When it comes to heating workshops and garages, traditional convection systems struggle to deliver the instant, efficient warmth your team needs. While some workshops are equipped with extractor systems to remove exhaust fumes, many rely on natural ventilation. As a result, doors often remain open from morning until closing time, allowing cold air to circulate freely and causing indoor temperatures to drop steadily throughout the day.
Shadow's infrared heating systems are engineered specifically for workshop environments, delivering fast, cost-effective, and energy-efficient warmth even in draughty or open workspaces.
Unlike traditional convection heaters that attempt to warm the surrounding air, infrared heaters use short-wave radiant energy to heat people and surfaces directly. This means mechanics, technicians, and workshop staff stay comfortable from the very first minute of their shift.
This makes Shadow infrared heaters ideal for workshops and garages where heat loss is unavoidable. Our heaters can be zoned and strategically positioned to focus warmth on busy workstations, benches, or high-traffic areas, giving you greater control and flexibility while reducing operational costs. The warming effect is instant, delivering comfort exactly where it's needed without wasting energy on unused space.
Rather than trying to raise the temperature of an entire building, infrared workshop heaters allow you to direct heat precisely to workstations and high-use areas. This targeted approach reduces energy consumption, lowers operating costs, and creates a more comfortable working environment, even with doors open and ventilation systems in operation.
Shadow infrared heaters provide a reliable, long-term heating solution for workshops, garages, MOT centres, industrial service bays, engineering workshops, and fabrication facilities.
Workshop infrared heaters produce heat directly, warming up everything in their path instead of warming up the surrounding air. Direct, targeted heating reduces energy wastage in your garage, minimising heat that is lost through air circulation. It means that doors can be left open to let out dangerous vehicle exhaust fumes.
Infrared heaters provide heat the second they are turned on. That means there is no preheating or waiting around for the heater to warm up. This feature has made our systems hugely popular in garages or workshops where fast warmth is required - especially on winter days when large doors are left open for long spells.
Shadow infrared heaters can be zoned to heat specific areas in your garage or workshop, providing a great deal of flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Why heat part of the garage where no one is working? By strategically positioning your heaters, you can heat individual workstations, benches, or areas of high occupancy as needed.
Infrared heaters create a comfortable working environment by directly heating objects and people. The heat generated is similar to that of the sun, providing a gentle warmth that doesn't produce drafts or air movement. It means that staff can work comfortably all day - even in large or draughty spaces.
Our infrared heaters are available in compact sizes and can be mounted on walls or ceilings, which helps save valuable floor space in a factory. They can be strategically positioned to deliver heat exactly where it is needed most - without obstructing workflow or storage areas.
Our industrial-grade infrared heaters are designed to withstand the demands of garages and workshops. They are constructed with durable materials that can endure harsh conditions and heavy use. Additionally, Shadow infrared heaters generally require minimal maintenance due to their simple construction, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
Did you know? You can save up to 90% of your energy costs by switching to our workshop heating solutions.
Unlike conventional factory heating solutions that warm the surrounding air, infrared heaters emit radiant heat that directly warms objects and individuals in their range. This targeted heating ensures that people in the factory receive warmth efficiently, regardless of air movement or draughts.
Most companies today want to reduce or eliminate their net contribution to greenhouse gasses - but it can be hard to know where to begin.
What will have the most impact? One focus area for many organisations is their energy use and heating.
Gas-based systems are falling out of favour as they generate significant carbon emissions. Instead, many are turning to electric infrared heating for garages or workshops as this offers the potential for zero emissions at the point of use if renewable energy is used to power them.
Infrared is a popular choice as it offers very high-efficiency ratings - up to 98% of energy is converted into heat. Additionally, heat isn't wasted as it can be focused on the areas that need it the most.
