Dog daycares, kennels and dog halls are exposed to significantly greater moisture stress every day than ordinary premises.
Wet dogs come in from walks in rain, snow and slush. Floors are washed regularly. Dogs are showered. Equipment is cleaned. Doors are opened and closed throughout the day.
The result is often premises that never really have time to dry out.
Many businesses focus on ventilation and cleaning, which is important. But it is not always enough to create a dry and comfortable climate.
That's why more and more dog daycares and kennels are using infrared heating from Infracenter.
Infrared heating is often more about moisture than temperature
Many people believe that infrared heating in dog environments is primarily about raising the temperature.
In reality, it is often the opposite.
For many businesses, the biggest advantage is that infrared heating helps keep the premises drier.
Wet dogs, daily cleaning, washing floors and high humidity mean that moisture is constantly added to the building. If walls, floors and other surfaces are never given the opportunity to dry properly, problems often arise over time.
One of the first signals is usually the musty smell that many people associate with damp premises. When moisture remains in the building for longer periods, the smell often becomes more difficult to remove, even with regular cleaning and tidying.
By directly heating walls, floors and other surfaces, infrared heating helps create a drier climate that benefits both the property, the people and the dogs that live there.
A drier environment is better for both the dogs and the building
In many dog daycares and kennels, it is not the temperature that creates problems.
It's the humidity.
If walls, floors and ceilings are never given the opportunity to dry properly, the risk of a raw and damp environment increases, which is not good for people, dogs or the building.
That's why many professional dog businesses use infrared heating as a complement to ventilation and cleaning. By directly heating the building's surfaces, infrared heating helps keep the premises drier over time.
This creates better conditions for both animals and people while exposing the building to less moisture.
In the long term, it is often significantly cheaper to prevent moisture problems than to deal with damage to walls, floors and furnishings later on.
Moisture problems cost more than many people think
Humidity doesn't just affect the comfort of the premises.
Over time, moisture can contribute to wear and tear on walls, floors, interior design and other building components. Therefore, it is important to focus not only on temperature but also on how to create a drier climate in the building.
For many dog daycares, kennels and training facilities, infrared heating is an easy way to help the premises dry up faster after cleaning, rainy days and periods of high humidity.
It is also a reason why many people choose to run their infrared panels year-round, even during periods when the need for heating is actually limited.
Dog daycare places higher demands than regular facilities
Many heating panels on the market are designed for dry living spaces or offices.
Dog daycares, kennels and dog halls are something completely different.
Here there is daily cleaning, wet dogs, water handling and significantly higher humidity than in regular premises.
That is why the IP class is important.
Infracenter Standard series and
For more exposed spaces, the Dark Heater is often used, which is IP65 rated and designed to withstand even tougher environments.
