Via infrared radiation following the natural principle of the sun the modern infrared radiant heaters of the IR-S series produce direct warmth immediately upon switch-on. Unlike when using conventional heating devices the infrared rays here do not heat the room air but solid materials and objects they are directed at – such as walls, the floor or the ceiling. These can store the heat for a longer period and then release it in form of secondary radiation. Infrared radiation immediately generates an agreeable sensation of warmth on the skin.

Seeing as infrared radiant heaters convert a great deal of the energy input into direct heat, they are particularly energy-efficient as compared to say hot air blowers. The intense heat is produced selectively and without the need for preheating – a clean way of heating without causing noises, smells or dust circulation, hence also suitable for allergy sufferers. The infrared radiant heaters are ideally suited for use in the transition period between seasons or else as standby heating solution.
