Infrared heating in stables, saddle chambers and flushing cisterns - That's why more and more people are choosing Infracenter

A stable has completely different heating requirements than a regular residential building.

Moisture, dust, open doors, washing animals and large temperature variations mean that many traditional heating systems perform less well than desired. At the same time, temperature is not always the most important thing.

For many horse owners, farmers and farm owners, it is just as much about creating a drier and healthier climate for both people and animals.

Infracenter's infrared panels and Dark Heater are used today in everything from horse stables and tack rooms to chicken coops, barns, piggeries, sheep houses and other agricultural buildings where moisture is a constant challenge.

In many stables, it's not about heat – it's about getting rid of the moisture

When talking about heating a stable, many people immediately think of temperature. But for many horse owners, heat is actually not the most important thing.

The most important thing is to create a drier and healthier climate in the building.

Moisture is a natural part of everyday life in stables, barns, chicken coops, pig pens and other animal enclosures. Animals exhale large amounts of moisture, water is used for cleaning and temperature changes often create condensation on cold walls, ceilings and floors.

Instead of just heating the air, infrared heat directly heats walls, floors, ceilings, interiors and other surfaces. As the building's surfaces become warmer, the risk of condensation is reduced while moisture is driven out of the material.

The result is often a drier climate that is perceived as significantly less raw and humid.

Many of Infracenter's customers therefore use their infrared panels or Dark Heaters all year round. Not because it's cold, but to help keep the building dry and create a better environment for both people and animals.

A drier stable is about both economics and animal welfare

Letting infrared heat help keep walls, ceilings and floors drier is often significantly cheaper than dealing with moisture damage, mold problems or extensive renovations later on.

But it's not just about the building.

Animals are also affected by the environment they live in every day. Most horse owners and farmers know how important it is for animals to be able to live in a dry and well-maintained environment. If moisture is allowed to dominate for long periods, poorer conditions are created for both animals and people.

That's why many farms, stables, chicken coops, piggeries and barns use infrared heat as a tool to keep the buildings drier all year round. It's not always about raising the temperature, but about creating a better climate in the building and thus better conditions for both animal husbandry and the long-term condition of the property.

Why IP54 and IP65 are so important in stable environments

One of the most common misconceptions is that all infrared panels work equally well in a stable.

That's not the case.

Many heating panels on the market are designed for dry living rooms and offices. They work great there, but are not built for the moisture, dust and temperature variations found in stables, farms and other animal environments.

Therefore, the IP class is one of the most important factors to check before installing heating in a stable.

Infracenter Standard series and Powerseries are IP54 rated. For many stable environments, IP54 is a minimum requirement for the product to be a good long-term choice.

For even more exposed environments, Infracenter also offers the Dark Heater series, which is IP65 rated. This means a very high level of protection against both dust and moisture, making it ideal for use in, for example, flush toilets, washrooms and other environments where water is regularly present.

That's one of the reasons why so many horse owners, farmers and farm owners choose Infracenter.

That's why many horse owners choose long-wave infrared heating

Not all infrared heaters work the same way.

Many stables still use traditional heat lamps, often called pig lamps or heat lamps. These are usually based on short-wave infrared technology and operate at very high surface temperatures.

The red glow from the lamp is a clear sign that the heat source is operating at significantly higher temperatures than long-wave infrared heat.

A traditional heat lamp can reach very high temperatures and provides intense heat close to the heat source. Therefore, the heat is often experienced as harsh and concentrated.

Infracenter's infrared panels and Dark Heater are instead based on long-wave infrared technology. The heat is felt softer, spreads more evenly and works better in many environments where both people and animals stay for longer periods.

This is one of the reasons why many horse owners choose Infracenter's products when they want to create a comfortable environment in the stable and tack room.

Infrared heating is often used as a horse solarium

Many of Infracenter's customers also use infrared panels and Dark Heater as a complement after showering and washing horses.

After training or washing, it is important that the horse has the opportunity to dry properly, especially during the colder part of the year.

Therefore, infrared heat is often used above stalls, in wash stalls and in other areas where horses stand still for a period of time.

The comfortable long-wave infrared heat helps to warm the horse and surrounding surfaces without creating drafts or strong air circulation. At the same time, it helps to keep the environment drier, which is an important advantage in many stables.

Infracenter can heat the entire stable

Different parts of a stable have different needs.

There is rarely a single product that is best everywhere. That is why many customers choose to combine Infracenter's infrared panels with Dark Heater to get the right solution in every space.

Why horse owners and farmers choose Infracenter

Since 2014, Infracenter has helped customers heat everything from homes and offices to stables, chicken coops, barns, pig pens and other demanding environments.

The difference is that we don't just sell products.

We know which solutions work in the saddle room.

We know which products work in the sink.

We know which heaters can handle damp stable aisles.

We know which products work in agricultural environments where dust, moisture and temperature changes are a natural part of everyday life.

This experience means that many customers return to Infracenter when new buildings need to be heated or when existing solutions need to be improved.

Is infrared heating safe to use in stables?

Yes. Properly installed infrared panels and infrared heaters are a safe and proven solution for stable environments.

Why is IP54 important in stables?

IP54 provides protection against dust and moisture, which is very important in environments where animals, cleaning and temperature changes occur daily.

When should you choose IP65?

IP65 is a very good choice in areas such as shower stalls, laundry areas and other spaces where moisture levels are higher.

Can infrared heating be used in chicken coops and barns?

Yes. Infracenter's products are used today in everything from horse stables and chicken coops to barns, pig pens and other agricultural buildings where you want to create a drier and more comfortable climate.

Can infrared heating be used as a horse solarium?

Yes. Many people use infrared panels and Dark Heaters above stalls and wash stalls to help the horse dry after washing or training.
