Infrared Heating

German-British astronomer Sir William Herschel is credited with the discovery of infrared in 1800. He made an instrument called a spectrometer to measure the magnitude of radiant power at different wavelengths. This instrument was made from three pieces. The first was a prism to catch the sunlight and direct and disperse the colors down onto a table, the second was a small panel of cardboard with a slit wide enough for only a single color to pass through it and finally, three mercury-in-glass thermometers. Through his experiment Herschel found that red light had the highest degree of temperature change in the light spectrum, however, infrared heating was not commonly used until World War II. During World War II infrared heating became more widely used and recognized. The main applications were in the metal finishing fields, particularly in the curing and drying of paints and lacquers on military equipment. Banks of lamp bulbs were used very successfully but by today’s standards, the power intensities were very low. The technique offered much faster drying times than the fuel convection ovens of the time. Production bottlenecks were mitigated and military supplies to the armed forces were maintained. After World War II the adoption of infrared heating techniques continued but on a much slower basis. In the mid 1950s the motor vehicle industry began to show interest in the capabilities of infrared for paint curing and a number of production line infrared tunnels came into use.

7 Reasons To Choose Infrared

1. Heats Objects, Not The Air

Infrared heating warms you and your home directly. This is a much more effective way to produce comfortable warmth than conventional heating systems which only heat the air. The temperature of the air is not important for keeping warm – think of skiers sunbathing in the snow on sunny days! Infrared heaters heat like the sun: warming you, your furniture and the very fabric of your home – producing a comfortable, lasting warmth throughout the room.

2. Natural Heat

Infrared heating is 100% natural – it’s the form of heat we emit when we’re warm and absorb when we’re cold. Infrared heat feels like sunlight on a winter’s day, or the glow of an open fire, or the warmth we feel when we sit close to other people. Our bodies absorb infrared more easily than any other form of heat.

3. Reduced Energy Use

Unlike central heating systems, infrared does not waste energy heating air which loses heat through draughts and circulation. Infrared heats objects – which retain heat and radiate it back into the room, making your home a 360 degree heater. This means you don’t waste energy topping up lost heat and you can set your thermostat 3-5 degrees lower than conventional heating systems. Our heaters are also almost 100% efficient when they convert electricity to heat. They can save you 30-60% off annual heating bills compared to using traditional gas, oil or electric heating systems!

4. No Carbon Emissions

Our heaters do not produce carbon emissions. When used with electricity generated from a sustainable source, they’re one of the few truly green heating systems on the market.

5. Maintenance Free

Infrared heaters use solid state elements and require absolutely no maintenance. Unlike heating systems which rely on liquid elements, moving parts or internal combustion, they do not require servicing, inspection or repair and boast exceptionally long lifespans. Our heaters are certified to national health and safety standards.

6. Keeps Damp At Bay

Because infrared heaters warm the very fabric of the house, they ensure your walls stay dry. This prevents your walls accumulating condensation and developing damp, mould, dry rot or flaking paintwork.

7. Style

Infrared heating panels are ultra-slimline and come with almost limitless design options. Browse our site for mirror panels, picture panels, panels with towel rails, glass panels, customisable panels and weather resistant heaters for outdoor use.

Benefits of Infrared Heating

For commercial premises infrared heating provides a quick and easy to install solution for keeping business spaces warm.
Reduced costs compared to other, fossil fuel systems helps commercial concerns operate in a more efficient and carbon friendly way.
When linked with technology such as solar panels it can help to reduce costs further.
Non-domestic premises can benefit by taking advantage of the Green Deal to fund upgrades to existing technology such as infrared heating.
For businesses like shops or offices, infrared heating panels blend well with the décor and can be found in a range of different designs including glass, mirror and printed pictures.
Quicker heating because infrared warms up solid objects rather than the air means you don’t have to wait for a room or office to heat up as you do with convection systems.
