Radiant Heating for Mosques: Discreet Comfort and Respect for the Sacred Place

Ensure a pleasant temperature in the prayer hall and reception areas

Mosques are gathering and prayer places that require special thermal comfort, especially in winter. With their large open spaces, high ceilings, and often heavy attendance, it is essential to provide warmth in a targeted and respectful manner. Electric radiant heating is the ideal solution: discreet, silent, efficient, and respectful of the sacred environment.

Why use radiant heating in a mosque?

Electric radiant heating works by infrared radiation, directly warming people and surfaces without unnecessarily heating the air:

• Immediate warmth felt at floor level and for the worshippers
• No air movement, ideal for prayer areas
• Discreet installation, silent and gas-free
• Optimized energy consumption through zonal heating
• Compliance with ERP safety rules for places of worship

Areas concerned in a mosque

• Large prayer hall (musalla)
• Ablution rooms (wudu)
• Entrances and reception halls
• Meeting, teaching or conference rooms
• Covered or semi-covered outdoor spaces

Which heating type to choose?

• Medium wave (IR-M): for gentle radiation, ideal for the prayer hall
• Short wave (IR-A): for very open or exposed areas like entrances
• Discreet models: white, black or custom colors for architectural integration

Recommended power according to areas

• Prayer hall (seated or prostration areas): 1,800 to 2,400 W per module, depending on surface
• Ablution area: 1,200 to 2,000 W to avoid cold after washing
• Entrances and halls: 2,400 to 3,600 W depending on openness and traffic

Installation advice

• Installation height: 2.5 to 3.5 meters depending on configuration
• Wall or ceiling mounting to minimize visual impact
• Gentle orientation to heat worshippers without disturbing movement
• Use of suitable supports for light or historic structures
• Recommended IP rating: IP44 or IP55 for wet areas (ablutions)

Respect for the place and religious constraints

Radiant heating fully respects the specifics of mosques:

• Silent and ventilation-free, preserving concentration and calm
• No intrusive light or visual disturbance during prayer
• Discrete fixings and secure wiring
• Possibility of zonal operation for peak times
