Infrared heating is a modern and efficient heating method that is increasingly used in homes, commercial premises and industrial buildings. It works on the principle of emitting infrared radiation that directly heats objects, walls and people in the room, instead of heating the air as with conventional convection systems. As a result, infrared heating achieves higher energy efficiency and delivers a feeling of warmth that is more natural and comfortable.
Infrared panels are the basic element of infrared heating and come in a variety of designs, sizes and power ratings. These panels are installed on the wall or ceiling of a room, making it easy to integrate them into the interior. Modern infrared panels are designed to emit heat in the infrared spectrum, which is natural and safe for the human body. When installing, it is important to consider the placement and number of panels to ensure the room is evenly heated.
The infrared radiation used in these heating systems is similar to the heat given off by the sun. When it hits a surface (such as a floor, wall or furniture), the heat is absorbed and then slowly released back into the space, achieving a long-lasting heating effect. This principle creates a pleasant feeling of warmth even at lower air temperatures, which can reduce energy consumption by 20-30% compared to conventional heating systems.
One of the main benefits of infrared heating is the improvement of indoor air quality. Because the system does not directly heat the air and cause it to circulate, dust and allergens do not swirl around, which is especially appreciated by allergy and asthma sufferers. This method of heating also does not remove moisture from the room, reducing the risk of drying out the air, which is typical of convection heating. The result is a pleasant and healthy microclimate.
Compared to traditional heating systems, infrared heating is also long-lasting and low-maintenance. Infrared panels contain no moving parts or mechanisms, which means they are not susceptible to wear and tear and do not require regular servicing. As a result, they have a long service life, which can reach up to 30 years, reducing long-term running costs.
