Is infrared heating good for conservatories?
Infrared provides an effective conservatory heating solution because it is easy to install, efficient to run and has zero maintenance. Far Infrared warms the materials in the conservatory that then slowly give out there warmth to the air.
How does infrared radiation from the sun warm up the air in the conservatory?
The way it works is by emitting the infrared radiation waves, which heats objects, including yourself, directly. This means no heat is lost from draughts or by the poor insulation of the glass exterior. On top of this, they will warm up incredibly quick, and you will feel the effects in an instant.
How can walls be built to keep a house warmer?
Heat loss through walls can be reduced using cavity wall insulation. This involves blowing insulating material into the gap between the brick and the inside wall. The insulating material contains pockets of trapped air and therefore reduces conduction and convection.
What is the best emitter of infrared radiation?
Dark and matt surfaces are good absorbers and emitters of infrared radiation. Light and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers and emitters of infrared radiation. Light and shiny surfaces are good reflectors of infrared radiation.
