Warehouse Infrared Heating
Most warehouses are full of stock, not people. They are also often large and poorly insulated - so using traditional convection heating methods to bring them up to a comfortable temperature for the few people who work inside them wastes precious resources.
Our innovative infrared heating systems enable you to split your warehouse into zones - anything from two to 50 of them. This means that when you have a team working in the packing area, for example, you can warm them instantly - without heating the rest of the warehouse.
Because warehouse infrared heaters doesn't heat the air (it's basically the same physics as warming your skin under the sun), the ambient temperature of your warehouse will barely rise - even when our range of hi-spec heaters have been on for hours.
So if you have products in your factory that are sensitive to heat - such as medical supplies or food - the risk of heat damage that you'd get from convection heaters is virtually eliminated.
Infrared heaters emit radiant heat that directly warms objects and people in their path rather than heating the air. This targeted heating approach reduces energy wastage by minimising heat loss through air circulation and convection. As a result, Shadow Industrial infrared heaters can provide significant energy savings.
Infrared heaters generate instant heat as soon as they are turned on - no preheating required. The result is rapid heating of specific areas within your warehouse. This is particularly advantageous around loading bays that require immediate warmth or for zone heating in large warehouses with varying temperature requirements.
Shadow infrared heaters can be easily zoned to heat specific parts of your warehouse, providing flexibility and cost-effectiveness. By directing heat only where it is needed, you can avoid wasting energy on unoccupied or less frequently used areas. Zoning also allows for personalised comfort levels in different zones.
Infrared heaters emit a gentle, radiant heat that directly warms people and is similar to the warmth of the sun. It creates a more pleasant environment than forced-air systems that can cause drafts and temperature stratification. Comfortable staff are more likely to be productive and less likely to leave.
Infrared heaters have fewer moving parts than traditional warehouse heating systems, which means lower maintenance requirements and costs. They do not rely on blowers or fans that can collect dust and require regular cleaning. This simplicity of design contributes to increased reliability and longer equipment life.
Unlike forced-air systems, Shadow Industrial infrared heaters will not circulate air throughout your warehouse. This reduces the distribution of dust, allergens, and other airborne particles. As a result, our clients can look forward to improved indoor air quality and a healthier work environment for employees.
Many warehouses have high ceilings, which can make it challenging to distribute heat evenly. Shadow Industrial infrared heaters are particularly effective in such environments, delivering heat directly to the objects and people below. This ensures consistent warmth throughout the space.

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 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.
