Depending on your needs and the characteristics of the site, there are different types of specialized heaters for building work. You’ll find our advice in this article. Don’t forget Polypoles when it comes to heating rentals!
Heating systems to suit your needs
✅ Fan heaters / electric heaters
Quick and easy to install, emission-free, ideal for interiors, workshops, closed or semi-open spaces. Up to several hundred kW available, depending on the size of the space. Advantages: mobility, simplicity, rapid temperature rise, low maintenance.
✅ O il-fired heaters (furnaces, mobile heaters)
When the site is large, outdoors, or the volumes large, these powerful units provide fast, stable heat, even in difficult conditions. Advantages: high power, autonomy, efficiency even in extreme cold, no need to depend on the mains.
✅ Complementary solutions (dehumidifiers, infrared heaters, mobile boilers)
Polypoles also offers specific equipment such as dehumidifiers or infrared heaters, useful for drying, occasional comfort, or in particular contexts (humidity, sensitive materials, etc.). These solutions enable humidity to be controlled, drying to be accelerated, or local heating to be provided without the need for massive heat sources.
