ECOFILM Ceiling Infrared Heating Film

Low-profile hidden ceiling heating for efficient whole-room radiant warmth.

The ECOFILM Ceiling Infrared Heating Film is a discreet electric radiant heating system designed for installation above plasterboard or ceiling finishes. Hidden completely from view, it delivers comfortable, even warmth from above while keeping walls and floors free for furniture, storage and interior design.

Unlike radiators or convection heaters, ECOFILM works by warming people, surfaces and objects directly. This helps create a more natural and comfortable indoor climate with less wasted heat and improved room-by-room efficiency.

If you are new to radiant heating, read our Infrared Heating Guide to understand how it compares with traditional heating systems.

How Ceiling Infrared Heating Works

ECOFILM uses low-profile electric heating film installed across suitable ceiling areas. Once powered, it radiates warmth downward into the room, helping create even comfort across occupied spaces.

• No bulky radiators on walls
• No fan noise or circulating dust
• No cold spots caused by poor airflow
• Comfortable radiant warmth throughout the room

Ideal for New Builds & Renovations

ECOFILM is ideal for projects where you want modern invisible heating integrated into the fabric of the building.

• New build homes
• Extensions and loft conversions
• Refurbishment projects
• Open-plan living areas
• Offices and commercial interiors
• Retail spaces and corridors

Because the heating is hidden above the ceiling finish, you retain full use of wall space and cleaner interior lines.

Heating Output & Performance

ECOFILM ceiling heating is commonly rated at 200W/m² and supplied in practical film widths for even room coverage. Correct design and sizing are essential for best results.

Use our Heat Loss Calculator to estimate the output required for your room or project.

• Even room comfort
• Fast heat response
• Suitable for single rooms or whole-property systems
• Works well in modern insulated homes

Energy Efficiency & Running Costs

Because infrared heat targets people and surfaces directly, ECOFILM can help reduce wasted energy compared with systems that mainly heat air.

• Efficient room-by-room control
• Useful for zoning strategies
• Can run effectively at lower air temperatures
• Pairs well with solar PV and smart tariffs
• No boiler servicing or wet system maintenance

Smart Controls & Zoning

ECOFILM performs best when paired with thermostats and smart controls, allowing independent room control and reduced energy use in unused spaces.

• Individual room thermostats
• Daily and weekly scheduling
• App control options
• Zoned heating layouts
• Lower running costs through smarter control
