These freestanding structures emit Far Infrared Rays (FIR) which safely warms the skin. These rays are totally invisible and capable of filtering through the body, where they gently raise the body's surface temperature.
Imaging sitting on your favourite rock on an early midsummer morning, closing your eyes and lifting your face to feel the sun's first rays warm you from the inside and promote that unmistakable feeling of wellbeing and relaxation. What you are in fact feeling are the beneficial and harmless Far Infrared rays!
How does it Work?
Rather than heating and circulating the air in the room like traditional heating systems, infrared heats you directly as well as the very fabric of your building. This includes the walls, the furniture and any other objects in it.
These objects then release heat to you at a slow and steady rate, furthering the effect of the infrared heating system.
100% Energy efficient, so great for the environment
100% of the electrical energy used by infrared systems is converted into heat. Infrared panels offer an unprecedented level of control over their property's temperature and energy use. Research shows that a sufficiently insulated building, fitted with infrared panels, can expect significant reductions in energy usage, including:
• Up to 25% reduction on gas central heating systems
• Up to 50% reduction on oil central heating systems
• Up to 60% reduction on electrical storage heating.
Infrared heating is based on a much lower watts-per-cubic-metre ratio than gas and oil systems - meaning the potential for financial savings is greater in almost all contexts.
Its 100% Safe for our Bodies
Infrared is a healthy vital heat - effectively recreating the sun's comforting warmth. Our bodies naturally absorb and emit the same type of heat, and infrared heating provides the following health benefits as standard:
- Infrared heat warms the human body more comfortably than heated air currents.
- As opposed to traditional convection heating, infrared heating attracts and creates far less airborne dust, and so is healthier for our respiratory systems by eliminating the circulation of allergens and dust from the air- ideal for occupants suffering from allergies or asthma Far infrared has become a widely recognised form of natural healthcare and is used in physiotherapy and rheumatism treatments.
- Far infrared waves stimulate blood circulation and, as a result, help heal injuries faster.
- Research has shown that radiant infrared heat has the potential to ease bone, joint and circulation problems - and help in the treatment of conditions like arthritis and rheumatism.
- Infrared is generally reported to benefit the immune and cardiovascular systems. Soft tissue injuries such as tears, pulls and sprains also benefit from Far Infrared heat.
