Infrared heating works by emitting far infrared waves that directly heat people, objects, and surfaces before warming the air. Imagine the heat from sunlight on a warm day, this warmth is trapped in objects and surfaces like your walls and your sofa and slowly released. This method reduces heat loss and improves efficiency.

What is Infrared Heating?

Infrared heating uses the same natural warmth as the sun, gently warming people and objects directly before heating the air around them. This creates an instant, deeply comfortable heat that’s absorbed and slowly released by surfaces.

Natural Heat

Infrared heat feels like sunlight

Our infrared panels emit a radiant heat that is safe, natural, and similar to the feeling of sunlight on a warm day. No stuffy atmosphere.

Efficiency

42% more efficient than convection

Infrared panels heat objects and surfaces before heating the air, reducing energy consumption whilst maintaining a consistent temperature.

Zoned Heating

Only heat areas that are actually in use

Infrared panels enable targeted room-by-room heating, helping to avoid wasting energy on heating unoccupied areas of the property.

Is Infrared Heating Safe?

Infrared heating is completely safe. It has been used across Europe for decades, particularly in countries known for their innovative and efficient energy solutions, such as Austria and Switzerland.

Far infrared radiation is a natural form of heat, similar to the warmth you feel from the sun, but without the harmful ultraviolet rays. It’s also worth noting that infrared heating is used in baby incubators, where the safety and well-being of infants is a top priority, further demonstrating its safety.

Rest assured that infrared heating is not only safe, but also offers several health benefits. Infrared heaters emit infrared radiation, which is naturally emitted by the sun and even our own bodies. This is totally safe and isn’t to be confused with UltraViolet (UV) radiation. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero will emit a degree of infrared radiation, so this is nothing to worry about.

Far Infrared Vs Near Infrared

Near Infrared Vs Far Infrared

Far Infrared

So Near Infrared Vs Far Infrared, what's the difference? Far infrared heating is specifically designed for indoor environments. Unlike near infrared, it doesn’t glow and works through a “ping pong effect,” where the infrared waves bounce off walls, floors, and objects to distribute heat evenly throughout the room. This ensures consistent warmth across the entire space, eliminating cold spots and creating a comfortable indoor environment. Far infrared heating is particularly suited for homes and workplaces because it can heat larger areas efficiently, maintain a steady temperature, and provide a cosy, natural warmth without the intense heat of near infrared systems.

Near Infrared

Near infrared heating, like the glowing heaters you often see on outdoor terraces or in smoking areas, emits visible light and is perfect for providing targeted heat to specific areas. It works by directly warming objects or people within its line of sight, which makes it effective for short-term or outdoor use but less practical for larger indoor spaces.
