The present apparatus is a heat focusing reflector that can either be built in by the manufacturer of the heater or an add-on attachment that can be installed by an end user to allow these types of heaters to project more heat to further distances. The heat focusing reflector will block heat from traveling all around these types of heater and will instead focus and/or reflect all of the heat to travel toward one side of the heater. By redirecting heat from these heaters and focusing the heat to travel longer distances away from the heater, these heaters can become more efficient and functional as an outdoor space heater.
