How Does Infrared Heating Work?

As infrared is a totally natural heat that warms objects, our panels work by emitting IR waves that warm your walls, furniture, and you. The energy is absorbed and then re-emitted back out into the room, giving you a direct, soothing heat.

What Is Thermal Mass?

A thermal mass refers to a material’s ability to absorb, store and then release warmth. Typically, building materials have a higher thermal mass so that your home can retain heat. With infrared, all the objects in your room will radiate heat, and help contribute to keeping your warm home. This ensures your heater doesn’t need to work as hard.

This process turns your whole room into one big radiator

Infrared Heating VS Convection

Whereas convection heaters warm up the air in your room, infrared panels make the objects in a room warm instead. This means that you’re directly receiving the warmth, rather than receiving it through the air, which is more efficient and healthier too.
