Infrared heaters: Efficient and even heat distribution

Infrared heaters, including infrared heating foils and infrared heating mats, are a modern and efficient method of generating heat indoors. Unlike conventional heating systems, which are based on convection (air circulation), infrared heaters work by emitting infrared radiation, similar to the heat of the sun. This approach has a number of advantages and makes infrared heaters a popular choice for heating homes, offices and other buildings. Manufacturers now even offer elegant designs for end customers – including customization with your own photos or as natural stone.

How do infrared heaters work?

Infrared heaters, or infrared heating foils and infrared heating mats, generate heat by emitting infrared radiation that hits objects and surfaces in the room. These surfaces absorb the radiation and emit it as heat into the surrounding air. In contrast, traditional convection heating heats the air in the room, causing it to rise and spread. This often leads to uneven temperatures and energy losses.

Advantages of infrared heaters:

✔ Energy efficiency: Infrared heaters are known for their energy efficiency. As they heat the objects and surfaces in the room rather than the air, the heat is stored where it is needed. This minimizes heat loss and reduces energy consumption.

✔ Healthy heat: The radiant heat from infrared heaters is similar to natural solar heat and is often perceived as particularly pleasant. It does not dry out the air and does not stir up dust particles, which improves air quality and is beneficial for allergy sufferers.

✔ Quick heating: Infrared heaters heat rooms quickly as they do not require any lead times to heat the air in the room. You can feel the heat as soon as you switch them on.

✔ Flexible installation: Infrared heaters are available in various shapes and sizes. They can be installed on walls, ceilings or even on the floor, which increases design freedom when decorating a room.

✔Low maintenance: Infrared heaters generally require little to no maintenance. There are no moving parts or water pipes that require maintenance.

✔ Zonal heating: With infrared heaters, you can heat individual rooms or areas independently of each other, which improves control over heating costs.

✔ Elegant designs: The standard white is history. Infrared heaters can now be visually customized, whether with your own photos, as natural stone, mirror heating, monochrome and more. As a result, the heater blends in perfectly with the room design and is no longer noticeable as such.

Applications of infrared heaters:

Infrarotheizungen finden in verschiedenen Anwendungen Verwendung, darunter:

✔ Homes: They are an efficient alternative to conventional heating systems and can be installed in living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms.

✔ Commercial and offices: Infrared heaters are popular in offices, conference rooms and stores as they provide effective zone heating.

✔ Outdoor areas: Outdoor infrared heaters are ideal for patios, conservatories and other outdoor areas to make them usable all year round.

✔ Heat theaters for sports facilities: Infrared heaters are also used in sports stadiums and training facilities to keep athletes and spectators warm during cold months.

✔ Mobile use: Infrared heaters are ideal for use on the move. If you are looking for a cost- and space-saving alternative for your caravan or need cozy warmth on your boat, you’ve come to the right place.
