Radiant Heating for Warehouse: Effective Solution for Large Volumes
Heat your work areas without energy loss, even in poorly insulated buildings
Heating a warehouse is a major challenge. Large volumes, frequently opened doors, and poor insulation make traditional heating systems inefficient and costly. Electric radiant heating proves to be the ideal solution to provide thermal comfort exactly where it’s needed: at workstations, traffic or packing areas, without heating the entire building.
Why use radiant heating in a warehouse?
Radiant heating works by infrared radiation, delivering heat directly to people and objects without warming the air:
- Localized and targeted heating
- Significant energy consumption reduction
- Immediate comfort for operators
- No air movement: ideal for dusty environments
- Simple installation, low maintenance
Typical applications in a warehouse
- Picking or packing stations
- Shipping or receiving zones
- Quality control areas
- Locker rooms or break rooms
- Maintenance or assembly stations
What type of heating for a warehouse?
- Short wave (IR-A): for stations near large openings or industrial doors
- Medium wave (IR-M): for fixed or semi-sheltered work zones
- Suspended or wall-mounted modules: suited for metal structures
Recommended power depending on setup
The power depends on volume to cover and type of activity:
- Individual workstation: 1,800 to 2,400 W
- Packing area 8 to 12 m²: 2,800 to 3,600 W
- Logistics aisle: modular installation of several units in series
Installation advice:
- Installation height between 2.5 and 4.0 meters depending on model
- Mounting on metal frame or specific suspension
- Direct orientation to work zones
- Recommended IP55 protection or higher
Benefits for productivity and energy consumption
By concentrating heat only where needed, radiant heating:
- Reduces overall energy costs
- Improves comfort and productivity of staff
- Limits downtime related to weather conditions
- Enhances workspaces respecting hygiene and safety standards
