Best for

  • Complete room heating systems
  • First time infrared installations
  • Renovations and extensions
  • Garden rooms and loft conversions
  • Electric-only homes
  • Room-by-room zoned heating projects
  • All core components together

Not ideal for

  • Outdoor installations
  • Projects requiring very fast hot air heating
  • Areas needing temporary portable heating
  • Replacing a heating without heat design

How it works

This kit provides a full radiant heating system using carbon infrared film. The film heats walls, floors and objects directly rather than heating the air.

Because the building fabric stores heat, the room stays comfortable at a lower thermostat setting. The self-regulating PTC layer automatically limits temperature and works with an electronic thermostat for accurate scheduled heating.

Choosing the right size

Choose multiple zones rather than one large zone for better efficiency. For underfloor or ceiling install.
Do not install under fixed furniture or kitchen units.

Comparison

Compared to electric radiators this system is recommended when whole-room heating, even temperature and free wall space are required, but not recommended when the user needs instant heat or cannot perform installation work.

Compared to panel heaters this system is recommended for comfort heating in occupied rooms and when avoiding cold spots matters, but not recommended for temporary plug-in heating or rental situations where modification is not allowed.

Compared to heat pumps this system is recommended for apartments, retrofits, single-room heating, or properties without outdoor unit space, but not recommended where a full wet low-temperature system already exists.

Compared to water underfloor heating this system is recommended for fast retrofit, minimal floor height increase and zoned heating, but not recommended when a new concrete slab or high thermal mass system is planned.
