WHAT IS INFRARED HEATING

Invisible heat

Infrared heat waves can be felt, but you cannot see them or smell them. This is implied by the name: The prefix 'infra', from Latin, means 'below', or 'beyond'. So we are talking about electromagnetic waves, which are 'below-red' in the visible light spectrum.

We experience infrared light every time we feel the heat from the sun or the warmth of a campfire. Technically what we are experiencing is thermal infrared light. 

Compared to conventional radiators, Redwell infrared heating system works by heating the entire mass instead of the air in the room. Walls store heat much longer than air and return it to the living space. So the walls stay dry and mould does not have a chance. In addition, the air is not circulated and thus no dust is whirled up - that helps if you suffer from any allergies. 

Infrared heat increases circulation in the skin, stimulates the metabolism, is very hygienic due to cleaner air and has a detoxifying effect. Rheumatoid patients respond to a lack of air circulation and a consistent humidity is very positive. Asthmatic patients also benefit from clean air and stable humidity. Allergy sufferers can breathe a deep sigh of relief because there is less dust, pollen, bacteria and mould spores in the air.

In addition, infrared heat has an advantage over other heating methods that the emitted heat penetrates the human body to a greater extent. This not only strengthens the immune system, but also helps to compensate exposure from electro-smog better.
