Ever since the onset of the industrial revolution and the beginning of manufacturing, factories and industrial buildings have struggled to retain heat and keep workers warm. Since the development of the most basic heating technology, the industrial heating market has grown from strength to strength. Here at Heaters Wholesale, we’re committed to remaining at the very forefront of market leading innovation, but we’re only able to do this by learning from the past. The case in point is how popular radiant heating has become in recent years, compared to more traditional warm air heating systems. Both are worth investing in, but radiant heating represents the most eco – friendly option.

By their very nature, factories are cold and draughty places. Many were built some time ago, before heat loss was a major concern, and even modern units can often be constructed hurriedly, with little thought to saving heat and energy. Combine these design features with the inevitable limitations of warm air heating, and companies can spend over the odds to keep employees warm.

For example, the high ceilings found in many industrial buildings tend to lead to a process known as stratification, whereby the air in the room arranges itself into layers of temperature, ascending from cold air at floor level to warmer air up near the ceiling.

By contrast, our radiant heating here at Heaters Wholesale works by a process called radiation, whereby heat is transferred by infrared rays directly to nearby workers. As this reduces the likelihood of stratification, it means that companies can more closely control the direction and flow of heat, thus allowing them to use the money spent on heating more efficiently.

Take a look around your industrial property; do you have high ceilings or regularly used loading bay doors through which hot air can escape? Are you spending a fortune on heating bills? If so, your industrial heating methods could require re-evaluation; please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team to discuss how to make the most of more contemporary technology.

Now that the clocks have gone back, the days are appearing shorter and there is a constant chill in the air – not to mention a frost on the floor first thing in the morning, it’s important that you have your warehouse sufficiently heated for your workers. Finding the right type of heating system to help you beat the winter weather can be a difficult task, but here at Heaters Wholesale, we’ve compiled a brief list of some of industrial heating systems we provide.

For more than the last twenty years, here at Heaters Wholesale we’ve been providing businesses throughout the UK with a wide range of industrial heating systems, which include the following.

Gas Suspended Units:

Due to the compact design of these units they require limited space, making them ideal for warehouses and business where space is at a premium.

Gas suspended units are also easy to install, maintain and operate; whilst being suitable for use with both natural gas and Liquefied Petroleum Gas.

Radiant Heating:

Perhaps one of the most efficient industrial heating systems we stock at Heaters Wholesale, radiant heating works in a different way to your normal heating systems. Whilst gas suspended units and floor standing units circulate hot air around a building, radiant heating acts more like an oven and heats the people and objects within.

As it heats the area in this way, installing a radiant heating system is a sensible suggestion for all large industrial units, as it heats the area quicker and maintains the heat for longer.

Here at Heaters Wholesale, we promise that depending on your heating needs and the size of the area that requires the heat, we’ll be able to provide you with an industrial heating system which will help you beat the winter cold. All the heating systems we stock will not only help heat the required area, but used effectively, they’ll also help to save you money in the long run.
