Lava infrared heating panel

Technical details for the infrared heating mirror.

Infrared heating is based on replicating the warming effect of the sun's infrared rays and primarily heats the walls and ceiling and the objects in the room that on their turn release the heat to the room.

Infrared - radiation heat

In a nutshell

Infrared is a natural form of radiation. Objects that generate heat also generate infrared radiation and those objects include animals and the human body. Infrared rays are invisible to the human eye, but can be sensed on the skin due to its energy release in the form of heat.

Infrared literally means 'beneath the red', due to the fact that the frequency lies slightly below that of red. In this spectrum large differences exist in wavelength and it can be devided into three groups:

  • Near Infrared (NIR)
  • Mid Infrared (MIR)
  • Far Infrared (FIR)

For heating purposes the different characteristics of the infrared groups are used. Outside Near Infrared is used in a mix of app. 35% NIR and 50% MIR for high efficiency. Due to the relatively high part NIR radiation we see a sort of red light.

To heat a space / room appliances are used that have a relatively high part of FIR radiation. Wavelength and intensity vary by using different materials such as glass, marble, metal etc.

The radiation heat generated by infrared causes a deep feeling of warmth is very comfortable and can actually give the body a feeling of well being.

Experiance this comfortable feeling through Lava® infrared heating!
