Your building is colder
than your thermostat reads.
A thermostat only measures air. It tells you nothing about your walls, doors, equipment, or floors. Heating a building means heating all of it.
Two shops. One January night. Completely different buildings.
The thermostat in both shops was satisfied. These surface temperatures were measured at the same time, in the same extreme cold.
| Floor | 69.9°F |
| Tractor | 55.7°F |
| Concrete Wall | 51.1°F |
| Metal Door | 42.1°F |
| Vac Truck | 68.2°F |
| Truck | 67.4°F |
| Ceiling | 65.6°F |
| Wall | 63.5°F |
We heat the building.
Not just the air inside it.
Most heating systems warm air and rely on convection to carry that warmth through the space. In a large shop or barn — with cold walls, overhead doors, heavy equipment, and ceilings that trap warm air — the air loses. You burn fuel and your walls stay cold.
Reflect-O-Ray delivers infrared energy directly to surfaces — walls, doors, equipment, concrete, steel. Those surfaces absorb it, warm up, and re-radiate heat back into the space. The building itself becomes the heat source.
Built for the environments
where heating is hardest.
Every application has different demands. Reflect-O-Ray is sized and specified for your actual building — ceiling height, use case, and climate.
Shops & Garages
Where the gap between what the thermostat says and what the building feels costs the most. Freeze-ups, condensation, cold equipment — solved.
Explore →Poultry
Uniform floor-level warmth from day one. Bird distribution, litter condition, and feed conversion all follow the heat.
Explore →Livestock & Dairy
Dry bedding, condensation-free ceilings, consistent comfort from the calf barn to the parlour.
Explore →Greenhouses
Even temperature without the humidity swings that damage plants and drive mould.
Explore →Industrial & Warehouses
Large-volume spaces demand scalable solutions. Zoned, patterned, and built to the work.

If you want to understand exactly why one building had a 28°F spread and the other had under 5°F — these articles explain it fully.
The Hidden Temperature in Your Shop
What your thermostat reads and what your building actually is are two completely different numbers. Real data from two Western Canadian shops at −35°C.
Underfloor Heating: The Uncomfortable Truth
Heat rises — so heating from the floor down seems logical. Here is what actually happens in a large, ventilated shop when you follow the physics all the way out.

Rust on the hinges. Stains on the door. Wet ceiling in the morning. This is not a moisture problem — it is a temperature differential problem.
