| WHAT ON EARTH IS INFRARED?  
HOW DOES INFRARED WARM US UP? REDWELL INFRARED HEATING WORKS BECAUSE FEELING WARM OR COLD DOES NOT HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SURROUNDING AIR - SOMETHING TRADITIONAL CONVECTION BASED HEATING RELIES UPON. THE BODY'S TISSUES NORMALLY PRODUCE INFRARED ENERGY (WHICH IS WHY PEOPLE CAN BE SEEN ON INFRARED CAMERAS) FOR WARMTH AND TISSUE REPAIR. INFRARED ENERGY CAN PENETRATE THE BODY MORE THAN AN INCH TO PROVIDE HEAT DEEP IN THE BODY WHERE IT IS NEEDED. CONVENTIONAL HEATING SYSTEMS ONLY HEAT THE AIR AROUND THE BODY. INFRARED IS THE ENERGY BEHIND THE WARMTH WE FEEL FROM THE SUN, EVEN ON CHILLY WINTER DAYS. AN EXAMPLE FROM NATURE PROVES IT: SKIERS AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS DO NOT FREEZE EVEN IF THEY ARE IN EXTREMELY COLD AIR WHEN THEY ARE BATHED IN THE INFRARED RAYS OF THE SUN. THE PRINCIPLES OF INFRARED HEATING EXPLAIN WHY PEOPLE ON A WINTER SPORTS HOLIDAY ARE ABLE TO ENJOY A SUNBATH AT LOW OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES - WITHOUT FEELING THE COLD. 
| HERE COMES THE SCIENCE BIT THE SUN, WITH A SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF 5875K ACHIEVES A POTENTIAL OF 1,37 KW/M2 (SOLAR CONSTANT). WITHOUT THE SUN THERE WOULD BE NO LIFE! WE EXPERIENCE THE HEAT OF THE SUN DIRECTLY ON OUR SKIN AND BY RAYS REFLECTED BY THE ENVIRONMENT (SNOW, STONES, EARTH ETC) WHEN INFRARED WAVES TOUCH A SURFACE, ENERGY IS RELEASED IN THE FORM OF HEAT, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE SURROUNDING AIR TEMPERATURE. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE SUN'S HEAT TRAVELS MILLIONS OF KILOMETERS THROUGH DEEP COLD SPACE AND STILL WARMS US HERE ON EARTH? THIS PHENOMENON IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES WHICH LIE JUST UNDER THE VISIBLE RANGE OF LIGHT (LAT.INFRA). THESE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES CAUSE MOLECULES TO OSCILLATE AND FREE UP ENERGY, WHICH IS PERCEIVED BY HUMANS AS WARMTH. THE SUN PRODUCES MOST OF ITS ENERGY OUTPUT IN THE INFRARED SEGMENT OF THE SPECTRUM. OUR ATMOSPHERE ALLOWS INFRARED RAYS IN THE 7-14 MICRON RANGE TO SAFELY REACH THE EARTH'S SURFACE. WHEN WARMED, THE EARTH RADIATES RAYS WITHIN THIS BANK, WITH ITS PEAK OUTPUT AT 10 MICRONS.
UNLIKE SHORTER WAVES SUCH AS X-RAY WAVES FOR EXAMPLE, INFRARED WAVES HAVE A VERY POSITIVE EFFECT ON HUMANS. INFRARED HEATING IS WARMTH THAT WE WERE DESIGNED FOR! RADIANT HEAT IS PART OF THE NATURAL LIGHT SPECTRUM OF SUNLIGHT AND A SAFE FORM OF ENERGY THAT HEATS OBJECTS BY A PROCESS CALLED DIRECT LIGHT CONVERSION. RADIANT HEAT WARMS THE OBJECTS AROUND IT WITHOUT AFFECTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SURROUNDING FREE AIR. ALL WARM-BLOODED ANIMALS EMIT INFRARED HEAT, A BENEFICIAL AND ESSENTIAL FORM OF ENERGY THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO PENETRATE, REFRACT, RADIATE AND REFLECT. THE INFRARED RADIATON WHICH IS EMITTED FROM THE HEATING UNITS REACH AN OBJECT IN THE ROOM (WALLS, CEILINGS, FLOORS, INTERIOR OBJECTS) AND IS EITHER ABSORBED BY THEM OR REFLECTED. IN TURN, THE INFRARED WAVES WHICH ARE REFLECTED BY AN OBJECT TOUCH OTHER OBJECTS UNTIL THE WAVES ARE COMPLETLY ABSORBED. | LETS TALK ENERGY 
YOU CAN IMAGINE THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE INFRARED RADIATION IN A ROOM AS BEING SIMILAR TO THROWING A HANDFUL OF RUBBER BALLS INTO THE ROOM - THEY JUMP AROUND UNCONTROLLABLY IN ALL DIRECTIONS. EACH PLACE THAT THEY TOUCH MAKES THEM LOSE PART OF THEIR ENERGY. THE RUBBER BALLS (OR INFRARED WAVES) JUMP AROUND UNTIL THEIR ENERGY IS USED UP, OR IS ABSORBED THROUGHOUT THE ROOM. THE INFRARED WAVES FIRST HEAT THE UPPER MOST LAYER OF THE MASONRY; MOST OF THIS ENERGY IS RETURNED TO THE ROOM (THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE). ONLY APPROXIMATELY 1/6 OR THE ENERGY IS LOST THROUGH THE MASONRY IN THE OUTWARD DIRECTION. INFRARED WAVES DO NOT NEED A MEDIUM FOR PROPAGATION SUCH AS AIR OR WATER. THEY PRODUCE THEIR ENERGY ONLY IN THE CASE OF THE IMPACT ON A SURFACE, EG: THE EARTH'S SURFACE - OR A WALL. | IS INFRARED HEATING A NEW TECHNOLOGY? 
NO! HEATING WITH INFRARED RAYS IS AS OLD AS THE USE OF FIRE BY MAN. STONE, CLAY WERE FIRST USED TO RETAIN WARMTH INTO THE STRUCTURE OF A BUILDING. THIS PRINCIPLE STILL SUPPLIES US WITH COSY HEATING TO THIS DAY IN THE FORM OF EUROPEAN TILED STOVES. THE ROMAN HYPOCAUST THE ROMAN HYPOCAUST SYSTEM IS WELL KNOWN AS THE FIRST CENTRAL INFRARED HEATING SYSTEM. THE ROMANS CONSTRUCTED IT TO BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND STEAM - THE WALLS BECAME WARM THROUGH CONDENSATION HEAT. MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND INVENTIVE DESIGN . 
REDWELL INFRARED PANELS ARE ECONOMICAL TO RUN AND SIMPLE TO INSTALL. THE NEW WAVE OF CENTRAL HEATING | TRADITIONAL CONVECTION HEATING V REDWELL INFRARED HEATING THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE BENEFITS OF REDWELL INFRARED HEATING SYSTEMS OVER TRADITIONAL FORMS OF HEATING TO BUILDINGS AND THE INSTALLATION PROCESS. | CONVECTION HEATING | INFRARED HEATING | 
| 
| DAMP AIR CREATES MILDEW AND DESTROYS MASONRY | OBJECTS AND MASONRY STAY DRY AND INTACT | INSULATION NECESSARY BEHIND HEAT SOURCE TO PREVENT COLD WALLS AND CHILLING IN THE ROOM | NO INSULATION NECESSARY. WALLS AND OTHER OBJECTS HEAT THE ROOM | TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES WITHIN THE ROOM CAUSE DRAUGHTS | NO HEAT LAYERING AND NO DRAUGHTS | EXPENSIVE TO BUY, INSTALL AND OPERATE, STORAGE OF FUEL, INSTALLATION OF FLUES / PIPES / CHIMNEYS | ECONOMICAL TO PURCHASE, ENERGY SAVING OPERATION MEANS NO FLUES, NO CHIMNEYS, NO FUEL TANKS OR PIPES | MOVING PARTS REQUIRE SERVICING AND MAKE PRODUCT LIFE UNCERTAIN | NO MOVING PARTS. PRODUCT LIFE EXCEPTIONALLY LONG. NO MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SO NO INTERIM EXPENSES | COSTLY TO UPGRADE HEAT SOURCE (EG BOILERS, CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM) PERMANENT HEATING | CHEAP TO UPGRADE AND CAN BE TAKEN WITH YOU WHEN YOU MOVE HOUSE | COMPLICATED AND EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL | CAN BE SIMPLY AND QUICKLY INSTALLED - UP AND RUNNING IN 10 MINUTES |
BENEFITS FOR BUILDINGS AND INTERIORS  WHEN HEATING AND MAINTAINING HISTORICAL BUILDINGS, A REDWELL INFRARED HEATING UNIT IS PREFERABLE BECAUSE, AS A RULE, THE WALLS OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS OFTEN EXHIBIT A HIGHER MOISTURE CONTENT. BY KEEPING THE TEMPERATURES AT A MODERATE LEVEL WITH REDWELL HEATING SYSTEMS, WATER CONDENSATION IS PREVENTED. THIS MEANS DRY MASONRY, HEALTHY PLASTER AND CONTINUOUSLY BEAUTIFUL FRESCOS. UP UNTIL THE INTRODUCTION OF AIR HEATING SYSTEMS, OLDER BUILDINGS WERE TYPICALLY HEATED BY STOVES OR BURNERS (AS OPPOSED TO CONVECTION). AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF AIR HEATING SYSTEMS HOWEVER, INTENSIVE MEASURES BECAME NECESSARY EVERY FEW YEARS AGAINST MOULD, FUNGUS, SALT, DAMP, SURFACE CONTAMINATION, SUBSURFACE ROT AND OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS IS BECAUSE CONVECTION HEATING CREATES WARM AIR CURRENTS WHICH CARRY DIRT AND MOISTURE AND CREATE WARM AIR - BUT COLD WALLS (WHERE WARM AIR CONDENSES).  RADIANT HEATERS HEAT OBJECTS IN THE ROOM ITSELF AND NOT THE AIR, MEANING GENERALLY COOLER ROOM AIR TEMPERATURES AND WARMER OBJECTS, THEREFORE WARM, DRY, MOULD FREE WALLS AND FURNISHINGS. THIS MAKES INFRARED RADIANT HEAT PANELS IDEALLY SUITED TO LISTED AND HISTORICAL BUILDINGS. WHEN ROOMS ARE PROPERLY HEATED WITH INFRARED HEATING SYSTEMS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOULD AND MILDEW IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE MOISTURE CONDENSATION CANNOT OCCUR (EVEN IN THE CASE OF ROOMS WHICH ARE NOT AIRED OFTEN). BECAUSE OF THIS, MOIST OR WET MASONRY IS EVENTUALLY DRIED OUT. THIS RESULTS IN A PLEASANT AND HEALTHY ROOM CLIMATE. THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF DAMP MASONRY IS SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER (HIGHER U-VALUE) THAN THAT OF DRY MASONY. THIS MEANS THAT DAMP WALLS CONDUCT HEAT AWAY WHEREAS DRY WALLS TEND TO ABSORB AND REFLECT. DUE TO LOWER U-VALUE OF DRY MASONRY, SUBSTANTIAL ENERGY SAVINGS ARE ACHIEVED WITH USE OF THE REDWELL INFRARED HEATING SYSTEM. NOT ONLY DO MOULD AND MILDEW BELONG TO THE PAST - SALT DAMP IS ALSO STOPPED. | OTHER BENEFITS 
INFRARED WAVES ARE THERMAL. IN OTHER WORDS, WE EXPERIENCE THESE TYPE OF INFRARED WAVES EVERY DAY IN THE FORM OF HEAT. HEAT THAT WE FEEL FROM A FIRE OR A SUNWARMED PAVEMENT - ALL INFRARED. THE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE NERVE ENDINGS IN OUR SKIN CAN DETECT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INSIDE BODY TEMPERATURE AND OUTSIDE SKIN TEMPERATURE. A REDWELL HEATING UNIT DELIVERS A DRY COMFORTABLE HEAT. THE INFRARED WAVES REDUCE HUMIDITY IN THE AIR, MAKING IT A POOR ENVIRONMENT FOR MOULD OR FUNGUS. MOULD CAN GROW INSIDE YOUR HOME AND IT LOVES MOIST AND HUMID CONDITIONS. COMMON HEALTH PROBLEMS WITH CONVENTIONAL HEATING SYSTEMS MOULDS CAN MAKE ALLERGIES AND ASHTMA SYMPTOMS WORSE. PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE A WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEMS OR ARE RECOVERNG FROM SURGERY MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS FROM MOULDS. MOULD CAN GROW WITHOUT SCENT OR VISIBLE SIGNS, HIDDEN BEHIND WALLS AND FLOORING. EVEN THOUGH MOULD IS A NATURAL OCCURRING FUNGUS, IF ITS IN YOUR HOME, FAMILY MEMBERS MAY EXPERIENCE RESPIRATORY HEALTH PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: NASAL CONGESTION / RUNNY NOSE / EYE IRRITATION COUGHING AGGRAVATION OF ASTHMA FATIGUE HEADACHES DIFFICULTY IN CONCENTRATING REDWELL INFRARED HEATING FOR A HAPPIER HEALTHEIR HOME! INFRARED HEATS US DIFFERENTLY, ITS WAVES HAVE BEEN USED FOR YEARS TO TREAT VARIOUS CONDITIONS SUCH AS ARTHRITIS AND ARE KNOWN TO HAVE A BENEFICIAL EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEM.
