How It Works

Infrared Heat Technology: The Speedheater Standard 1100 uses infrared rays to heat the paint, softening it without burning or damaging the surface underneath.

Quick Paint Removal: In just 20-40 seconds, you can soften an area of 3″ x 11″. The paint will lift, allowing for smooth, easy scraping.

Efficient and Even Results: The heat shields ensure the infrared heat is focused and even, so you can scrape off the paint cleanly in long strokes without worrying about uneven heating.

Why Infrared Technology?

When it comes to paint removal, traditional heat guns can damage wood and release toxic fumes from lead-based paint. The Speedheater™ System uses infrared light, which heats paint to a safe temperature (200-400°F), softening multiple layers in seconds without harming the wood or the user.

Benefits of Infrared (IR) Technology:

  • Non-Toxic: No harmful chemicals or fumes.
  • Safe for Lead Paint: Works at low enough temperatures to avoid lead evaporation.
  • Versatile: Removes paint, varnish, window putty, glue, and more.

How to Use the Speedheater for Paint Removal

  1. Hold the IR Heater: Briefly hover the Speedheater over the surface to soften paint.
  2. Scrape Off Softened Paint: Use the included ergonomic scrapers to remove paint easily and gently.
  3. Ready to Repaint: The clean surface is immediately ready for repainting—no waiting.

  • Safe and Environmentally Friendly: No toxic chemicals required.
  • Proven Technology: Developed in 1985, our IR system is trusted worldwide.
