Understanding Far-Infrared Heating and Its Benefits
Far-infrared (FIR) radiation is the safest and most beneficial type of infrared for heating. Unlike near-infrared, FIR has a longer wavelength that gently warms objects and surfaces, not the air. This provides even, comfortable heat similar to the sun’s warmth. The iHelios heating film leverages this technology to offer an efficient, uniform, and safe heating […]
How to Calculate iHelios Infrared Heating Film Needs
To calculate your iHelios infrared heating film needs, first determine the room’s heating load in watts by multiplying its volume (m³) by a heating factor (10-40 W/m³ based on insulation). Then, divide the total heating load by the wattage per meter of your chosen film to find the required length. We are also happy to […]
