One particularly effective method is the use of infrared heating plates. In this blog post, we explain why infrared heating plates are ideal for building drying and how they can optimize the drying process when used in combination with other devices such as condensation dryers and fans.<\/h2>\n<h2><!--more--><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Why infrared heating plates for building drying?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Infrared heating plates offer an excellent solution for building drying and restoration. Infrared heating of suitable wall materials creates a temperature gradient that induces capillary moisture transport towards the heated wall surface. Unlike slow diffusion, this method can transport significantly more moisture from the wall in a shorter period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The process works as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The infrared radiation penetrates deeply into the wall and heats it.<\/li>\n<li>The resulting temperature gradient causes the moisture to be capillarily transported to the heated surface.<\/li>\n<li>At the wall surface, the moisture enters the room and diffuses into the room air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"trotec-shop-products\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row product\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-sm-3 product-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/en.trotec.com\/shop\/infrared-heating-panel-tih-400-s.html\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trotec.com\/fit-in\/500x500\/filters:format(jpg)\/en_DE\/1410003010\/Infrared-Heating-Panel-TIH-400-S-134031-1617718657.jpg\" alt=\"Infrared Heating Plate \/ Infrared Heater TIH 400 S\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-sm-9 product-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/en.trotec.com\/shop\/infrared-heating-panel-tih-400-s.html\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"product-name\">Infrared Heating Plate \/ Infrared Heater TIH 400 S<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"product-short-description\">Infrared Heating Plate TIH 400 S, The TIH 400 S is suitable both for drying solid masonry following renovation, and for&hellip;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-price\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"action-price-gross\">\u20ac89.99<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"base-price-gross old-price\"><small><s>\u20ac149.99&nbsp;MSRP<\/s><\/small><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"price-tax-incl\">Incl. statutory VAT<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/en.trotec.com\/shop\/infrared-heating-panel-tih-400-s.html\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTo the product\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Accelerating the drying process with dehumidifiers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The use of infrared heating plates alone is already very efficient, but the drying process can be further accelerated when combined with Trotec dehumidifiers.
