Why Infrared Continues To Be the Future
Did you know there are different 'types' of heat? Infrared technology is changing the way we experience heat indoors and outdoor living spaces. Whether you are looking to add some warmth and comfort to your backyard patio or restaurant outdoor dining, its important to know what 'type' of heat is best for your space and your customers.
What is Infrared Technology?
Infrared Technology works by translating electricity into what is referred to as radiant heat.
Note: Radiant heat is a direct source of heat that travels through electromagnetic waves invisible to the human eye.
Infrared technology creates heat through thermal radiation that is absorbed by the people and objects around it Instead of warm air being generated through traditional means such as conduction or convection. Infrared is 100% safe for the human body unlike Ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Through this process, infrared technology creates a fast and efficient way to distribute heat in whatever space you wish to install the heater.
What Is Infrared Heating Used For?
Infrared heating is an environmentally friendly solution to distribute heat evenly, consistently and quickly with zero emissions. Whether plugged in and portable or fixed and hardwired, this technology is a safe alternative to open flame heat which can be hazardous to everything around it. Infrared heaters can be installed indoors or outdoors, with a wide variety of aesthetically pleasing styles and colours to choose from. With remote controls to easily turn the heat source on and off, customize temperature levels, and operate multiple heaters at once, warming your space has never been easier.
