Ceiling radiant panels (or strip heaters) are suspended heating devices that produce warmth through infrared radiation. They are particularly suitable for heating limited areas within large industrial spaces, creating true heat islands.
Discreet and minimalist in design, they are advantageous both aesthetically and energetically, optimizing heating power while reducing operating costs.

How Ceiling Radiant Panels Work
Ceiling radiant panels, also called strip heaters, are electric heating systems that produce warmth through infrared radiation. Unlike traditional systems, they do not heat the air but transfer heat directly to people, surfaces, and objects.
This principle provides immediate and localized thermal comfort, reducing heat loss and improving overall energy efficiency.
Why Choose a Ceiling Radiant Heating System
Ceiling radiant heating offers numerous advantages compared to solutions such as fan heaters or infrared lamps:
- Direct heat without losses
- No visible light emission
- Silent operation
- Localized heating only where needed
- Uniform temperature in the irradiated area
- No air currents or dust disturbance
- Suitable for environments with specific safety requirements
- Low operating costs and no routine maintenance
Best Applications for Ceiling Radiant Panels
Ceiling radiant panels are particularly suitable for large spaces with high ceilings, where heating the entire air volume would be inefficient.
- Industrial warehouses
- Storage and logistics areas
- Gyms and sports centers
- Workshops and production units
- Localized workstations
In these contexts, they create true heat islands, improving comfort only in operational areas and reducing energy waste.
How to Select the Correct Power for Radiant Panels
The power selection of a strip heater depends on several factors:
- Installation height
- Surface area to heat
- Type of environment
- Number of panels installed in series
Correct sizing ensures effective, uniform, and well-distributed heating.
