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.
Commercial workshops have a tough heating brief. The shutter is open half the day, the unit is partly insulated at best, and staff move between fixed workstations and bay machinery. Convector or warm-air heating pours money straight out through the shutter every time it opens, and the building never gets close to comfortable.
PowerBoard 750W high-output panels approach it differently. Mount them directly above the bench, the lathe, the joinery line, the welding bay or the assembly area, and your team feels comfortable within minutes regardless of what is happening with the shutter and the surrounding air. The rest of the unit sits at frost protection only.
This is not a domestic garage product. These are industrial-spec radiant panels designed for dusty, busy commercial workshops, joineries, fabrication shops, motor trade, and small manufacturing units.
Mount panels directly above benches, machines, welding bays and assembly tables. Heat goes onto the worker and the work, not into the cold air rising to the apex.
Radiant warmth stays on the people standing under it, even when the shutter is open and cold air is moving through the unit.
Powder-coated steel housing, no moving parts, no water, and 10-year warranty. Designed for dust, vibration and the demands of a busy shop.
No fan noise to interfere with hearing for safety-critical tasks, machine pitch monitoring, or customer phone calls in the office bay.
Welding bay, joinery bench, machine shop and trade counter each run on their own setpoint and schedule.
Heating turns on with the morning bench setup, holds through the working day, drops to frost setback at clock-off. No heating an empty unit overnight.
Targeted radiant heating typically uses 50-70% less energy than warm-air heating across a workshop, because you stop trying to heat the air at all.
Reclaim space currently lost to plant. No LPG storage, no annual gas safety, no propane delivery contract, no fume risk in the shop.
PowerBoard runs silently and continuously without the fume, noise and dehumidifying effect of diesel torpedo heaters or LPG warm-air units.
Approved Code of Practice 13°C minimum for active work, 16°C for sedentary. Targeted radiant comfort hits these reliably at workstations without heating the whole unit.
Stable radiant warmth over a finishing bench helps adhesives, paints and finishes cure consistently, without the fume and air movement of fuel-fired heating.
Industrial-grade construction with no annual servicing requirement. A predictable cost for a serious working environment.
Workshop heating layout depends on bench positions, machine bays, ceiling height and shutter behaviour. Typical starting specs:
The home garage page covers domestic conversions used as gyms, hobby spaces or vehicle storage. This page covers commercial workshops in trade units, joineries, fabrication shops and small manufacturing, where the spec is industrial 750W panels in shift-aware multi-zone configurations rather than a simple two-panel domestic install.
Yes, this is exactly what radiant heating is designed for. Because PowerBoard heats people and surfaces directly rather than air, opening the shutter does not lose the comfort the way it does with a warm-air system.
Yes, with the correct height clearance for the machine and operator stance. Designs include a mounting layout that respects machine envelopes, gantry travel, lighting positions and fire detection.
Yes. PowerBoard panels are sealed, IP-rated for the relevant zones, and have no moving parts or fans to draw in dust. They are well-suited to dusty trades.
No. Spray booths require ATEX-rated equipment and dedicated booth heaters. PowerBoard is not suitable inside a spray booth, but it is widely used in the surrounding workshop and finishing/drying areas.
