Why choose Flexel Infrared Heaters?

Flexel International have been designing and manufacturing innovative electric infrared heating systems since 1978. Our range of infrared heaters are suitable for both domestic and commercial applications. Our unique carbon impregnated glass cloth element provides excellent thermal efficiency and long life.

The core of our heating technology is in the carbon loaded resin used in the manufacture of our heating element. Continuous research and development have resulted in a thin-film heating element with a proven history of performance and longevity. Carbon heating elements provide even heat distribution, damage tolerance, and significantly higher thermal efficiency than cable or wire-based products.

As part of the Fenix Group of companies, with production facilities in the UK and throughout Europe, we are one of the world’s largest specialist manufacturers of infrared heating products.

Infrared vs Convection Heating

Traditional central heating systems work by air passing over warm water radiators. This creates warm air currents, as warm air rises and cold air falls due to differences in density. This results in uneven temperatures, with the ceiling heated first.

By contrast, infrared heat warms people and objects first, which then gently heat the surrounding air. This allows lower air temperatures while maintaining comfort, reducing energy costs.

Infrared heating does not cause air circulation, meaning:

• No draughts
• No dust circulation
• Improved comfort for allergy sufferers

Designed for Living

Infrared heating systems, available as wall or ceiling-mounted panels, can become an elegant and decorative part of any home.

• Minimal air movement reduces dust circulation
• Hygienic and discreet
• Energy efficient and cost effective
• No moving parts, meaning no maintenance
• Simple installation process
• Available in a wide range of sizes and colours

Carbon Heating

Carbon heating elements from Flexel are durable and efficient — forming the core of many infrared heating systems.

• Durable: resistant to localised failure
• Uniform heat distribution
• Highly efficient: over 99% of electrical energy converted to heat
• Consistent efficiency at any temperature

Electricity – The Fuel of the Future

Electric power is the future of heating. Declining North Sea gas supplies, uncertainty around imports, fluctuating oil prices, and commitments to reduce carbon emissions all point towards electricity as the long-term solution.

Electric heating is 100% efficient at the point of use and compatible with renewable technologies. As low-carbon energy sources expand, electric heating will increasingly replace traditional gas systems.
