Infrared heat panels

Infrared heat panels or heating plates are designed to remove water and moisture from walls quickly and gently, using infra-red heat to perfectly dry to a precise point. As stand alone, or wall mounted units, infrared heat panels are commonly uses in all types of buildings for restoration work, or for tackling water damage. They can also be used to dry building materials, or heat on-site trailers.

Why choose infrared heat panels?

When water enters a property, it can quickly tarnish furniture, seep into walls, and saturate hard-to-reach areas with water. This can cause materials to swell, degrade and rot, while also encouraging the growth of mould and mildew throughout a space.

The presence of excess moisture inside structures can also present a health risk for residents and occupants. Water can contain harmful bacteria, mould spores can cause respiratory illness to flare, and humid environments can become uncomfortable to inhabit.

To remove moisture from properties, infrared heaters are the ideal solution, as these panels work to produce radiant heat – a penetrative warming similar to that of the sun. Positioned in front of problem areas, these systems can effectively dry objects or surfaces directly.

This technology differs from gas or electric heaters, as these more conventional solutions heat the air itself. While optimal for whole-room heating, warm air can trap moisture within surfaces and slow the water damage restoration process.

Wall-mounted infrared panel heaters, then, represent one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to heat and dry a space. Able to deliver their heat energy quickly, directly and with precision, this technology works to keep energy wastage and operating costs to a minimum.

When taking appropriate precautions, these types of electric heating systems are also exceptionally safe to use. Harnessing the same type of heat energy as the sun, radiant heat presents no health risks to workers or residents.

Our range of infrared heaters are the ideal solution for water damage restoration. Built to endure tough environments, manufactured with quality components, and paired with telescopic bars and fastening clips, our systems are easy to install and can be deployed to dry whenever and wherever they are needed.

Infrared heat panels: Frequently Asked Questions

What are infrared heat panels?

Infrared heat panels harness the power of radiant heat to dry out damp, water-damaged surfaces gently and rapidly.

This unique type of radiant heat is similar to the sun, as it heats objects directly, penetrating materials to warm them evenly. As a result, infrared heat panels represent one of the most energy-efficient and economical solutions in water damage restoration.

How do infrared heat panels work?

Where conventional heaters warm the air itself, infrared heat panels transfer their warmth directly to objects as a wave.

This makes infrared heaters a powerful tool in the fight against water damage, as the heat energy delivered is unaffected by air movement, and penetrates damp walls, furniture and flooring, tackling moisture at the source.

What are the benefits of using infrared heat panels?

Infrared heating panels are the solution of choice for most water damage drying projects, as these systems provide a number of key advantages:

  • Infrared heaters heat surfaces directly, not the air around them, ensuring the moisture within can escape
  • By delivering heat as waves, the warmth delivered retains more of its energy over distances, enhancing efficiency and economy
  • Systems can be deployed effectively indoors or out, as their output is entirely unaffected by wind or air movement
  • Infrared heat panels work gently and rapidly, and target hard-to-reach areas directly

Are infrared heat panels safe to use?

Yes. When units are operated responsibly in line with safety guidance, infrared heaters present no health risks to workers or residents.

To understand how to operate your unit as safely as possible, read the included manual for best practice tips. At a minimum:

  • Avoid operating systems near swimming pools and bathtubs
  • Do not drill holes in the system to secure the infrared heat panel to walls
  • Routinely check for damage before every use
  • Keep uncovered, at a safe distance from people

What types of spaces are infrared heat panels suitable for?

From historic churches and warehouses to offices and residential buildings, infrared heat panels are versatile pieces of equipment ideally suited for use in practically any water-damaged space.

How do I choose the right size and number of infrared heat panels for my space?

There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution for every water damage restoration project. Depending on the amount of water inside the property, the size of the affected area, as well as the materials affected, the ideal size and number of infrared heat panels you need will vary.

To ensure your project receives the most fitting solution, we take a consultative approach and work with you to understand your specific requirements before recommending equipment.

How do I install infrared heat panels?

Different units may have specific installation instructions for safe and effective use. However, at a minimum:

  • Hook panels onto wall mounts to avoid drilling units directly into surfaces
  • Mount the equipment at least 2cm away from the wall it will heat
  • Create a gap of at least 2cm between the ventilation slots and the floor or ceiling
  • Lead the power cable downwards, away from the system, along the shortest path

Can I buy your infrared heat panels online?

For all of our infrared heat panels, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting their enquiry and contact details.
