Mirage Curve Heat ‘n’ Light
|
Don’t let your barbecue or drinks party come to an abrupt end when the sun goes down. Invest in a gas powered heater to keep guests cosy and warm well into the early hours. There is an abundance of designs to choose from. From state-of-the-art patio heaters to rustic chimneas, there is no excuse for being left out in the cold.
Calor Alfresco offers a wide range of gas powered patio heaters, including the Mirage Curve Heat ‘n’ Light (£249) and the Enders Choice Table Top (£99), which can be used for a variety of gardens, big or small. The Mirage Curve Heat ‘n’ Light is ideal for keeping larger numbers of guests cosy and also benefits from an integral light. In contrast, the Enders Choice Table Top is perfect for smaller areas as its slender design enables it to sit neatly on top of a garden table.
To ensure that you don’t run out of gas at the crucial point during an evening, Calor has introduced an innovative Gas Trac® indicator on Patio Gas, which shows when the gas level in your Calor cylinder is running low.
Light relief
Good lighting can transform a garden by adding depth to hidden corners or creating points of interest within larger spaces. Whatever the desired atmosphere – calm and serene or lively and theatrical, Calor Alfresco’s Mirage Flame Torch (£135) will create just the right mood.
Fuelled by a 13kg Patio Gas cylinder, the Flame Torch is the ideal addition to the ultimate alfresco party, adding instant drama to any space. Contemporary hard landscapes and beautifully decked small spaces can all benefit from the effect of real flame lighting.
Cooking with confidence
And finally, choosing the right barbecue to complete your outdoor living space is essential. There are many different models on the market and deciding on which one to buy can be daunting.
Calor Alfresco suggests looking for the following when choosing your perfect barbecue.
- Style and design: Consider what will look best with the style of your garden – a sleek and contemporary style or a classic ‘Aussie’ style wooden design?
- Size: Will you be catering for large parties over the summer months or are you challenged by small space living and in need of a more compact model?
- Extras: Are you looking for gadgets and added extras, such as side burners or hot plates to sauté your onions, or additional racking to keep your barbecued food warm?
Calor Alfresco offers a wide range of gas powered barbecues, including the Royal 3 Roaster Plus, which is big enough to cater for over 10 people (£275) and the Weber Baby Q (£149), a mini portable gas barbecue that is ideal to take on picnics and for use in smaller gardens.
