Safe and Comfortable Heating for a Kindergarten in Norway
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.9/5 average rating from 300+ customers
Proven infrared heating solutions for commercial and residential spaces across Europe.
When it comes to heating a kindergarten, safety and comfort are top priorities. Children need a warm, healthy environment to play and learn, without the risks or downsides that come with traditional heating systems. This project at Blåmann Barnehage in Kristiansand, Norway, shows how Sundirect infrared heating panels provide the perfect solution — safe, quiet, efficient, and child-friendly.
Conventional convection heaters can create hot surfaces, uneven warmth, and overly dry air. Infrared heating works differently: it radiates warmth directly to people and objects, distributing heat evenly across the room while maintaining a natural, comfortable atmosphere.
Project Overview
📍 Location: Kristiansand, Norway
🏫 Property Type: Kindergarten (Blåmann Barnehage)
🔥 Installed Heaters: 16 pcs Sundirect PE700 infrared panels (120×60 cm)
⚡ Heating Capacity: 11.2 kW
📐 Heated Area: 140–150 m²
🛠️ Mounting Type: Ceiling-mounted installation
To ensure the highest safety for children, all 16 heaters were mounted on the ceiling. This design prevents any risk of children touching the heaters while providing balanced, efficient heat throughout the classrooms and play areas.
The Infrared Heating Solution
The kindergarten required a system that was high-quality, safe, comfortable, and silent. Sundirect ceiling-mounted PE700 panels met all these needs.
Mounted securely on the ceiling, the panels distribute heat evenly without creating hot spots or cold zones. Unlike convection heaters, infrared panels do not dry out the air, making the indoor climate healthier and more pleasant for children. The quiet operation also ensures that classrooms remain peaceful and focused.
