As specialists in hot yoga studio heating, we know that there are specific challenges. Yoga studios may have poor insulation and they can be draughty and expensive to heat.
It may be the case that your yoga studio has a convection based system. This is usually ineffective at heating large spaces.
Most of the warm air rises into the ceiling void. Only when the air cools does it descend towards the floor where everyone feels the benefit. These convection currents also draw in outside air through the leaky doors and windows, creating unpleasant cold drafts and cooling the room.
“We love the new heating system and I think that it is brilliant. The warmth generated by the ARC Thermal units feels just like the sun, first thing in the morning. I can programme everything via the app now!” ~ Colin Karslake
Convection based heating also creates problems when adhering to the new COVID-19 guidelines regarding enclosed spaces. Opening windows means that you lose the warm air you have paid to heat. What is more, convection currents facilitate the spread of viruses.
Alternatively, you may have the old style short-wave infrared bar heaters which glow. They are hard to regulate. They create focused areas of heating and leave ‘cold spots’ throughout studio. They also make you ‘hot-headed’, when standing directly underneath them!
As specialists in hot yoga heating, we have a solution for you.
Perfect for hot yoga studios
Thermal heaters create warmth at floor level: perfect for yoga devotees! Avoid cold draughts caused by convection heating. Maintain just the right temperature, throughout the day and into the evening.
Infrared heating for your hot yoga studio
Infrared energy generated by medium and long-wave infrared heaters and panels travels inertly through the air.
It dissipates as heat, upon contact with people and surfaces. This creates a comfortable, all-round radiant warmth at lower air temperature.
The medium-wave heaters are ideal for ambient heating of large spaces like yoga studios, whilst the more gentle long-wave panels are suited to ancillary rooms with lower ceilings.
Infrared heat takes minutes to reach comfortable temperatures. Energy is not wasted in prolonged warm-up times.
If external doors are opened, allowing cold air to enter the studio, radiant heating will recover comfortable temperatures in minutes. The infrared energy is stored safely in the thermal mass of the building, not in the air which has very poor thermal properties.
Infrared is also good for the building. This is in contrast to convection heating, where the moisture held within warm air condenses when it meets a cold surface. In turn, convection heating increases the likelihood of mould, wood rot, salt damp or flaking paintwork.
Infrared warms surfaces directly, which prevents condensation from forming.
