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 […]
iHelios Infrared Heating Film: Comfort & Efficiency
The iHelios infrared heating film delivers superior comfort and efficiency by converting 90% of its energy into beneficial Far Infrared (FIR) heat. This high emissivity means it warms rooms, objects, and people directly and quickly, similar to natural sunlight. The result is a gentle, uniform warmth that reduces energy costs by up to 40% compared […]
iHelios Carbon Payback: A Quick Analysis
The iHelios infrared heating system has an incredibly fast carbon payback period, as low as 1.2 months. This is because its manufacturing carbon footprint (around 45-90 kg CO₂e for a 45m² system) is quickly offset by its high energy efficiency. By saving up to 1,575 kg of CO₂e per year compared to traditional heaters, it […]
The End of Radiators: Why Infrared is the Future
The End of Radiators: Why Infrared is the Future Traditional radiators are outdated because they heat air unevenly, causing condensation, damp, and mould while circulating dust. The iHelios infrared system is the future because it directly warms the room’s surfaces, preventing these issues. It provides healthier, more comfortable heat, improves air quality, is highly energy-efficient, […]
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 […]
Sustainable Heating: Infrared Film & Solar Panels
Combining infrared heating film with solar panels creates a highly sustainable and cost-effective heating solution. The solar panels generate free, renewable electricity to power the highly efficient infrared film, drastically cutting running costs and your carbon footprint. This pairing offers complete energy independence, especially with a battery, providing low-maintenance, comfortable, and eco-friendly warmth for any […]
