Infrared heating for commercial projects, refurbishments and flexible spaces
Commercial buildings are changing.
Gas is being phased out, occupancies are becoming less predictable, and businesses increasingly expect every part of a space to support the experience they want to create on a zonal basis.
Whether you are replacing existing heating, converting a building or planning for changing occupancy, KIASA helps you choose the right products, layout and controls for how the building will operate — from a straightforward individual area to a coordinated multi-zone project.
One building can serve several purposes
Meeting rooms, shared workspaces, training areas and event spaces may follow different hours or change use throughout the week.
Heating every part of the building in the same way, at the same time, rarely reflects how it actually operates.
Why are businesses
choosing infrared now
From offices and warehouses to retail and hospitality, businesses are choosing infrared to create heating systems that are more efficient, flexible and fit for modern commercial spaces. At the same time they are saving money on wasted energy whilst moving towards sustainability and low carbon emissions.
Heating planned around the building and desired project outcomes
Infrared can be specified as a complete replacement, a phased refurbishment or a targeted upgrade. Installed without adding boilers or water-filled pipework, it can be positioned around occupied areas, while suitable controls allow rooms or groups of heaters to follow their own operating patterns.
Explore Flexible Heating for Multi-Use Spaces- Replace ageing gas heating with an all-electric alternative
- Heat occupied spaces rather than entire buildings
- Control individual rooms or zones independently
- Adapt to changing layouts and occupancy
- Reduce ongoing maintenance requirements
- Create a cleaner, design-led finish
Heating from small individual spaces to complete commercial projects
Some requirements can be resolved with a single panel or heater bar. Others involve several areas, coordinated controls, electrical planning or a phased installation. KIASA provides an appropriate route for both.
Heating for an Individual Room or Area
KORE P-Series panels and heater bars are available online for self-contained requirements. Panels provide discreet wall or ceiling-mounted warmth, while heater bars deliver stronger radiant output for larger or higher-ceiling spaces.

Heating for refurbishments and multiple areas
For conversions, phased refurbishments or buildings requiring several heaters, KIASA Projects can support product selection, layouts, controls and electrical planning around the wider building requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most commercial environments, yes. Whether you're replacing a complete heating system or taking a phased approach, we'll help you assess whether infrared is the right solution for your building and refurbishment plans.
Replacing gas removes on-site combustion, reducing carbon emissions, whilst independent zoning gives businesses greater control over where and when energy is used. We can also provide supporting documentation for BREEAM, landlord approvals and wider project requirements.
Yes. Individual rooms, floors or areas can be introduced in stages, provided the retained heating, final electrical load and overall control strategy are planned together. Installation can often be phased around access and operating requirements, helping reduce disruption while different areas of the building are upgraded.
Yes. For qualifying projects, we can review drawings, room information, proposed uses, ceiling heights, heat-loss data and electrical information to support product layouts, loads and controls.
Ideally, before ceiling layouts, electrical circuits and controls are finalised. Early involvement allows heater positions, power requirements and cable routes to be coordinated with the wider project.
Planning a Commercial Heating Project?
Whether you're planning a refurbishment, replacing an ageing heating system or preparing a commercial building for the future, we'll help you understand whether infrared is the right solution for your project.
Our UK-based specification team will recommend the most appropriate system, provide practical guidance on layouts, controls and installation, and support you from initial specification through to project completion.
