zones. The heat shield with fixed mounting kit reduces clearance to combustibles above the heater to as low as 10 in. - ideal for low ceilings and tight overhead spaces. With Remote vs. Switch Only: All packages include a 3-position switch (High/Low/Off). Remote packages add a wireless handheld remote for convenient operation without walking to the switch. Best for residential use and areas where the switch is not easily accessible. |
