Yo,

Has anyone here any practical experience with suspended IR (electric)
heating, as you often find in commercial settings?

A friend works in a large workshop area (probably 40' x 40') with a
low ceiling half (under a mezzanine floor) and the other half goes up
to the (steel) roof. Little or no insulation anywhere (and no chance
of fitting any) so I was thinking IR 'person' heating might be the
only viable solution above the bigger open area, really to just make
it more comfortable to work in there, rather than make it warm?

This was solution was considered after going into some of the big
d-i-y sheds and sensing heat on my head and when looking for the
source, seeing the long radiant heaters some 30' above me!

Mind you, we can feel the IR radiation from the sun and that's ~90
million miles away! ;-)

So, can anyone recommend it as a solution for this sort of role and
suggest any specific heaters / suppliers please?

Cheers, T i m
