Infrared Heating for Garages and Workshops
Garages are no longer just spaces for parking vehicles. Many homeowners use them for hobbies, workshops, home gyms, or even as additional storage and workspaces. However, one thing that remains consistent is how cold and uncomfortable garages can become in the winter months. Unlike the main home, garages often lack proper insulation and are affected by constant door openings, allowing heat to escape quickly.
Conventional heating methods, such as electric radiators or convection fan heaters, often fail to provide effective warmth in these draughty spaces. They heat the air, which escapes easily, especially when the doors are open. This results in wasted energy and high electricity bills. Infrared heating solves these issues by delivering targeted radiant heat to people and objects, not the air, which is perfect for garages and outbuildings.
Infrared panels are slimline, safe to mount on ceilings or walls, and ideal for creating a usable, warm environment even in harsh conditions. Whether you’re working on your car, building a project, or simply using your garage as a retreat, infrared provides cost-effective, fast, and reliable warmth. They are especially well-suited for spaces with limited insulation and airflow, providing consistent heat regardless of ambient air changes.
Our heaters are available with built-in or external thermostat control, giving you flexibility and full control over energy usage. It’s the ultimate garage heating upgrade — efficient, modern, and tailored to your needs.
