What is quartz heating?
Quartz heaters work like the sun, radiating their heat instantly to
the person or objects within their beam. It is the most effective
way to warm people, as there is no warm up period. Also, as the air
in between remains unheated no heat is lost to draughts, open doors
or high roof spaces. This form of heating is ideal in part-occupied
buildings as the heating can be zoned and controlled.
