Remove paint from wood gently, quickly and easily
When a facade or other surface is to be repainted, it is important to remove all old facade paint. There are different methods for removing paint and new technologies have made it easier. The most common method is to heat the paint using a heat gun that has a very high temperature. What many people are not aware of is that the high temperature damages the wood and has a negative effect on the user's health. Therefore, Speedheater has developed a method that is easy to use and that does not harm the wood or the user. The solution became the Speedheater IR System and is today an unbeatable method for heating paint faster, easier and more environmentally friendly.

Here you can learn more about the popular method of removing paint using infrared light. Ever since we invented the very first prototype of an IR lamp for paint removal in 1985, interest has been constantly increasing. Not surprising considering that it is a method that removes paint without chemicals, toxic fumes or damage to the substrate. The fact that you can start repainting immediately without waiting is of course also very positive!
Speedheater has a long lifespan and a wide range of applications from large facades to small woodwork. It is therefore a good investment if you do a lot of house renovation, furniture restoration or recycling. You can get everything you need in our webshop or any of our Speedheater dealers around Sweden. In addition, they are also available for rent in many places in the country. So regardless of your budget, you can try this environmentally friendly, safe and effective method of removing paint.
Warm the paint with infrared light
Hold the IR lamp for a short while over the area you want to remove the paint. You will see almost immediately that the paint reacts. Unlike a classic heat gun, no hazardous substances are released from the heated paint. The IR light also easily gets into the nooks and crannies, which means that even carved wooden furniture can be made completely wood-free. In addition to paint, IR also removes old window putty, varnish, glue, etc.
Scrape away the soft paint
The IR radiation goes through several layers of paint, often all the way down to the substrate in one heating. The heat is high enough to soften the paint, but not so high that it releases toxic substances in the paint or burns wooden substrates. The soft paint is easy to scrape off and you don't have to touch, which means that the substrate is not scratched or damaged by the paint scraper.
Repaint immediately
Since no solvents are needed, and since the substrate is dry and clean after scraping, there is no waiting time before you can start painting on new paint.
Why is it important to remove old paint?
If you paint directly on old paint that has peeled off, it won't last very long and, above all, the end result won't be very pretty. By heating the paint off quickly and easily, you avoid a lot of future problems. In order for the paint to last and provide protection, it's also important to do proper groundwork to get a durable and beautiful end result.
