Why Choose Infrared Radiant Heaters?

Standard heating options for large open spaces such as commercial premises, retail units, industrial halls, workshops, warehouses, shops, function halls and sports halls, in general, are extremely ineffective and costly to run and maintain due to heat rising to the roof space.

Our ECOSUN range utilise far infrared heating. This differs from conventional convection heaters or air blower heaters as it:

• Heats objects, not the air
• Does not rely on air currents
• Reduces temperature variations

Far infrared heating naturally seeks out the coldest objects in the room to heat. These objects then gently heat the surrounding air. Conventional radiators heat the air. This hot air then rises, cold air falls and the cycle continues. However, this means that the air at the ceiling will always be warmer than the floor.

By using far infrared heating, Flexel underfloor heating systems eliminate these variations in temperature, resulting in a more comfortable environment. Radiant panels are intended for the heating of large spaces and they can also be used for the local heating of designated areas (zonal temperature maintenance) when used on walls at lower levels and directed to where the heating is needed most. Our panels are most effective and efficient when mounted or hung from the ceiling using a chains, cords or with the help of installation brackets.

Efficient Infrared Heating

We have been manufacturing far infrared heaters, for both commercial and domestic applications, in our UK factory since 1978. The core of our heating technology is in the carbon loaded resins used in the manufacture of our heating element.

Continuous development and refinement over the years has resulted in a thin-film heating element with proven longevity. Many of our original units are still in service today.

Our panels contain no moving parts , the only mechanical device is a high limit thermal cut-out. Our far infrared heating panels have a service life in the decades.

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 element provides even heat distribution, damage toleration and a thermal efficiency significantly higher 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.
