Radiant panel heating for churches and places of worship

Infrared heating: the ideal solution for the needs of religious buildings

Heating a church or a place of worship can be a real challenge: very high ceilings, large volumes and occasional use make traditional heating systems inefficient. That’s why SIABS radiant panels are the ideal solution for heating this kind of building, ensuring full respect for the architectural and liturgical environment.

Church heating: efficient, silent and discreet

SIABS gas radiant panels provide immediate, localised and silent heating, perfect during religious services. Thanks to the radiant system, heat is transferred directly to people and surfaces without heating the entire air volume, achieving significant energy savings.
