The Science of Infrared Heating
Infrared converts energy into electromagnetic radiation within the short-wave or medium-wave spectrum. When these waves strike an object or person, the energy is absorbed and converted into thermal energy.
Infrared heat travels in a straight line and is unaffected by draughts, it is the primary choice for spot heating in the following:
Zone Heating: In a large warehouse you can focus heat directly on people and objects.
Construction: Provide warmth in exposed work areas.
Automotive & Production: For bay doors that open often, infrared can provide reliable heat.
High Ceiling Locations: Energy is wasted by heating the dead space near the roof.
Portable vs. Fixed: Which is Right for You
As specialists, we offer a curated range to help find the right solution for you.
Portable Infrared Heaters: Heavy duty units for use on site. Wheeled units are ideal for moving between work zones.
Fixed Infrared Heaters: For permanent installation, ceiling mounted units maximise floor space.
Infrared for Surface Drying
Infrared heaters can be a useful tool for moisture control too. If you have had a leak or are dealing with heavy condensation, use infrared to accelerate evaporation.
We would not recommend this method when drying “wet trades” like new plaster or concrete. This can cause case hardening or cracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Short-wave and Long-wave infrared?
A: Short-wave provides immediate heat that can cut through wind. This makes them better for outdoors or draughty areas. Long-wave is best for enclosed spaces.
Q: Are they safe for long term exposure?
A: Yes. Infrared heaters operate in a safe frequency range, and they do not emit harmful UV rays. However, they should be placed at the manufacturer's recommended distance.
Q: How do I calculate the required wattage for my space?
A: Calculate the square footage of the workspace. We advise 250W-300W per square metre for industrial spot heating.
