Dryflow Ostro Electric Convector Panel Heater 2kW
£87.86(£105.43 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Dryflow Ostro is a wall-mounted electric convector panel heater designed for indoor commercial and hospitality spaces where reliable, controllable background heat is needed. It uses an X-shaped aluminium heating element to circulate warm air evenly across the room, and its slim panel format means it sits flush against the wall without taking up floor space or obstructing walkways.
In practice, this type of heater suits spaces that need consistent ambient warmth rather than rapid high-volume heat recovery — hotel rooms, office suites, reception areas, staff break rooms, and similar environments where occupancy is predictable and the heating requirement is steady. The half-power setting allows the unit to maintain temperature between periods of peak demand without running at full output continuously, which helps keep running costs in check over the course of a working day.
Several built-in features make it practical for managed or public-facing environments:
- 24/7 programmable timer to align heating with opening hours and avoid unnecessary overnight running
- Open window detection that reduces output automatically when a sudden temperature drop is sensed
- Child lock to prevent accidental adjustment in public or guest-facing spaces
- Half-power mode for cost-efficient temperature maintenance
- 1.5 metre power cord allowing flexible positioning relative to wall sockets
Installation is straightforward — the unit is designed for wall mounting and runs from a standard mains supply, so no specialist electrical work is typically required beyond a suitable fixing point and socket placement. It is worth confirming the wall surface and stud layout before mounting, particularly in older or partitioned commercial buildings where fixing points may be limited.
The Ostro is well suited to smaller or medium-sized rooms in hotels, offices, and hospitality venues where a discreet, programmable heating solution is needed. It is not intended for industrial or high-humidity environments such as commercial kitchens or laundry areas. If you need to heat a larger or open-plan space, a higher-output model or multiple units may be more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this heater is the right fit for your space or layout, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Is this heater suitable for use in a commercial kitchen or food preparation area?
No — the Ostro is designed for dry indoor environments such as offices, hotel rooms, and reception areas. Commercial kitchens and food preparation spaces present humidity, grease, and temperature extremes that this unit is not rated for. For those environments, a purpose-built catering-grade heating solution would be more appropriate.
What size room is this heater suitable for?
As a general guide, a 2kW convector heater is typically suited to rooms up to around 20 square metres with standard ceiling heights and reasonable insulation. In poorly insulated or larger spaces it may struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures on its own, and a higher-output unit or multiple heaters should be considered.
Does the heater require any specialist installation or electrical work?
The Ostro runs from a standard 13-amp mains socket and is designed for straightforward wall mounting, so specialist electrical installation is not normally required. You will need a suitable fixing surface and a conveniently located socket within reach of the 1.5 metre cord — it is worth checking both before purchasing.
