Tansun offers a cutting-edge approach to dojo heating, successfully heating an array of martial arts studios, schools and centres across the UK. Our high-quality quartz infrared space heaters are not only powerful but also economically efficient, making them the optimal choice for creating a comfortable environment in these unique spaces.
Dojos and martial arts studios present a specific set of challenges when it comes to maintaining a comfortable temperature. These spaces are characterised by an open layout and high ceilings making them traditionally difficult areas to heat efficiently. Conventional heating methods, such as gas and blow air heaters, can be expensive and ineffective in providing the required warmth – often blowing air into the whole volume of space, which typically rises.
Dojos are typically used intermittently, with heating needs arising only during training sessions or classes. Traditional heating systems might require prolonged pre-heating periods to achieve a comfortable temperature when the space is to be used. Tansun’s solution to studio heating addresses these challenges with a range of UK-engineered infrared heaters which are designed for instantaneous heat with 100% efficiency at source, eliminating the need for excessive pre-heating.
BENEFITS OF TANSUN INFRARED HEATERS FOR DOJO HEATING
Tansun’s high-quality infrared space heaters utilise shortwave technology, providing instant heat and a warm glow when and when needed. The heaters can be wall or ceiling-mounted and targeted directly at training areas and can simply be switched on for instant heat before each training session or class. Tansun also offer more discreet ceramic and panel heaters which have a slightly longer wave and a warm-up time of a few minutes, comfortably warming spaces without the glow. With additional controls, heaters can also be dimmed and controlled to reduce temperature as martial artists begin to warm up during training – offering full flexibility.
Tansun heaters are maintenance-free and designed with efficiency in mind, ensuring that energy is only used to heat the space when it is in use. This can lead to substantial cost savings compared to traditional heating methods which require pre-heating and have annual servicing requirements. In addition, using our free heater design scheme, our experts can assist with positioning our Tansun heaters to offer unmatched coverage. For dojos or martial arts studios, this can be targeted at cold mats and visitor stands or seating areas.
Using British manufacturing processes, our heaters are manufactured on-site at our production hub in the West Midlands and feature components such as robust guards to protect filaments inside. Our heaters therefore benefit from a fit-and-forget reputation and offer thousands of hours of use.
Our heaters also provide warmth without leaving the space feeling stuffy, creating a fresh and comfortable environment ideal for the physical activities conducted in dojos, martial arts studios, schools or centres. Infrared heating is not impacted by air or dust movement (unlike gas) producing a healthier environment, particularly for any students who may have asthma symptoms or breathing challenges.
Our easy-to-control heating systems offer full flexibility according to your usage habits and can come equipped with remote controls, time lag switches and PIR presence detectors for a fully automated system designed to suit your dojo needs. With additional controls, Tansun heaters can be controlled or dimmed down, unlike gas which is on or off. Therefore, as martial arts warm up the heaters can be turned down or switched off at the flick of the switch during training sessions where students may get too warm.
