Discover iHelios: The solar-inspired heating solution that your customers probably don’t know about.
As installers and renewable energy professionals look for efficient, low-maintenance, and future-proof heating solutions, iHelios far infrared heating film is making serious waves across the residential and commercial sectors.
At Smart4Solar, we’re proud to be the UK’s go-to wholesale distributor for iHelios. Whether you’re fitting out homes, garden rooms, offices, warehouses or hospitality spaces, this ultra-thin heating film gives you an edge over traditional heating systems. Here's why.
What is iHelios Heating Film?
iHelios is an ultra-thin, far infrared heating film that can be installed under floors, behind walls, or within ceilings to provide clean, silent, and efficient heat. Unlike convection heating systems that warm the air, iHelios heats people and objects directly, just like natural sunlight.
The result? A natural warmth that’s more energy efficient, with zero maintenance and no need for bulky radiators or pipes.
How Does iHelios Work?
Powered by far infrared radiation, the iHelios film converts electricity into radiant heat. Once installed, it heats the surfaces and people in the room rather than the air, delivering even warmth with minimal energy loss.
When paired with smart thermostats and sensors, iHelios becomes an intelligent heating system, adjusting output based on real-time conditions, room occupancy, and even weather forecasts.
Quick & Easy Installation for Professionals
One of the biggest advantages for installers? No water, no pipework, and no moving parts.
- Underfloor installation: Can be laid beneath laminate, engineered wood, LVT or under screed.
- Ceiling installation: Ideal for offices, retail, or rooms with limited floor space – simply integrate above suspended ceiling tiles or plasterboard.
- Wall-mounted heating: Perfect for feature walls or wet rooms, with full waterproofing available.
Each iHelios film comes in pre-sized widths and can be cut to fit, making it fast and cost-effective to install. Most projects take a day or less, and the system can be fully operational immediately after fitting.
