Finished in copper-effect steel, it sits above the pass or servery counter and uses heat bulbs to gently warm food from above without drying it out or affecting presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice, this type of heat shade is commonly found at the pass in restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and function catering operations where a small number of covers need to be held at temperature between the kitchen and the front-of-house team collecting them. It is not intended for high-volume batch holding — its role is to bridge the gap between plating and service, keeping individual dishes ready without overcooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe retractable cord mechanism allows the shade to be raised or lowered to the appropriate height above the food, which is useful when the height of service dishes or cloches varies. When the pass is not in active use, the shade can be switched off independently to avoid unnecessary heat and energy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable height suits varying plate and cloche profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction with copper-effect finish — practical and presentable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple on\/off switch reduces energy use during quiet periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraightforward to wipe down and keep clean during service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a competent electrician — this is a suspended fitting rather than a plug-in appliance. Heat bulbs are not included and will need to be sourced separately, so it is worth confirming bulb type before installation. The copper finish works well in open kitchen or bar-style pass setups where presentation at the counter matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shade is well suited to smaller restaurants, bistros, and event catering operations with a modest pass. For busier operations holding larger volumes across a longer pass run, a multi-lamp gantry system may be a more practical fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether this style of heat shade suits your pass setup or service flow, our team is happy to talk it through with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buffalo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833930600765,"sku":"DY463","price":79.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/32afdc196dd03040aaaff8e471ad8d3f.jpg?v=1692696826"},{"product_id":"buffalo-conical-retractable-heat-shade-silver-finish","title":"Buffalo Conical Retractable Heat Shade Silver Finish","description":"250W.
