Wall mounted electric infrared radiant heaters

Activair wall mounted electric radiant heaters are designed for heating small commercial and industrial buildings such as shops, veterinary surgeries, studios, security offices, etc.

They produce beams of medium wave infrared energy which heat people and objects directly without warming the surrounding air. Making them ideal for difficult to heat or drafty buildings, where conventional warm air heating using fan heaters would be uneconomical.

Heavy duty wall mounted radiant heaters

Activair wall mounted radiant heaters are ruggedly constructed from aluminium, coated with a tough powder coat finish. They have no moving parts, are virtually maintenance free, and will provide years of trouble free operation.

Being much tougher than glass tubes, ceramic emitters are much better at withstanding vibration and accidental knocks and shocks.

Glare free infra-red radiant heaters

Activair wall mounted radiant heaters are fitted with ceramic infrared emitters which unlike halogen tubes don't produce an uncomfortable glare. They are are completely harmless to the eye, even after prolonged exposure, and are often used in medical and veterinary applications.

Ceramic infra-red heaters do not produce a distracting red light, so they are suitable for use in photographic studios and areas where colour comparison or matching is taking place.
