ECOFILM Ceiling Heating Element – 600mm Wide Roll
Flexible infrared ceiling heating for larger areas and custom layouts.
The ECOFILM Ceiling Heating Element (600mm wide, 25m roll, 100W/m) is a high-coverage infrared heating film designed for ceiling installation in both residential and commercial environments. Supplied in roll format, it allows for tailored layouts and efficient coverage across larger spaces, making it ideal for projects where flexibility and performance are key.
Installed above plasterboard ceilings, ECOFILM transforms the entire ceiling surface into a low-temperature radiant heat source, delivering consistent, comfortable warmth without visible heaters or wall-mounted units.
Designed for Flexible Heating Layouts
Unlike fixed-size panels, this 600mm film roll format allows installers to:
- Cut and configure heating zones to suit the room layout
- Maximise coverage across larger or irregular ceiling areas
- Work around lighting, ventilation, and ceiling features
- Create efficient heating designs for both single rooms and full properties
This makes it particularly effective for:
- Open-plan living areas
- Whole-home heating systems
- Commercial spaces, offices and retail environments
- Schools, corridors and larger rooms
How Infrared Ceiling Heating Performs
ECOFILM heating works by radiating heat downward from the ceiling, warming people, floors and surfaces directly. This creates a more even and comfortable environment compared to traditional systems that rely on heated air circulation.
- No drafts or cold spots
- Even floor-to-ceiling comfort
- Reduced dust movement
To understand how this compares to convection systems, see our Infrared Heating Guide.
Output & System Design
This version of ECOFILM is typically rated at 100W per linear metre, with system outputs designed around an installed density of approximately 200W/m² depending on layout and coverage.
Because the film is installed across large ceiling areas, it provides:
- Consistent heat distribution across the entire room
- Scalable output for different room sizes
- Efficient heating in both small and large spaces

Ideal for Modern Energy-Efficient Buildings
ECOFILM ceiling heating is particularly suited to well-insulated homes and low-energy buildings, where steady radiant heat can maintain comfort with lower overall energy use.
Because it heats surfaces rather than air, it can:
- Reduce heat loss through air movement
- Operate effectively at lower thermostat settings
- Work well with renewable energy systems

Control & Zoning Options
This system is designed to work with thermostats and smart controls, allowing you to divide your property into independent heating zones.
- Room-by-room temperature control
- Programmable schedules and smart control
- Reduced heating in unused spaces
Explore compatible controls in our Thermostat Guide.
Commercial Applications
This system is also widely used in commercial environments where discreet, evenly distributed heating is required.
- Offices and commercial interiors
- Hospitality spaces such as restaurants and cafés
- Schools, corridors and public buildings
- Large open-plan environments
For project-based guidance, see our Commercial Office Heating Guide and Hospitality Heating Guide.

FAQ's
What is the difference between this and standard ECOFILM?
This version is supplied as a wider roll format, allowing greater coverage and more flexible installation across larger ceiling areas.
Can this be used for whole-house heating?
Yes. When correctly designed and installed, it can provide full-property heating, particularly in well-insulated homes.
Is it suitable for commercial spaces?
Yes. It works well in offices, schools, retail spaces and other larger environments where discreet ceiling heating is preferred.
Does it need to cover the entire ceiling?
Not always. Coverage is designed based on heat loss calculations and room usage.
Is it efficient compared to traditional heating?
Yes. By heating surfaces directly, it reduces wasted heat and improves overall efficiency.
Can it work with renewable energy?
Yes. ECOFILM systems are often paired with solar PV and smart tariffs to reduce running costs.
