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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
