Dryflow Ostro Electric Convector Panel Heater 1kW

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Dryflow Ostro is a wall-mounted electric convector panel heater designed for commercial and hospitality spaces where consistent background warmth is needed without occupying floor space. It uses an X-shaped aluminium heating element to distribute heat evenly across the room, and its slim panel profile is intended to sit unobtrusively against the wall in guest-facing environments.
In practice, this heater suits spaces where heating runs on a predictable schedule rather than responding to high-demand peaks. It performs reliably in smaller to medium-sized rooms — guest bedrooms, waiting areas, treatment rooms, or office spaces — where steady ambient temperature is the priority rather than rapid heat recovery across a large volume.
From an operational standpoint, the Ostro offers several practical advantages for hospitality and commercial property managers:
- Fully programmable on a 24/7 schedule to align with occupancy patterns and business hours
- Choice between full power and a half-power energy-saving mode to help manage running costs
- Open window detection reduces unnecessary energy use when ventilation is introduced
- Child lock prevents unauthorised adjustment in public-facing areas
- Wall-mounted installation keeps floor space clear and the unit out of reach
Installation is straightforward — the unit is wall-mounted and supplied with a 1.5-metre power cord, giving some flexibility in positioning relative to the nearest socket. No specialist installation is typically required, though positioning should account for airflow around the unit and proximity to soft furnishings.
This model is well suited to smaller individual rooms or supplementary heating in compact commercial spaces. For larger open areas or rooms with higher heat-loss characteristics, a higher-output model would be more appropriate. If you are unsure which output is right for a particular space, we are happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is 1kW sufficient for a typical hotel guest room or waiting area?
A 1kW output is generally suitable for smaller well-insulated rooms, typically up to around 10–12 square metres depending on ceiling height and insulation quality. For larger rooms, rooms with poor insulation, or spaces with external walls and windows, a higher-output model is likely to be more appropriate. If you are unsure, it is worth considering the room's heat-loss characteristics before selecting an output.
Does the Ostro require a dedicated electrical circuit or professional installation?
The Ostro is supplied with a 1.5-metre power cord and connects to a standard socket outlet, so a dedicated circuit is not required for this output level. Wall mounting is straightforward, though fixings should be suitable for the wall construction. As with any electrical installation in a commercial or hospitality setting, it is worth confirming compliance with local electrical regulations.
How does the open window detection work in practice?
The open window detection monitors for a rapid drop in room temperature, which typically indicates a window or door has been left open. When detected, the heater reduces or pauses output to avoid heating an uncontained space, which helps prevent unnecessary energy consumption. It is a useful feature in guest rooms where windows may be left open without the heating being manually adjusted.
