Prestyl Corporate Profile
• Prestyl USA is a subsidiary of a US-based
holding company; Prestyl was founded in
2010 as a California LLC.
• The company’s name is derived from
“Prestige” and “Style” representing highquality and modern styling
www.greendirections.ca
• Prestyl is in the process of obtaining a
patent for its newly designed “Constant
Comfort Control” system; this is expected
to revolutionize the far-infrared industry.
• Next the company will pursue a patent for
its “Instant-On” far-IR heating technology;
this is expected to be “the future of farinfrared”; imagine walking into a space and
having the system fully active in 8 seconds.

Prestyl USA is a US manufacturer
Prestyl develops and produces
far-infrared heating products

Pre-Prestyl solutions….
When modern heating systems fail to
perform and people get cold they resort
to using dangerous and highly
inefficient supplemental heating units.
www.greendirections.ca
Space heaters (which can be found in many
offices in both summer and winter) are used
to either supplement a problematic heating
system, or to “balance” AC systems.
No matter how much the power, hot air rises
and feet and legs will remain cold.
At 1500 to 2500 Watts each, space heaters
are “energy hogs” and may consume more
energy than the entire building’s HVAC
system.
www.greendirections.ca
Prestyl’s solution
Prestyl’s solution is a 100-275*
Watt far-infrared under desk unit
that is both efficient and
therapeutic; it warms the legs and
feet as well as the floor below the
desk or work-station.
* 100 – 268 Watts with optional PWM intensity
controller (80-200 degrees F surface
temperature) or 275 Watts self-regulating to
205 degrees Fahrenheit without controller.
www.greendirections.ca
Whole building or
supplemental
Prestyl’s heaters may be used to
Heat an entire building
Heat a remote room or new addition
Replace sections of broken hydronic
(water-or other liquid-based) systems
Increase the comfort in any room
www.greendirections.ca
Fixing a difficult to repair in-floor “Hydronic”
System or an under-performing Geo-thermal
system can be done easily by installing “plug
and play” printed artworks connected to linevoltage thermostats, or …. by installing the
panels as part of the existing system with
relays/contactors and fixed or wireless lowvoltage thermostats.
Additional solutions (Prestyl’s under laminate
and “behind the plasterboard” in ceiling) are
being submitted for approval by UL. (Spring
2014 release)
www.greendirections.ca
Replacing dangerous but
commonly-used systems
The high-temperature open-element heater
is still used in many places, yet it causes
several serious health problems; these
heaters operate in the visible or “nearinfrared” part of the spectrum.
Visible, or “near” infrared operates at wavelengths
which are known to cause a number of serious eye
ailments.
Near IR heaters also cause skin and tissue damage if
exposed for longer periods of time (sub-surface
burns).
Exposed element heaters operate in the dangerous
2,000 to 4,000 nm wavelength and because these
also heat the air molecules, use more energy than
Prestyl’s panels, which operate at 7,500-10,000 nm
(the healthy part of the infrared spectrum).
www.greendirections.ca
Near infrared can be used for outdoor
applications since it operates at high power
levels and since people are only exposed to
its waves for a limited time; but indoors it
should not be used because it is a health
hazards.
Near infrared waves collide with the air
molecules - - this translates into a large
portion of the energy being converted to
convection with its associated losses.
www.greendirections.ca
Purpose-specific solutions
• Peakshifting
• Dual-fuel
rate
• Operating
and Cleanrooms
Storing heat energy during “off-peak” hours
and using it (with the power switched off)
during the peak demand.
Using most of the energy when rates are low
(night) and switching off the power until
needed during the work day.
The first “dust-free” operating room systems
have been built and commissioned with
Prestyl’s heaters and specially designed
hospital regulators. These are integrated into
the Operating Room’s control system. The use
of IR allows for cooling the patients and
keeping the doctors and nurses comfortable.
www.greendirections.ca
Purpose-specific solutions
• Incubators
• Hospital
bathroom
systems
• Emergency
rooms
• Prestyl has several unique projects under
development; one of these is an “instant-on”
heater that is regulated to +/- 1 degree C.
• Using the same technology as for the
incubators, these panels will operate at a “base
temperature” keeping the tile and bathroom
fixtures warm. When the occupancy sensor is
tripped the panel’s temperature, and hence the
intensity will increase. (Pre-production
“qualification units” are being tested by several
hospitals in Belgium and Holland).
• Various emergency room developments are in
the works
www.greendirections.ca
Purpose-specific solutions
• Church or
stadium
bench
heaters
Prestyl has developed a 130 Watt 1 x 3’ in-line
heating module that delivers 20% of its heat
energy to the seating surface and 80% to the
floor and feet region. In many churches and
arenas that either have no heating or have
convection heating, adding far-IR to the
benches is the only way to create a
comfortable environment.
This product is now in limited production;
modules are connected in a daisy-chain
fashion to allow for a single feed point for each
string of heaters.
www.greendirections.ca
Efficiency
Prestyl’s Far-infrared is one of the
most efficient heat sources available
today; it rivals and in very cold
winters, exceeds the performance of
the best heat-pump or geothermal
systems.
www.greendirections.ca
Environmentally responsible
• HIO/Prestyl’s heaters are
constructed from pure,
100% recyclable highquality aluminum rolls.
• In total, 99% of the panels is recyclable.
• 12 to 50% lower energy consumption than
traditional heating technologies. (savings
depend on building type and installation)
www.greendirections.ca
Reliability and Quality
With eighteen years of development
and OEM deployment in harsh
operating environments, it is safe to
say that Prestyl’s thin-film technology
with a life expectancy of possibly 50
years or more is among the world’s
most dependable products available.
www.greendirections.ca
Health Benefits of
Prestyl Far-Infrared Heat

American Medical Association testing shows that
FIR warms and stimulates body tissue — this;
improves circulation, reduces swelling and
inflammation, and stimulates increase in new blood
cells, which acts as an energy booster on the body and
eliminates body toxins quicker.

American Medical Association testing shows that
FIR strengthen the body’s resistance to infectious
disease by increasing lymphocytes, which reduce
frequency of respiratory infections.

American Medical Association testing shows that
FIR increase oxygen capacity in your blood.
www.greendirections.ca
Health Benefits (cont’d)

American Medical Association testing shows that FIR
increase your body’s tolerance to stress.

American Medical Association testing shows that Far
Infrared Rays are anti–aging. FIR stimulate cell tissue
growth by regeneration of skin tissue and blood cells lost to
aging. They also speed up cellular metabolism by
stimulating mitochondria an enzyme activity.

American Medical Association testing shows that FIR
cell stimulation also increases bone growth and strength.

American Medical Association testing shows that FIR
increase your body’s melatonin (helps with sleeping, aging
and reproduction), cortisone (naturally occurring steroid in
body) and testosterone (growth hormone occurring
naturally in all humans).

Eliminate “hot head cold feet” syndrome
Quickly recover comfort after doors have
been opened and room air has escaped
Save energy by implementing efficient and
healthy “point of use” heating
www.greendirections.ca
How does infrared work?
A small portion of the sun’s spectrum
is healthy infrared heat. After the sun
goes down, objects that were exposed
to the sun’s infrared warmth,
especially stone and concrete, will
continue to emit the infrared heat
that was absorbed and stored, during
the sun’s exposure, for many hours.
www.greendirections.ca
Why is Prestyl so special?
The core of our heating
technology is a unique
proprietary alloy that
features heating
characteristics not found in
any competitor’s product.
www.greendirections.ca
How do we do it?
Just as it is with the sun, Prestyl heats
the objects and people in a space,
not the air.
Prestyl’s soothing far-infrared waves
heat the floor, walls, furniture, etc.
Heat energy can be stored at night
(when the rates are low) and
“returned” during the day providing
for energy savings of 15 to up to 50%
or more.

Typical Installation
•
•
•
•
(single units)
Single panels may be wall or ceiling
mounted and plugged-in when
heating is needed.
Alternately, a switched outlet or …
(if temperature control is required), a
line-voltage thermostat may be used.
Line-voltage thermostats can be a
separate plug-in units or these can
be located in a wall-switch box .
(please contact your dealer,
electrician or HIO for details)
www.greendirections.ca
One-person “on-ceiling” Installation
With the optional
“S”- hooks, ceiling
(surface-mount)
installations require
just one person; this
represents a 50%
panel installation
labor cost reduction.
Rather than using a
helper, the “S”-hooks
suspend the panel while
the electrical connection
is made.
To release the hooks lift
and shake the panel until
these will fall to the floor
www.greendirections.ca
“On-ceiling” Installation
1. Insert the flat (longer) lip of
the bracket first.
2. Lift the panel towards the
ceiling and slide it to the
left to engage the righthand side of the bracket
3. Lower the panel so it will
rest on the bracket, push
the panel slightly to the
right and close the latches
(use a flat-blade
screwdriver or other
suitable tool if needed).
www.greendirections.ca
Typical Installation (suspended ceiling)
Depending on local codes, panels
in a multi - panel system may be
plugged into thermostatically
controlled outlets, or can be
hardwired.
Note:
Some local codes require optional flex
conduit, if this is the case, panels must
be ordered with the “Flex-conduit
option”.

Building requirements
Like any other technology, Far-infrared
(regardless of manufacturer) is limited by the
laws of nature/physics
• A building must be reasonably weather-tight
and preferably insulated
• The most important consideration is the
floor. The floor must be well insulated,
especially around the perimeter.
• If the concrete is wet, the area of the
building with the wet floor will not warm up
until the moisture has evaporated.
• If a building “stands in water” infrared will
not work!
www.greendirections.ca
Building requirements (continued)
• If an office shares a slab floor with an unheated
warehouse, conduction to the unheated space will
require more panels than calculated.
(an insulated sub-floor in the office will solve this
problem.)
• Buildings with old steel or aluminum single pane
windows conduct heat to the outside world; unless
properly sealed storm windows are installed, this
building will require more panels than calculated
• Never install fewer panels than calculated. More is
better, fewer panels means higher operating costs
and cold people! www.greendirections.ca
Highlights
• Comfortable (soothing warmth all over)
• No dust or pollen circulation (does not move the air)
• Prevents mold (floors walls and ceilings warmer than the
air)
• Improves ability to learn/higher productivity
•
•
•
(documented lower absenteeism, no noise pollution, no
hot head cold feet syndrome, just a more comfortable
environment)
Saves energy (typical saving 20-50% or more)
Environmentally responsible (almost 100% recyclable)
Can be powered by renewables (lower or no carbon
emissions)
