Radiant Heating Solutions for Commercial and Retail Spaces
Keep Team Members and Customers Comfortable and Coming Back
Comfortable customers are happy customers!
When it’s cold outside and customers are coming in and out, it’s almost impossible for retail establishments to keep employees and customers warm using traditional air heaters. Every time doors are opened, warm air escapes. Warm air also rises to the ceiling. Comfort decreases and operating cost increases due to higher fuel bills.
Radiant heaters optimize both comfort and efficiency. Infrared heaters retain heat in the floor and in objects, leaving employees and customers warm and comfortable, even when doors are open.

Energy Efficient Infrared Tube Heating for Military Hangars, Bases, Vehicle Storage Areas and More!
Those who serve deserve to work in a comfortable environment. Military hangars and bases struggle with temperature control due to overhead doors opening constantly. With our infrared heating technology, people, floors, and objects are heated instead of the air, resulting in a consistent, even heat. We’ve partnered with military facilities all over the United States and have the expertise to help you on your next project!
The Eco-Friendly and Effective Heating Solution
Military facility managers are always looking to reduce the amount of energy consumed in the buildings they oversee.

Energy efficient heating options for space and building comfort
What’s the Benefit of Modulating Heaters?
Due to their operation flexibility, modulating infrared heaters have an advantage over standard single and two-stage models. When paired with a modulating thermostat, modulating infrared heaters can cover the full range of heater inputs. As soon as the thermostat calls for heat, the infrared heater begins to heat the room at a minimum btu/h input. Once the space temperature has been satisfied (now operating at maximum btu/h), the heater modulates down to maintain the temperature but while using less energy.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Energy efficiency is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. With modulating infrared heaters, it’s easier than ever to optimize fuel usage while earning a return on investment.

Energy Efficient, Infrared Heating for the Healthiest, Highest Quality Plants
Greenhouses RequireGentle, Even Heat – Just Like the Sun
To produce the healthiest, highest quality plants, greenhouses require gentle, consistent heat. Because the heat from our infrared tube heaters simulates the sun’s warmth, it promotes healthy plant growth by improving soil conditions. At the same time, moisture is eliminated from plants’ surfaces reducing the potential for disease. In addition, our heaters are energy efficient by heating plants, soil, benches and other objects, not the air, letting you focus on growing.
Reduce Heat Loss in Your Greenhouse
Growers rely on knowing the air temperatures in their greenhouses, as nearly all crop recommendations are based on the air temperature required for the best growth. By reducing stratification and producing a consistent heat, you are creating the best environment for your plants.
“We’re seeing phenomenal results with these heaters, even when it drops down to 25 °F out.”

Consistently heating a large, open arena with ineffective heating results in wasted energy and high bills. The CORAYVAC® Infrared Heating System features a unique burners-in-series design that increases fuel savings and comfort, as well as custom options to suit all arena layouts.
Working to radiate warmth to surfaces and people, Roberts-Gordon radiant tube heaters keep players and spectators comfortable. Placed overhead, infrared tube heaters in a sports facility create large, heated areas over active sports areas and stands for visitors. Instead of warm air rising and leaving people cold, proper infrared placement and heater angle direction will create an enjoyable experience for all, while still saving on energy bills. CORAYVAC® is the premier infrared heating system in the industry, delivering high-performance heating solutions to areas of all sizes and specifications.
Warm Air Heaters Versus Infrared Tube Heaters
There are typically two main options when it comes to heating large sports facilities, warm air unit heaters and infrared tube heaters. Warm air heaters stratify the heat and create a large temperature difference between the surface and the ceiling. This is a problem, especially in hockey arenas because the ice surface can become compromised. On the other hand, infrared tube heaters provide heat where you need it most, such as on the bleachers. The result is improved comfort for spectators and reduced operating costs for sports facility owners.

Keep Planes Dry and Workers Warm with Infrared Tube Heaters
Drier Planes, Floors, Tools, and Work Areas
Airplane hangars are built with high ceilings and large, open spaces to house airplanes. Accommodating such a large space with heat can be difficult and expensive. Radiant tube heating replaces heat lost through open hangar doors by creating a warming cycle for the space. It also provides a higher heat volume for the building. Alternate methods of heating are often ineffective in a space with such high ceilings, due to heat rising instead of remaining on the floor.

Infrared heaters are ideal for auto repair shops with open-door service areas. With cars coming in and out all day, heat will also exit through the service doors. Infrared heating will efficiently radiate heat to warm surfaces, machinery, tools, cars, floors, and people. Tube heaters retain heat from the ground up, compensating for warmth lost when service doors are opened. By maintaining the right temperature for vehicles and tools, consistent heat can improve auto shop productivity.
Keep Comfortable While Saving Money.
Aside from enjoying a comfortable workplace, saving on energy bills is a common benefit of investing in infrared heating. Roberts-Gordon has an exclusive collection of infrared heaters suitable for any size shop and heating needs. Our radiant tube heaters are installed at ceiling height around the perimeter, in close proximity to the wall with side extensions for best performance.
CORAYVAC® burners-in-series infrared tube heaters can also be customized for unlimited heating possibilities, saving energy and fuel costs with increased thermal efficiency using modulating controls.

Radiant Tube Heaters for Emergency Vehicle Facilities
Keeping First Responders Comfortable and Ready for the Next Emergency
Keep Vehicles, Personnel and Gear Warm and Dry
Even in the coldest weather, Roberts-Gordon radiant tube heaters ensure first responders’ equipment and clothing will be warm and call-ready. After an emergency, our low-intensity infrared heaters dry vehicles and equipment quickly for when it’s needed next.
Infrared tube heaters are installed in garages above vehicles or along walls with extensions. This placement provides constant heat to dry off vehicles after emergencies in any weather condition. Warm air isn’t wasted when overhead doors open, nor will it be trapped at the ceiling.
Only Roberts-Gordon infrared tube heaters have optional controls that sense outdoor temperature and automatically adjust to the entire heat requirement of the building. Directing warmth to work surfaces, people, and vehicles – infrared heating tubes are an efficient source of heat – without the hefty costs of heating a large vehicle garage with warm air unit heaters.
Forget About Heat Loss in Your Fire Station
The use of infrared heating in large vehicle facilities enhances comfort levels for workers. Traditional heating methods primarily heat the air, which can lead to temperature stratification, with warmer air accumulating at higher levels and cooler air remaining closer to the floor. This temperature difference can cause discomfort for personnel working on the ground level.
The key advantage of using infrared heaters is their ability to trap warmth effectively. When overhead doors are opened, the radiant heat emitted by the infrared heaters is absorbed by the objects and surfaces within the facility. This absorbed heat is then retained for longer periods, minimizing heat loss during the frequent opening and closing of the doors.

Infrared Heating Solutions for Manufacturing Facilities
Keep Your Factory Warm, Comfortable and Productive
Improve Employee Productivity, Focus and Profits
A common complaint among manufacturing workers is the temperature in their workplace. Studies have shown that keeping employees comfortable improves focus, performance, and productivity. Manufacturing facilities with wide, open spaces and high ceilings can be difficult to heat when the wrong heating system is chosen, resulting in uncomfortable workers. Because of the innovative technology behind our radiant tube heaters, thousands of factories across the world are heated with Roberts-Gordon products.
Although most people think of productivity losses in hot conditions, losses in spaces that are too cold can be even greater. Even a 5° F increase in the effective temperature can result in significant productivity gains using Roberts-Gordon infrared heaters.
Consistent Heat Throughout the Entire Warehouse
Infrared heating systems have proven to be highly effective in a warehouse environment. We place our installed warehouse infrared heating systems over the largest and most open areas in the facility for maximum effectiveness, as well as in strategically chosen locations between shelves. Heating large, open spaces as well as various sections of shelves holding products, often results in uneven heating throughout the building with a traditional system. With a warehouse infrared tube heater from Roberts Gordon, you’ll have a custom layout that is designed to provide consistent and even heat throughout your entire warehouse.
CORAYVAC® – Custom Engineered for Your Factory
Every manufacturing facility is different in terms of size, ceiling height, and heat requirement. The CORAYVAC® continuous radiant heating system offers a wide selection of customizable options so it can be designed to the exact specifications of any facility.
