Thermal or infrared radiation enables us to detect heat signatures emitted by objects and observe them even in darkness. It plays a crucial role in various fields, including night vision technology, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring.

The Basics

Infrared heating is the latest and newest in technology to keeping your home or office warm.

Conventional heaters such as oil-filled heaters, storage heaters and even boiler systems use air to move heat around the room. Since hot air rises, heat manages to escape from your homes, which means you would have to keep the heater on for longer periods of time to maintain a certain degree of heat. Not only this, but it creates a stuffy environment giving you respiratory issues and scratchy eyes. Infrared heaters use invisible light to heat up humans, pets and objects within a room, minimising heat loss completely while also improving your health and creating a humid-free environment. The heat (light) bounces from surface to surface and keeps the heat within your home. Since it is radiant heating, the rays reach in more areas which gradually reduces cold spots within the room.

Convection Heating vs Infrared Heating

Far infrared (FIR) heating and near infrared (NIR) heating are two distinct types of infrared heating technologies, each with its own characteristics and applications.

Far Infrared Heating (FIR):
1. Far infrared radiation has longer wavelengths, which make them ideal for indoor or sheltered areas. They typically range from around 3 to 1000 micrometres.
2. FIR heaters emit lower frequency infrared waves that penetrate deeper into the skin and tissues, providing a gentle and comfortable warmth.
3. FIR heating is often used in applications such as saunas, therapy sessions, and heating pads. It's also used in some industrial processes for drying and curing materials.
4. It's known for its therapeutic benefits, including improved blood circulation, pain relief, and relaxation.

Near Infrared Heating (NIR):
1. Near infrared radiation has shorter wavelengths, typically ranging from around 0.7 to 3 micrometres.
2. NIR heaters emit higher frequency infrared waves that don't penetrate as deeply as FIR waves but are more readily absorbed by the skin's surface.
3. NIR heating is used in various applications, including physiotherapy, skincare, and heating for industrial processes like drying coatings and paint.
4. NIR therapy is believed to have benefits such as stimulating collagen production, promoting wound healing, and improving skin complexion.

10 REASONS TO INVEST IN IR HEATING

The first question most people ask is why they should invest in IR heating when they need additional heating, or they are considering a complete change of heating technology. Here are just 10 reasons to invest.

1. Simple plug-and-play installation
2. Cost-effective
3. Instant heat
4. More than just ‘white space’
5. Slimline and unobtrusive
6. Tactical, portable, task-focussed
7. Improved air quality
8. Task-focussed zone heating
9. Eco friendly
10. Smart wi-fi facility
