The PureMate PM830 heater uses Micathermic technology to produce a consistent blanket of heat into the surrounding room warming up everything and everyone around it. Micathermic heaters are designed differently to convector and gas heaters due to the mica panel components inside. These panels do an incredible job at conducting heat and, thanks to their natural insulating properties; they make the PM830 one of the safest heaters to own. A huge advantage to having a mica heater like the PM830 is that it doesn’t just disperse heat in one direction alone; instead, it radiates heat in all directions warming the room more rapidly and more efficiently. This heater takes only 1 minute to reach full temperature and thus starts to warm the room very quickly.
