Heating using electromagnetic infrared rays has existed since the creation of the earth. Our greatest infrared heater is, of course, the sun, which radiates warmth even on an icy winter day.

Being hot or cold does not always depend on the temperature of the surrounding air. Skiers and snowboarders are not cold as long as the sun shines upon their bodies.

How does infrared heating work?

Infrared rays are invisible to the human eye. Infrared rays give off heat as our skin and clothes absorb the light. The difference is clearly noticeable when you are in the sun as opposed to the shade. The infrared rays keep you nice and warm.

Like the sun, infrared heating will heat objects, not the environment or the air. When infrared rays hit a surface, they release a certain amount of heat onto that surface regardless of the surrounding temperature. Most objects absorb this infrared heat and slowly give it back. The same, of course, applies to people.

Warm walls and a warm ceiling and floor provide a perfect thermal comfort that cannot be achieved with classic convection heat. Thanks to this natural way of heating, infrared heating saves a lot of energy.
