Armstrong Infrared Heaters for Suspended Ceilings

Teplov A-series infrared heaters are designed for installation in Armstrong-type suspended ceilings. The heating panel is integrated directly into the ceiling structure and replaces a standard ceiling section, so the heater does not occupy wall or floor space and remains visually integrated into the interior.

The range includes two models: Teplov A500 and Teplov A1000. They differ in power, dimensions and the number of suspended-ceiling sections occupied by the heater.

Embeddable Infrared Heaters for Armstrong Ceilings

The A-series was developed specifically for rooms with suspended ceilings. The infrared panel is positioned within the ceiling plane and can be used for both primary and supplementary heating.

Depending on the model and operating conditions, the heaters are designed for rooms with ceiling heights of approximately 2.5–3.5 m. Applications include offices, shops and rented premises, schools, kindergartens, medical facilities and other residential and public buildings.

The key feature is that the heating system becomes part of the ceiling structure. During installation, a standard ceiling section is replaced with an infrared panel.

Armstrong Infrared Heater Models

The Teplov A series includes two models:

Teplov A500 — 450 W, 595×595×20 mm, 7 kg.

Teplov A1000 — 930 W, 595×1195×20 mm, 14 kg.

Each model has its own product page with detailed specifications, application information and purchasing options.

Comparison of Teplov A500 and A1000

* Heated area is indicative. Actual heating requirements depend on heat losses, ceiling height, insulation, indoor and outdoor temperatures and the selected heating mode.

Under the manufacturer's stated calculation conditions, A500 is specified at 4–8 m² for primary heating and up to 10 m² for supplementary heating. A1000 is specified at 10–15 m² for primary heating and up to 20 m² for supplementary heating.

Infrared Heater Instead of a Suspended Ceiling Panel

One of the main advantages of the A series is the ability to replace a standard suspended-ceiling section with an infrared heating panel.

Teplov A500 measures 595×595 mm and replaces one ceiling section. Teplov A1000 measures 595×1195 mm and occupies two sections. A1000 is additionally supplied with fixing suspension elements.

As a result, an infrared heater installed in an Armstrong ceiling becomes part of the ceiling structure rather than a separate heating appliance.

This solution is particularly useful where it is important to keep walls and floor space free and preserve the appearance of the interior.

How to Choose an Infrared Heater for an Armstrong Ceiling

Teplov A500 — One Ceiling Section

A500 is designed to replace one standard suspended-ceiling section. Its rated power is 450 W and its dimensions are 595×595×20 mm.

For primary heating, the manufacturer specifies 4–8 m² under stated calculation conditions: heat losses of 100 W/m², −20 °C outside and +20 °C inside. For supplementary heating, the indicative area is up to 10 m².

Teplov A1000 — Two Ceiling Sections

A1000 is designed to replace two standard sections. Its rated power is 930 W and its dimensions are 595×1195×20 mm.

The model can be used for primary and supplementary heating in rooms approximately 2.5–3.5 m high. Under the manufacturer's stated conditions, the indicative area is 10–15 m² for primary heating and up to 20 m² for supplementary heating.

Where Armstrong Infrared Heaters Are Used

Embeddable infrared panels are suitable for rooms where a suspended ceiling is already installed or planned:

• offices;
• shops and commercial premises;
• rented premises;
• schools and kindergartens;
• medical facilities;
• residential premises;
• public buildings.

Instead of installing a heating appliance on a wall, the infrared panel becomes integrated into the ceiling structure.

Primary and Supplementary Heating

Teplov A-series infrared heaters can be used as a standalone heating system or together with an existing heating system.

When selecting the number and power of panels, it is important to consider not only floor area but also ceiling height, heat losses, insulation, required temperature and the intended heating mode.

The heated-area figures in the catalogue should therefore be treated as indicative values for specified conditions rather than universal figures for every building.

Advantages of Infrared Panels in Suspended Ceilings

Integrated installation provides several practical advantages:

• the heating equipment does not occupy wall or floor space;
• the panel is positioned within the ceiling plane;
• a standard ceiling section can be replaced by a heating panel;
• the visual appearance of the ceiling is preserved;
• wiring and communications can remain hidden within the ceiling structure;
• heating can be integrated into an existing interior without wall-mounted heaters.

The A-series panels are only 20 mm thick. The design was developed with attention to keeping the additional load on the suspended-ceiling structure low.

Real-World Armstrong Ceiling Application

Teplov A1000 is used not only in offices and public buildings. One published Teplov project is heating a sewing workshop at the Riksi factory, where A1000 heaters were installed in a room with an Armstrong-type suspended ceiling. The panels replaced standard ceiling tiles.

Buy an Armstrong Infrared Heater

The range includes two A-series models — Teplov A500 and Teplov A1000. The appropriate model depends on the room area, heat losses, ceiling height and required heating mode.

Current prices, availability and specifications are provided on the individual product pages. The A-series heaters have a 3-year warranty.

For a specific project, the required number of panels should be determined based on the actual thermal characteristics of the premises.
