Heating high industrial and commercial halls in Switzerland requires enormous energy expenditure. Keeping them completely warm is economically hardly feasible. A conventional hall heating system heats the air, which rises and accumulates under the ceiling. Modern infrared radiant heating systems provide a solution. Unlike warm air heating systems, bright heaters bring heat specifically where it is needed:
Radiant heating systems store heat in the building structure and generate virtually no thermal currents. Comparable to the sun, they do not heat the air space, but only the irradiated bodies: floor, walls, machines, people. The radiation creates a feeling of warmth and comfort, independent of the low temperature of the environment. This allows the air temperature in halls to be lowered by 2 - 4°C. Each °C brings about seven percent energy savings.
Bright heaters are indispensable in large halls and industrial facilities for efficient and targeted heating. They support industrial requirements, ensure constant temperatures and create a pleasant working environment. Even at extreme ceiling heights, the heat remains targeted in the occupancy area. The low maintenance effort reduces operating costs.
Discover Industrial Bright Heaters
Commercial operations benefit from the flexible zoning of our bright heaters. These systems create comfortable working environments, drastically reduce energy costs and promote the efficiency of operational processes. They are ideal for areas with changing use such as showrooms, workshops or sales areas. Individual zones can be heated independently, optimizing energy distribution.

Gas heaters revolutionize animal husbandry through targeted heat delivery in animal stables and optimal conditions in greenhouses. Animal welfare is improved and agricultural yields are sustainably increased. They are particularly effective in sensitive phases such as rearing or piglet keeping. The heat radiation supports a healthy stable climate without drafts.

Investment costs are usually low. Thanks to their simple construction, installation is uncomplicated. Due to the absence of rotating parts and robust construction, bright heaters are low-maintenance, which has a positive effect on operating costs.
Bright heaters are extremely efficient and significantly reduce heating costs, as they deliver heat directly to objects and people instead of heating the air. The air temperature, which can be lowered by 2 - 4°C, also contributes to energy savings.
Radiant heating systems prevent heat pockets under the ceiling and ensure an almost uniform temperature distribution in vertical space. This promotes comfort and prevents cold feet, which is particularly advantageous in work areas.
Radiant heating systems move less dust and allergens in the air compared to warm air heating systems, contributing to better air quality in rooms. Radiant heating systems are environmentally friendly and cause low CO2 emissions.
Bright heater heating systems enable flexible operation with multiple independent heating devices in the room, allowing targeted heating of sectors. This allows different temperature zones to be set up as needed.
Bright heaters heat the room quickly after switching on and create a comfortable environment even at low temperatures. Full heating power is reached after 5 minutes. This enables a quick return to the desired room temperature.
Heat losses through walls, windows and roof. Bright heaters reduce these losses through targeted heat delivery.
Energy losses through air exchange. With bright heaters you can lower the room temperature by 2-4°C.
Proven physical principles:
Industrial bright heaters are directly heated by an atmospheric burner and operated with natural gas or liquid gas. The perforated ceramic plates heat up to 950°C and emit infrared rays.
Reflectors direct the radiation specifically into the occupancy area. This prevents temperature stratification as with warm air heating systems.
The result: Direct, efficient heat transfer without energy losses through air heating.
Anyone who as an entrepreneur deals with a system for heating their hall should definitely become familiar with bright heaters. They enable flexible adaptation to different structural conditions. Heating individual workplaces to uniform heating of large and high halls. Heat pockets under the ceiling are avoided. High energy savings, low investment and maintenance costs pay for themselves after just a few years.
Automotive workshops, carpentries and metal companies benefit from targeted heat at workplaces. Our bright heaters create optimal working conditions without drafts and significantly reduce energy costs.

Aircraft hangars and maintenance halls require reliable heating solutions for large spaces. Bright heaters offer efficient heating even at extreme ceiling heights and create optimal working conditions.
Check Hangar Heating SolutionsBright heaters are gas heating devices that are directly heated by an atmospheric burner. They are called "bright heaters" because the generation of infrared rays occurs through visible combustion. The perforated ceramic plates heat up to 950°C and emit infrared rays, which are directed downward into the occupancy area by reflectors.
Bright heaters work on the principle of radiant heat. They transfer heat directly to surfaces and objects instead of heating the air. This happens through:
Warm air heating:
Bright heaters:
No, bright heaters and dark heaters are two different infrared heating systems. Bright heaters work with open combustion and glowing ceramic plates that generate infrared radiation. Dark heaters, on the other hand, have closed combustion and do not emit visible brightness, but generate heat via heated pipes or sheets.
Energy savings typically amount to 30-40% compared to conventional warm air systems. This is achieved through:
Bright heaters do not cause air turbulence like warm air systems, as no fans are used. This means less dust, allergens and pollutants are stirred up, leading to a more pleasant room climate – particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers and in dust-sensitive areas.
Yes, radiant heat distributes very evenly as it acts specifically on floors, machines and people. No cold or heat pockets form under the ceiling. The temperature in the occupancy area is noticeably pleasant and stable – even with high ceilings.
Bright heaters are particularly suitable for large and high rooms:
Bright heaters are particularly efficient in high halls as they radiate heat directly downward. They are optimally suited for:
Bright heaters are ideal for workshops:
Bright heaters are primarily designed for indoor use, but can also be used in protected outdoor areas (e.g. covered loading zones, open warehouses). Important is protection from direct rain and wind, as these can impair heat delivery.

The bright heaters are available in various power levels:
Yes, for special requirements such as dusty, humid or corrosive environments, there are bright heaters with adapted protective coating, stainless steel components or increased corrosion protection. This makes them usable even in demanding areas such as sawmills, foundries or agriculture.
The lifespan of a bright heater is usually 15–20 years or more, with regular maintenance and care. The ceramic plates and reflectors are durable and can be easily replaced if needed.
Installation of bright heaters is uncomplicated thanks to their simple construction:
Yes, bright heaters are very suitable for retrofitting:
Bright heaters are very low-maintenance due to:
Installation and maintenance of bright heaters should always be carried out by a certified specialist company that has the appropriate knowledge in gas installation and heating technology. This ensures operational safety and preserves any warranty claims.
The total price of a bright heater system depends on several factors:
Operating costs are significantly lower than with conventional systems:
Bright heaters can be offered both individually and as part of a complete heating concept. In practice, a complete solution with consultation, device selection, planning, assembly and commissioning is common. This gives you a transparent total calculation including all components and services. Individual devices can also be retrofitted if desired, e.g. for extensions.
Thanks to high energy savings (30–40%), bright heater systems usually pay for themselves within 2 to 5 years – depending on usage, energy prices and hall size.
