"It feels much nicer in here."
It's a comment we at Infracenter hear almost daily from customers who have installed infrared heating for the first time.
Many are surprised. The temperature in the room may be the same as before, but the heat still feels different. Warmer. Softer. More comfortable.
So what exactly makes infrared heat feel so different?
The answer is not just about temperature. It's about how the heat is spread, how the body perceives the heat, and how the entire room is affected.
Since 2014, Infracenter has helped thousands of customers create a better indoor climate with infrared heating and infrared heating panels. Experience shows that comfort is about much more than what the thermometer shows.

Comfort is about more than degrees on the thermometer
Many people assume that two rooms with the same temperature should feel the same.
In reality, it doesn't work that way.
A room can be 21 degrees but still feel cold if the walls, floor or furniture are cold. Another room can be the same temperature but feel much more comfortable because the heat is more evenly distributed.
| What affects comfort | Why it's important |
|---|---|
| Air temperature | Affects the basic heat |
| Floor temperature | Directly affects comfort |
| Wall temperature | Affects how warm the room feels |
| Features | Can make the room feel colder |
| Temperature distribution | Determines how even the heat feels |
When people say a room feels warm and comfortable, it's almost always a combination of factors. That's why two rooms with exactly the same temperature can feel completely different.
Infrared heating works in the same way as the sun
The simplest explanation is to think of a sunny spring day.
The air temperature may only be a few degrees above zero, but when the sun hits your skin, it still feels warm and pleasant.
This is because the sun heats you directly.
Infrared heating works according to the same basic principle.
Infracenter's infrared heating panels heat people, floors, walls, ceilings and furniture directly instead of just heating the air.
| Traditional heating | Infrared heating |
|---|---|
| Mainly heats the air | Warms people and surfaces |
| The heat rises upwards | The heat stays where it is useful |
| Risk of cold floors | More comfortable floor temperature |
| Larger temperature differences | More even temperature |
| Can feel drafty | Calmer indoor climate |
Infracenter's infrared heating panels use the same basic principle as the sun's infrared radiation, which is one of the reasons why the heat is often experienced as natural and pleasant.
Heated floors change the whole experience

The floor is one of the surfaces that affects our comfort the most.
When the floor feels cold, many people experience that the entire room feels colder than it actually is. However, when the floor is warm, the entire feeling in the room changes.
Because infrared heating panels heat the floor directly, many customers experience a significant increase in comfort.
Many describe that their infrared heating panels provide a feeling reminiscent of underfloor heating, even though no water-based or electric underfloor heating is installed.
It is one of the most appreciated features of infrared heating.
Less drag means more comfort
A common problem with many traditional heating systems is that they rely on hot air circulating through the room.
When air moves, drafts and temperature differences often occur.
Infrared heating works differently.
Because Infracenter's infrared heating panels heat people and surfaces directly, the same air circulation is not needed to create a comfortable temperature.
Many people therefore experience that the indoor climate feels calmer and more even.
Why infrared heating is used in yoga studios and wellness facilities

There are few environments where comfort is more important than in a yoga studio.
When people sit or lie still for longer periods, temperature differences, cold floors and drafts are much more noticeable than in environments where people are in motion.
Today, Infracenter is the market leader in infrared heating for yoga studios in Sweden and delivers solutions to new facilities around the Nordic region every year.
Experience clearly shows that environments where people sit or lie still for longer periods place extra high demands on comfort, even temperature and absence of drafts.
That is why infrared heating panels have become one of the most appreciated heating systems in yoga, wellness and other activities where comfort is the focus.
Not all infrared heating panels provide the same comfort
It's easy to think that all infrared heating panels work the same.
That's not the case.
Two panels with the same output can provide completely different heating experiences depending on construction, temperature, heat distribution and quality.
That is also why Infracenter develops its own products.
Through experience from thousands of installations, we know that the details play a major role in how heat is actually experienced in everyday life.
The goal is not to offer the cheapest panel on the market.
The goal is to create high comfort for many years.
