Dental practices need heating that doesn\'t move air

PowerBoard ceiling panels do exactly what dental needs: they radiate warmth onto the patient and clinical surfaces directly, while moving precisely zero air. They don\'t blow aerosol around. They don\'t recirculate. They don\'t compete with the practice\'s ventilation or air-purification strategy. And they\'re completely silent.

Each surgery, decontamination room, waiting area and reception runs on its own thermostat with its own schedule, so the building only ever heats what\'s being used.

Watch our introduction to infrared heating, the technology behind every PoweRad dental practice installation.

Why infrared suits dental practices

No air movement, silent operation, per-surgery scheduling – all critical to modern dentistry.

Zero air movement during AGPs

Infrared moves no air at all. It does not compete with or compromise the practice's aerosol-management strategy or ventilation regime.

Silent during procedures

Zero fans, zero pumps. Nothing competes with the high-speed handpiece for the patient's attention or the clinician's focus.

Per-surgery temperature control

Each surgery, decontamination room and reception runs on its own thermostat – comfortable for both the seated patient and the standing clinician.

Benefits of PowerBoard for your dental practice

Lower running costs

A typical 4-surgery practice (220m²) drops from £3,500/year on gas to £1,400–£1,900/year on grid PowerBoard.

No fans recirculating aerosol

Particularly valuable post-pandemic. PowerBoard adds no air-movement risk to the surgery during AGPs.

No annual gas safety, no boiler service

Remove the LGSC, the service contract, and the breakdown risk mid-clinic. Replaced by a 10-year product warranty.

Reception ready first thing

Surgeries and reception reach setpoint within minutes – no need to leave heating on all night just so the practice is warm at 8am.

Reclaim the plant room

No boiler, no flue – the plant room becomes additional decontamination space or storage.

Phased install around lists

Each surgery takes hours, scheduled around lists or evenings. No need to close the practice.
