Questions people ask
Infrared heating UK FAQs
Useful answers for homeowners, landlords, developers and installers comparing infrared heating options.
What is infrared heating?
Infrared heating uses radiant heat to warm people, objects and surfaces directly, rather than relying only on moving warm air around the room.
Is iHelios infrared heating the same as infrared panels?
No. Infrared panels are usually visible wall or ceiling-mounted heaters. iHelios infrared heating film is designed to be integrated under suitable floors or above ceilings.
Can infrared heating film be used under floors?
Yes, infrared heating film can be used in suitable underfloor build-ups when installed correctly with the right floor type, insulation, controls and electrical design.

Yes. Ceiling installation is one of the strongest uses for invisible infrared heating film, especially where floors cannot be lifted.
Is infrared heating suitable for UK homes?
Yes, when correctly designed. It is especially useful in well-insulated homes, flats, garden rooms, rentals, modular buildings and projects where radiators or gas boilers are not ideal.
Does infrared heating work with solar panels and batteries?
