Hello,
I attempted to post a request about infrared heaters in January but I'm not =
sure
it got through. If it did please forgive this redundancy.
I am contemplating the replacement of the cantankerous oil furnace
in my studio. In researching possiblilties I came across infrared
heaters. Is there any one out there using these? I have a 1000
square foot space with 10 foot ceilings broken up into 2 rooms. I
love the idea of the floor being warm and radiating heat upwards
rather than having to cope with the draft (WIND) caused by furnace
blowers. I am however concerned with the effect of this type of heat
on drying wares. Anybody with any advice from experience? Or
other workspace heating suggestions that are friendly to pots and
potters, preferably using natural gas as a heat source?
TIA,
Eleanor Hendriks

Hi Eleanor,
Do you have natural gas in your studio or do you intend to use
electricity?

TIA,
I'm getting ready to move into a studio with infrared heat.
Unfortunatly I have yet to experience its effects on drying wares. I
think that you would experience more even drying due to the lack of
moving air. I do know that one advantage to this type of heat is that
when you open a door to the outside you will not loose as much heat as
you would with hot air heat. The people I talked to highly recomended
it as a heat source. Sorry this is not much help. If I find out more I
will let you know.
