The craft inside

01
Reflector Hood
A double-ply rolled-edge hood captures rising heat and redirects it downward in a 360° arc, creating a generous comfort zone around the tower rather than letting warmth escape straight up.
02
Borosilicate Glass
A full four-foot shatter-resistant borosilicate tube encases the flame column. It withstands extreme thermal cycles — from direct flame contact to sudden rain — without cracking or clouding.
03
Emitter
A 430-grade stainless steel emitter distributes flame evenly across the glass column. Engineered for sustained high-heat output in coastal environments without warping or discoloration.
04
Stainless Steel Panels
304-grade stainless steel lower-body panels resist salt-air corrosion and pitting. The patented latching door provides tool-free access to the burner assembly.
05
Marine Aluminum Frame
A marine-grade aluminum tower structure — rigid, rust-proof, and light enough to reposition without disassembly. The same alloy family used in yacht superstructures.

The Lava Lite

A slender 92-inch triangular flame tower delivering 56,000 BTU of 360° radiant warmth — the Lava Lite is the Positano collection's most adaptable workhorse.

Heat Coverage: 56,000 BTU output — 7′ radius (14′ diameter) — approximately 154 sq ft coverage zone.

A slender 92-inch triangular flame tower delivering 56,000 BTU of 360° radiant warmth — the Lava Lite is the Positano collection's most adaptable workhorse.

Italian Craftsmanship, Refined

The Lava Lite Patio Heater is named for the Italian craftsmen whose passion and precision shaped it. Its triangular silhouette is unmistakably Lava Heat Italia — a flame column that reads as architecture from a distance and as warmth up close.

Tuned for the Coastal Patio

A 56,000 BTU output spreads radiant warmth across a 7-foot radius — roughly 154 square feet of usable comfort. Five Clima-Comfort settings tune through a wireless remote, with digital ignition and a 12-hour run time on a concealed LP tank.

Clima-Comfort — What You Actually Feel

A patio heater's real value is what you feel when you're standing next to it. On a 50°F evening, the Lava Lite delivers approximately:

  • Within 2 feet: a felt warmth around 74°F — cozy and immediate, the intimate zone closest to the column.
  • Around 5 feet out: roughly 66°F — the conversational comfort zone where guests linger.
  • At 7 feet (the rated perimeter): about 60°F — the outer edge of warmth, still noticeably warmer than ambient air.
Radiant heat from a patio heater falls off rapidly as you move away — this is physics, not marketing. Position guests within the comfort zone for the best experience, and consider multiple units for larger gatherings. Wind, humidity, and surrounding architecture all affect real-world performance.

Italian Craftsmanship, Built to Last

The Lava Lite carries the discipline of Italian metalwork — each chassis hand-finished, each emitter precision-fit before assembly. Marine-grade 6061-T6 aluminum frame, 430-grade stainless emitter, shatter-resistant borosilicate glass column. Hammered Black, Heritage Bronze, and Stainless Steel finishes. 500-hour ASTM B117 certification and CSA compliance. Each Lava Lite is covered by our lifetime frame warranty, three years on parts, and one year on the burner. Parts only — labor is not included.

Where It Belongs

Specified across Forbes 5-star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and 50+ countries, the Lava Lite earns its keep on intimate residential patios as readily as it does on commercial terraces and event venues.
