Case Study: BRRN BARRE - From the UK to Jordan

Radiant Heat in Wellness Spaces: Inscape Amman’s IR-Powered Transformation

Inscape aimed to provide a high-end “hot room” experience to differentiate itself in the Jordan wellness market — delivering a consistent heated environment in which clients could flex, flow and sweat in comfort and style. Conventional air-based heating systems can struggle with rapid warm-up, even heat distribution and comfort in studio settings. A radiant heating solution was required to warm bodies and surfaces directly, enabling the “infrared heated” promise. The installation needed to suit Amman’s climate and studio design (ceiling heights, room zoning, class scheduling) and support both heated & non-heated class offerings so the facility could be flexible and efficient.

Challenge & Opportunity

Conventional air-based heating systems can struggle with rapid warm-up, even heat distribution and comfort in studio settings. A radiant heating solution was required to warm bodies and surfaces directly, enabling the “infrared heated” promise.

The installation needed to suit Amman’s climate and studio design (ceiling heights, room zoning, class scheduling) and support both heated & non-heated class offerings so the facility could be flexible and efficient.

Solution Provided by KIASA (UK)

Inscape installed a combination of ceiling-mounted infrared (IR) heating panels and infrared heater bars supplied by KIASA to meet the space and class-format requirements.

Ceiling panels mounted overhead deliver radiant heat from above, directly warming participants and surfaces, enabling faster warm-up for hot-room yoga/Pilates classes.
Infrared heater bars placed around the perimeter or targeted zones supplement the radiant coverage, ensuring even heat distribution and mitigating “cold spots” in hot classes.
The system was zoned: heated rooms (for hot yoga, “infrared heated” reformer/Pilates) and non-heated rooms (for standard Pilates/barre) allow efficient use of energy and tailored class environments.
The combination approach delivers high-performance radiant heat suited to fitness/wellness studio usage

Benefits & Key Features

For Inscape

Faster warm-up & consistent environment – Radiant IR heating warms surfaces and people rather than just air, allowing the hot studios at Inscape to hit target temperatures and maintain them effectively.

Energy efficiency & operational control – By using radiant rather than purely convection heat, the studio can manage running costs better and reduce heat-loss issues common with air-based systems.

Brand differentiation – The “infrared-heated studio” positioning gives Inscape a strong, unique selling point in the Amman market, especially attractive to women seeking a premium wellness experience.

Flexibility – The mix of heating panels and heater bars means the studio can tailor the room to its class style rather than one blanket solution.
