The iHelios 500mm Infrared Heating Film Kit is a complete, ready-to-install underfloor and ceiling infrared heating system designed for modern UK homes, extensions, and commercial spaces. This all-in-one electric radiant heating kit includes everything required for installation, making it one of the simplest ways to achieve invisible, energy-efficient heating.

Ideal for new builds, retrofits, garden rooms, log cabins, apartments and commercial units, this ultra-thin system installs under floors or within ceilings, saving space while delivering fast, even heat.
With built-in PTC self-regulation and compatibility with smart thermostats, the system helps optimise energy use automatically, reducing wasted energy and improving comfort.
Backed by a 20-year guarantee, this complete infrared heating kit provides a long-lasting, maintenance-free alternative to traditional heating systems.
What is an infrared heating film kit?
An infrared heating film kit is a complete electric radiant heating system that includes heating film, connectors, wiring and installation materials. It provides a ready-to-install solution for underfloor or ceiling heating without needing additional components.
What is included in this heating kit?
This iHelios kit is supplied with all essential installation components, including:
- Infrared heating film (500mm wide)
- Connectors and crimp lugs
- Jointing and insulation tapes
- Electrical wiring
- Installation guide
This ensures a complete, system-based installation rather than sourcing individual parts separately.
Can this kit be used underfloor?
Yes. The system is designed for underfloor infrared heating beneath suitable floating floors such as laminate and engineered wood, when installed with proper insulation and layout design.
Can this kit be used in ceilings?
Yes. The same system can also be installed as a ceiling infrared heating solution, making it ideal for retrofits or rooms where lifting floors is not practical.
