Infrared Film vs. Radiators: A Health & Comfort Comparison
Infrared heating film is a healthier and more comfortable option than conventional radiators. It provides even, radiant warmth without circulating dust or allergens, and it maintains natural humidity levels. Unlike radiators that dry out the air and create cold spots, infrared heat offers therapeutic benefits like improved circulation, making it the superior choice for modern, […]
Underfloor Heating vs. iHelios Infrared Heating: Which Is Smarter?
When comparing underfloor heating to iHelios, the smarter choice is iHelios infrared heating film. It provides instant, precise temperature control and lower installation costs without needing maintenance. Traditional water-based underfloor systems are expensive to install, slow to respond, and require regular servicing, making iHelios a more efficient, cost-effective, and convenient solution for modern homes. While […]
Far Infrared Heating Film: Principles of Operation
iHelios Far Infrared Heating Film operates by converting electrical energy into radiant heat. A current passes through a conductive carbon layer, which then emits far-infrared waves. This radiation directly warms objects, people, and surfaces in a room, rather than the air. This direct heating method is highly efficient, provides even warmth, and avoids circulating dust […]

The Ultimate Guide to iHelios Infrared Heating Film
The iHelios Infrared Heating Film is a modern, energy-efficient heating solution that uses radiant heat to warm spaces. It provides uniform warmth by heating objects directly, not the air, which reduces energy consumption and lowers utility bills. Easy to install in floors and ceilings, it is an eco-friendly and versatile choice for residential, commercial, and […]
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 […]
Infrared Panels vs. Heating Film: Which is Best?
Choose infrared panels for visible, easy-to-install, targeted heating in specific zones, as they operate at a higher temperature. Opt for infrared heating film if you want an invisible, whole-room solution with a lower surface temperature, ideal for underfloor heating. Both are energy-efficient, but your choice depends on whether you prioritize focused heat or a seamless […]
Underfloor Heating for Laminate & Engineered Wood
Yes, you can install infrared electric heating film under laminate and engineered wood floors for an efficient, invisible heating solution. This modern technology provides even, radiant warmth, saving space and reducing energy costs compared to traditional radiators. Its low, steady operating temperature is safe for these floor types, improving comfort and air quality without circulating […]
Combat Damp and Condensation with iHelios Infrared Heating
Beat Damp and Condensation with iHelios Heating Answer BlockThe iHelios Infrared Heating System combats damp and condensation by directly warming the walls, floors, and surfaces of a room, not just the air. This prevents moisture from condensing on cold surfaces, which is the primary cause of damp and mould. By reducing humidity and improving air […]
How to Install Infrared Heating Film Under Tiles
Yes, you can install infrared heating film under tiles. The process involves preparing the subfloor, laying insulation, rolling out the heating film, and wiring it to a thermostat. A protective layer is applied before laying tiles with a compatible flexible adhesive. This method provides an efficient, invisible heating solution perfect for bathrooms and kitchens, delivering […]
