What is FIR Technology?
Far Infrared Radiation (FIR) is a type of radiation that is invisible to the naked eye, unlike visible light. Unlike conventional heat sources, FIR can penetrate the skin up to 4 cm deep without warming the surrounding air, delivering a gentle, radiant heat. FIR has been extensively studied and shown to have several beneficial biological effects. Research indicates that FIR can:
-
Enhance Blood Flow: FIR improves circulation by penetrating deep into the tissues, promoting better oxygen and nutrient delivery.
-
Reduce Inflammation: FIR has anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate swelling and discomfort.
-
Accelerate Wound Healing: FIR stimulates cellular repair and regeneration, facilitating faster healing of wounds.
It’s crucial to distinguish FIR heat panels from ordinary infrared heat lamps or panels that use shorter wavelengths. These shorter wavelengths do not provide the same positive biological effects as FIR.

Stallvärme Premium + Solarium
The Stallvärme Premium + Solarium is expertly designed with a focus on your horse’s well-being. Key features include:
-
Silent Operation: The solarium operates quietly, creating a calm environment for your horse.
-
Easy Maintenance: The design allows for straightforward cleaning.
-
Gentle Heat: Utilizes far-infrared radiation to provide a soothing heat that horses find comfortable, similar to how infrared saunas work for humans.
Drying Efficiency: A clipped horse can dry in 15 to 20 minutes with the panels operating at full capacity. For optimal drying, we recommend positioning the Premium + Solarium approximately 30 to 50 centimeters from the horse’s back. The FIR radiation enhances blood circulation in the muscles, which aids in maintaining healthy muscle function and speeds up the drying process.
Health Benefits: Preclinical studies suggest that FIR significantly reduces inflammation and boosts cellular vitality.* Many riders report noticeable improvements in their horses' condition after using the Stallvärme solarium for a warm-up session.
Additional Features:
-
Adjustable Wings: The solarium includes movable wings that can be positioned to suit young horses or stables with low ceilings.
-
Gentle LED Lighting: The LED lights are designed to be easy on the eyes, even during extended grooming sessions.
-
Eco-Friendly Design: With low running costs (4.5 kW), the solarium is energy-efficient. It takes a few minutes to reach its full operating temperature of 110°C (230°F) in temperatures below -5°C, but retains heat even after being turned off.
Safety and Customization:
-
Safety: The Warm & Dry Solarium is designed with no glass or frames, making it safe for both horses and handlers.
-
Customization: The solarium features a customizable plaque and is available in various colors, including the stylish “Kittel” (anthracite). It can be tailored to any RAL color.
