In many restaurants, tables by the large windows are the most attractive. Guests want the view, the daylight and the feeling of sitting in the middle of city life. At O'Learys in Sundbyberg, things were different. During the cold part of the year, the large glass areas were drafty and many guests chose tables further into the restaurant instead. The staff often had to try to rearrange bookings and seating so that everyone would feel comfortable. The restaurant wanted to find a solution that really worked – without affecting the interior or the open feel of the premises.
Infracenter found the solution where heat was needed
Instead of trying to heat the entire restaurant, Infracenter analyzed how the premises were used. The problem was not the temperature in the room. The problem was that the guests were sitting right next to large, cold glass areas. The solution was large infrared panels mounted in the ceiling above the window areas. The panels heat the guests, the tables and the floor directly with soft infrared waves, which means that the cold feeling from the glass disappears without the temperature in the entire restaurant needing to be raised. It is precisely this type of planning that has made Infracenter one of the Nordic countries' leading specialists in infrared heating.
The panels were painted to become part of the restaurant's design
At O'Learys, the interior design is an important part of the experience. In order for the heating system to blend in perfectly, the infrared panels were painted in exactly the same red as the suspended ceiling. When you enter the restaurant, it is therefore difficult to even notice that there is a complete heating system. The panels become a natural part of the architecture instead of something that stands out. It is a solution that shows how flexible infrared heating can be when design and function are combined.
The investment paid off faster than expected
After the installation, the restaurant quickly noticed the difference. The tables by the windows became significantly more attractive and the guests stayed longer without experiencing drafts or cold. For the restaurant, this meant a better guest experience and an investment that quickly proved its worth. Jonas at O'Learys summarizes the result simply: "Thank you very much for the fast delivery. We had big problems with a drafty environment by our windows. Thanks to you at Infracenter, we no longer have those problems. The customers stay seated and enjoy the warmth. We have saved the panels many times over. We will be back soon with orders for more restaurants." It is a receipt that means a lot. When a restaurant chooses to continue investing in the same solution, it is the best confirmation that the result meets expectations.
When design and comfort must work together
For modern restaurants, it's not enough for a heating system to work. It also has to fit in with the environment. At O'Learys, guests notice one thing above all else – that it's always warm and comfortable by the windows. The fact that the panels are also painted the same color as the suspended ceiling means that they almost disappear completely into the interior. That's exactly how a professional heating system should work.
