SOS Infrared | ceiling-mounted far infrared heating for healthier homes

A safer, smarter, and more efficient way to heat homes. Designed for social housing, hard-to-heat properties, and energy-conscious landlords.

What is SOS Infrared?

SOS Infrared is a ceiling-mounted far infrared heating system powered by advanced NexGen technology. Installed as a thin paper beneath the ceiling surface, it gently radiates warmth throughout the room, heating people and objects directly, rather than relying on heated air.

This allows for instant comfort, better efficiency, and more consistent warmth across the entire room. With zoned heating, smart controls, and a rapid warm-up time, SOS Infrared not only improves quality of life but helps you reduce tenant energy bills, cut carbon emissions, and eliminate damp and mould.

Who is SOS Infrared for?

  • Social landlords and housing associations -

    Upgrade housing stock with a low-maintenance, energy-efficient heating system that supports tenants and sustainability goals.

  • Local authorities -

    Improve outcomes for residents in hard-to-heat homes while reducing legal risk and the costs of rehousing due to damp or mould.

  • Void property teams -

    Turn empty or problematic properties back into safe, habitable homes with fast, non-invasive installations.

  • New build developers -

    Use a compact, invisible heating system that meets modern energy standards while saving space and cost.

  • Retrofitting contractors -

    Reduce disruption, simplify installs, and improve long-term efficiency across large-scale refurbishment projects.

Key features of SOS Infrared

  • Our core technology is a fraction-of-a-millimetre thick, fire-rated, water-resistant heating paper that’s bonded to the ceiling and painted over for a completely invisible finish. It heats evenly and gently, creating comfortable warmth without radiators or fan units.

  • Each room becomes a separate heating zone with its own thermostat or app-based control. The system warms up in just 1–3 minutes, so users only heat spaces when they need them, saving energy and cost.

  • The system runs on 24V electricity. Even if the paper is damaged, there’s no risk of injury or fire. Surface temperatures stay around 40–50°C, safe to touch and ideal for households with children or vulnerable adults.

  • By gently heating walls directly, SOS Infrared dries out damp faster than traditional systems. Combined with smart humidity sensors, it also prevents mould from returning, keeping tenants safe and properties protected.

  • There are no moving parts, boilers, or filters, and no annual servicing is required. Once installed, SOS Infrared offers 15+ years of efficient, hassle-free heating.

  • No need for plumbing, flues, or external units. A two-bedroom flat can be fitted in as little as three days, even in occupied homes. Suitable for all property types, including those with sloped or artex ceilings.

How does SOS Infrared work?

Ultra-thin heating sheets are custom-cut and bonded to the ceiling, wired into a low-voltage transformer, and controlled by a smart thermostat or app. Once painted over, the system is invisible. It’s silent, safe, and designed to last for years without attention.

What makes SOS Infrared different from traditional heating?

Instead of warming the air (which escapes), far infrared heats people and objects directly, like sunlight on your skin. This makes SOS Infrared far more effective in draughty or poorly insulated homes, reducing heat loss and providing consistent warmth across every corner of the room.

Can SOS Infrared really reduce mould, damp, and legal risk?

Yes. SOS Infrared doesn't just keep tenants warm, it actively dries out damp within walls, reducing the root causes of mould. Smart humidity sensors trigger pre-emptive heating when risk conditions are detected, and the room remains dry without expensive rehousing or remediation works.
