Radiant Panels: Energy-Efficient Heating for Modern Spaces

When it comes to heating solutions, energy efficiency is more important than ever. SPC’s radiant heating and cooling panels are designed to deliver targeted, cost-effective warmth while reducing energy consumption.

What Makes Radiant Panels Energy Efficient?

Direct Heating for Comfort:
Unlike traditional systems that warm the air, radiant panels heat people and objects directly, just like how the sun works. This eliminates energy waste from heating unused airspace and ensures faster comfort for occupants.

Zoned Heating Flexibility:
Radiant panels can be installed in specific areas, allowing you to heat only the spaces that are occupied. This precision reduces unnecessary energy usage and operating costs.

Optimised for Low Water Temperatures:
Designed to operate effectively with low-temperature water systems, radiant panels are an excellent match for renewable energy sources like heat pumps. This supports decarbonisation efforts while maintaining performance.

Why Choose SPC Radiant Panels?

  1. Fast Response Time:
    Radiant panels quickly warm spaces, reducing the need for prolonged operation and lowering energy bills.
  2. Sustainability Built In:
    By consuming less energy and working seamlessly with low-carbon systems, SPC radiant panels help reduce carbon footprints and meet sustainability targets.
  3. Versatility for Any Environment:
    Whether in offices, classrooms, sports halls, or industrial facilities, radiant panels deliver efficient heating without compromising on design or functionality.
  4. Durable and Long-Lasting:
    Built with high-quality materials, SPC radiant panels are designed to withstand demanding environments while maintaining efficiency over time.

Tailored Mounting Options for Every Space

SPC radiant panels are available in a variety of mounting styles to suit different applications, including:

  • Ceiling-Mounted Panels for discreet integration into T-bar grids
  • Wall-Mounted Panels with angled brackets for targeted heating
  • Free-Hanging Panels for modern, suspended designs in open spaces
  • Sportsline Panels with ball guards for durability in sports facilities

Enhancing Fan Convector Flexibility and Efficiency: Introducing SPC’s Extended Casings & Modulo v3 Controller

At SPC, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that enhance comfort, efficiency, and control for heating applications. In line with this, we’re excited to introduce two new options for our Belgravia Fan Convectors – Extended Casings and the Modulo v3 Controller. These upgrades are designed to streamline installation, improve energy efficiency, and provide greater control flexibility, meeting the needs of our customers.

Extended Casings for Belgravia Fan Convectors

Our new Extended Casings offer an integrated approach, housing valves within the unit’s body for a cleaner, more streamlined look. Here’s what makes this option particularly advantageous:

  • Space Efficiency: By allowing valves to be enclosed within the unit itself, the extended casing maintains a sleek appearance without the need for external pipework.
  • Flexible Valve Integration: Valves can be either user-supplied or sourced from SPC, depending on the project’s requirements. If provided by SPC, the valves and corresponding actuators will be delivered loose, ready for on-site installation.
  • Automatic Temperature Control: When integrated with our Modulo v3 controller (detailed below), these units can close their water valves automatically as the room temperature reaches the setpoint, making it easier to maintain consistent comfort levels while optimising energy use.

These extended casings match the width of the next standard unit size up, providing additional options for installations requiring a balance of size and function.

Modulo v3 Proportional Controller: Simple, Efficient, and Precise

Building on the success of the Modulo v2, our Modulo v3 Controller introduces enhanced control capabilities. This wall-mounted thermostat/controller is designed specifically for fan-assisted heaters with EC/brushless DC motors, making it an ideal match for our SPC Belgravia Fan Convectors.

Key Features and Benefits of the Modulo v3 Controller:

  • Advanced Proportional Control: The Modulo v3 works by monitoring the room temperature and automatically adjusting fan speed as the setpoint temperature is approached. This ensures precise control over room temperature, reducing fan speed gradually as the space nears the desired setpoint for maximised energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
  • Simple, User-Friendly Interface: Featuring an intuitive design, the Modulo v3 is activated by a simple touch, allowing users to adjust setpoints effortlessly. This simplicity in operation minimises user interaction, making it a straightforward solution for any setting.
  • Optional Relay Box for Valve Control: For added control, the Modulo v3 offers an optional relay box that can be fitted inside the unit to control an on/off valve. This feature enables the system to fully close the flow of hot water once the set temperature is reached, conserving energy and further enhancing efficiency.

Both the Modulo v3 and the extended casings represent SPC’s ongoing commitment to providing products that combine simplicity, functionality, and efficiency. Designed to meet the demands of modern heating systems, these upgrades make SPC Fan Convectors even more versatile.

Radiant Panel Mounting Options: Tailored Solutions for Every Space

Selecting the right mounting type for your radiant panels is essential for achieving both aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency. SPC offer a variety of mounting options designed to meet the diverse needs of different environments.

Ceiling Mounted Radiant Panels

Our ceiling-mounted panels are designed for easy integration into T-bar ceiling grids, typically based on a 600mm square pattern. While these panels rest within the grid, safety is a priority, and they must be securely fixed to the ceiling. Standard installations include brackets suitable for wire hanging, with rod hanging options available upon request.

Free Hanging Radiant Panels

For a modern, suspended look, our free-hanging panels are ideal. They are independently supported from the ceiling using wire hangers, with a sleek aluminium trim around the perimeter. This option is perfect for spaces with open ceilings or where a floating appearance is desired.

Sportsline Radiant Panel (with Ball Guard)

In sports facilities, safety and durability are key. Our Sportsline panels come equipped with plastic ball guards, preventing balls or shuttlecocks from becoming lodged on top of the panels. This feature ensures both longevity and safety in high-activity environments.


Plasterboard Mounted Radiant Panels

When integrating radiant panels into plasterboard ceilings, we provide a special frame for a secure and level installation. The frame attaches to the panel’s perimeter, and screws are tightened into wooden battens for additional support. This method ensures a neat and professional finish.
