Wall or ceiling heating: which should you choose?
Heated walls store heat and suit tall rooms. Heated ceilings spread heat evenly and free up the walls. How to choose, and what each costs to install and run.

PowerBoard vs standard infrared panels: what actually differs
Most infrared panels use a resistive wire and hang on the wall at 90 to 110 °C. PowerBoard uses full-surface carbon fibre in the ceiling. Five differences.

Radiant heating and humidity: the link most people miss
Warm surfaces don’t reach dew point, so they don’t condense. How radiant heating keeps humidity at 40 to 60% and why that matters for mould and comfort.

Proximity to surface: the overlooked half of heating efficiency
Boilers and heat pumps make heat far from where it’s used, and every metre of pipe costs energy. Why heat made millimetres from the surface changes the sums.

Why do some people run hot and others cold?
Metabolism explains most of the office thermostat war. How metabolic rate, activity and body build change the heat a person makes, and why no setting suits all.

Is far infrared heating safe?
Is far infrared heating safe? Far infrared is non-ionising, low-energy radiation. What our films emit, and why surface temperature is the real safety question.
