Aircraft & Equipment Hangars
From fighter jets to air ambulances, private craft to commercial airliners, Shadow Industrial's aircraft hangar solutions offer the last word in temperature control.
In bygone times, hangars were notoriously difficult to keep warm. The problem is those huge hangar doors, which are often left wide open for long periods - sometimes even throughout the night if there's a tailfin sticking out.
It can make life especially difficult for mechanics and engineers trying to keep aircraft safe year-round. For guests, meanwhile, stepping out of a warm car into a freezing hangar is pretty unpleasant, too.
Our all-new approach to hangar heating swaps the energy-sapping convection methods of yesteryear for cost-effective infrared electric heaters, which provide instant heat at the touch of a button.
And by creating individual 'zones' around your hangar, we can heat service spaces, waiting areas, loading bays and other parts of the hangar as needed.
It's the ultimate way to heat an aircraft hangar, and our expert team can help with everything from planning a bespoke setup to installation.
Our infrared heaters convert almost all of their energy into heat, making them incredibly energy-efficient. They directly emit radiant heat that warms anyone in their path, rather than heating all the air in your hangar. This targeted approach reduces heat loss through air circulation and cuts down on wasted energy.
Infrared heaters provide instant heat as soon as they are turned on; no warm-up time is required. This rapid response time is especially well suited to hangars where quick heating is required for worker comfort or maintaining specific temperature requirements at different times of the day, such as the evening when night shift workers arrive.
Infrared heating allows for effective zoning within any hangar setting. You can selectively heat specific areas or zones without wasting energy warming parts of the hangar where no one is currently working. This flexibility enables customisation of the heating system based on your precise needs.
Unlike conventional heating systems that warm the surrounding air, infrared heaters emit radiant heat that directly warms individuals that are directly in their range. Being able to target heating like this ensures that people in the hangar receive warmth efficiently, regardless of air movement or draughts.
Infrared heating makes hangars more comfortable for staff to work in or for guests to arrive at. Because it warms people directly, it creates a pleasant sensation that is similar to the warmth of sunlight. This can enhance guest comfort and enable staff to work comfortably and efficiently, boosting productivity.
We have a range of powerful, compact infrared heating solutions that can be mounted on walls or ceilings - this helps save valuable floor space in your hangar. They can be strategically positioned to deliver heat exactly where it is needed most - without obstructing any areas where rapid, easy access is required.
The infrared heating systems we supply have fewer moving parts than most traditional heating systems. This reduces the chances of mechanical failures and the need for regular maintenance. As a result, downtime for servicing can be kept to a minimum, which can result in significant savings over time.

Most companies today want to reduce or eliminate their net contribution to greenhouse gasses - but it can be hard to know where to begin.
What will have the most impact? One focus area for many organisations is their energy use and heating.
Gas-based systems are falling out of favour as they generate significant carbon emissions. Instead, many are turning to electric infrared heating as this offers the potential for zero emissions at the point of use if renewable energy is used to power them.
Infrared is a popular choice as it offers very high-efficiency ratings - up to 98% of energy is converted into heat. Additionally, heat isn't wasted as it can be focused on the areas that need it the most.
