The UK's exclusive supplier of the PowerBoard — the first 230V far-infrared heating system that installs flush into your ceiling void, with zero visible hardware.
In retail, comfort is conversion. Cold customers shorten their visit, skip the changing room, and leave with less in the basket. Warm-air systems compromise displays with constant air movement, while overhead radiant gas heaters stand out visually and dry out the front-of-shop atmosphere.
PowerBoard ceiling panels solve this with invisible, silent radiant warmth. Mounted flush into shop ceilings or surface-mounted in heritage buildings, they warm customers and stock directly. There is no air movement to disturb hanging displays, no humming, and no plant equipment to find space for.
Crucially, every zone runs on its own schedule. Front of shop and changing rooms stay at full comfort, stockroom and back office sit at lower setpoints, and frost protection holds out of hours, with the whole system controlled from a phone.
Flush 250W ceiling panels disappear into the shop fit-out. Customers see your products, not your heating system.
Hanging garments, signage, and lightweight POS displays stay perfectly still. Dust does not get blown around the shop.
Radiant heat reaches customers within seconds. The shop never has that "I should keep my coat on" feeling that drives short visits.
A small dedicated panel in each changing cubicle means customers actually try things on, instead of walking out because it is freezing.
Zero noise. No fans, no boilers, no humming overhead. Music, conversation and brand atmosphere are never compromised.
Front of shop pre-heats 30 mins before opening, drops to setback at close, and goes to frost protection at night. Sundays and bank holidays adjust automatically.
Comfortable customers browse longer, try more items, and convert at higher rates than cold ones.
Reclaim back-office or stockroom space typically lost to a boiler. PowerBoard mounts entirely overhead.
Stable radiant warmth without forced air avoids the swings in temperature and humidity that damage premium stock.
A retail unit refit can include heating in the same week as ceiling and lighting works, no plumber required on site.
A typical 80m² shop drops from £1,800/year on gas to under £700/year on grid PowerBoard.
No annual gas safety, no boiler service, no warm-air filters. Just electricity and a 10-year warranty.
Retail heating depends on shop size, ceiling height and door-opening frequency. Two typical starting specs:
Surface-mount panels are powder-coated white as standard and only 12.5mm deep, which suits most modern fit-outs. For heritage interiors we offer custom RAL colour matching and can supply panels with a stone, mirror or printed-image finish to integrate with the design.
Radiant warmth is felt within 10 minutes of switch-on. Most clients schedule the heating to come on 20-30 minutes before opening, so the shop hits full comfort before the first customer walks in.
Because radiant heat warms people and surfaces directly, opening the door does not "lose" the heat the way it does with a warm-air system. The shop returns to comfort within seconds of the door closing.
Yes, the two systems complement each other. PowerBoard handles the bulk of the comfort, an air curtain manages the threshold draught at busy entrance doors. Your designer will recommend whether one is justified for your unit.
Yes. For showroom ceilings above 4m we use the 500W or 750W surface-mount panels instead of integrated 250W. The radiant footprint is larger and the panel count smaller.
