When designing outdoor dining, hospitality, or residential spaces, architects, design-build firms, and business owners face practical challenges. Standard outdoor heaters can be bulky, struggle to perform in windy conditions, emit a distracting red glare, or require complex external control systems. To solve these issues, Superior Radiant Products is launching the SRP® mWAVE Series, a North American-built medium-wave electric infrared heater designed to balance a low-profile architectural design with weather-proof heating performance.
Following the release of our heavy-duty, industrial sWAVE POD Series, the mWAVE is designed for commercial patio applications where design aesthetics and heating performance are equally important. Whether you are heating a restaurant patio in Toronto, a rooftop lounge in New York, a casino patio in Las Vegas, or a residential deck in Vancouver, the mWAVE is engineered to provide reliable outdoor comfort.
Built for Performance: The Engineering Behind the SRP® mWAVE
The SRP® mWAVE Series delivers commercial outdoor heating by combining high thermal efficiency with smart connectivity options. Every design choice. from the internal components to the outer housing, is engineered to provide consistent radiant comfort to outdoor and hospitality spaces.
Here is how this electric infrared heater delivers practical value for your commercial projects:
-
Patented High-Efficiency Reflector Technology
At the core of the mWAVE’s performance is our patented high-efficiency reflector. Unlike standard polished aluminum reflectors, this design provides a focused radiant pattern and a uniform heat spread. By maximizing radiant delivery, it ensures that your energy investment translates directly into consistent warmth on the patio floor.
-
IP65 Weather-Sealed Housing for Demanding Climates
Outdoor commercial spaces require equipment that can withstand the elements without constant maintenance. The mWAVE features a fully sealed, IP65-rated weatherproof enclosure that offers protection against the elements. Approved for completely unsheltered outdoor use, it is built to endure demanding North American climates.
-
Low-Glare Ambiance for Professional Spaces
Dining and social spaces require heat that does not disrupt the guest experience. The mWAVE utilizes engineered low-glare medium-wave elements. This technology delivers deep, penetrating radiant warmth with reduced visible light glare, preserving the original lighting design of the space.
-
Smart App Integration & Zoning Controls
The mWAVE SMART Model features an integrated Wi-Fi module compatible with the TUYA Smart Ecosystem. This brings modern building management options straight to your smartphone. Users can manage their heating layouts via the TuyaSmart or Smart Life iOS/Android app, adjust comfort through 5 heat levels, set automated timers, and group multiple heaters into custom zones. It also integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the advantage of medium-wave infrared heating?
Unlike convection heaters that warm the surrounding air, medium-wave infrared heaters directly warm solid objects and people in their path. Medium-wave elements also offer a gentler, more comfortable heat profile compared to the high-glare “red light” of short-wave alternatives.
Is the mWAVE maintenance-free?
Yes. The mWAVE has no moving parts and does not require frequent bulb changes under regular operation. Its rugged, fully-sealed IP65 housing is built to perform year-round without demanding continuous upkeep.
Where are SRP® heaters manufactured?
