How does far infrared heat work?
So, how does far infrared heat work? Far Infrared Heating is a relatively new heating technology and is proving to be a great energy-efficient alternative.
It is the most basic form of heating known to man. Used by cavemen to heat themselves by fires; by Romans in their hypocausts, by log burners and tile stoves. Favoured for millennia because it heats objects, which then radiate back and keep the environment warm around you. Radiant heat does not heat the air – which holds little heat and disappears.
Far Infrared Heating works by providing radiant heat. This gives the same effect as standing in the sun on a cold day. Radiant heat works by heating people and objects, meaning you feel the benefit. This is a much more effective way of keeping people warm than air blower heaters, which only heat the air that quickly dissipates.
How does far infrared heating work for workplaces?
Far Infrared Heating technology is perfect for hard-to-heat areas and localized heating. This provides a subtle but direct heat without wasting energy heating the air. These technologies come in a range of power and style, meaning there is a type of heater to suit a large variety of workspaces.
A Far Infrared heater is completely safe and has no dangers, the infrared rays that are given out are the same non-damaging rays as that of the sun. It only harnesses the invisible infrared part of the light spectrum without the dangerous UV light.
In the last 60 years, we have forgotten about radiant heating: not because a better technology replaced it, but because fossil fuels that powered central heating made it so cheap to heat air.
Today, new technology, in the form of our 100% energy efficient far infrared heating panels, is allowing us to use radiant heating once more in a stylish, comfortable, and highly controllable way.
