The infrared heating ensures cozy warmth in the bathroom

With an infrared heater in the bathroom, you will never have to freeze again after showering or bathing. The sun-like rays pamper you with direct warmth and contribute to the cozy atmosphere in your personal wellness area. It's not just the extremely pleasant warming effect that lifts your mood. The different, decorative designs of the infrared heater characterize the room with their high-quality look. For a touch of luxury in your beauty kingdom. You can find out here what is important when buying an infrared bathroom heater.

Why is an infrared heater the perfect heat source for your bathroom?

When it comes to purchasing and installing, there are several advantages that encourage many consumers to choose an infrared heater for the bathroom or toilet. Their suitability as a powerful main heater and as an efficient additional heater makes them particularly interesting for use in bathrooms. These are often not equipped with their own heat source or have to make do with outdated underfloor heating. In order to achieve your comfortable temperature, additional heating is required. If you are faced with the choice of having to laboriously rip up the floor to install a new heating mat or simply connect an infrared electric heater to the electrical circuit, the decision will be easy for you. Using the included bracket, the practical infrared heaters can be attached to the wall or ceiling within minutes. Simply connect it to the existing socket and enjoy the soothing warmth in your wellness oasis.

In addition to the effortless assembly and installation, the infrared heater in the bathroom shines as a space-saving heat source. Once mounted on the ceiling, the infrared heater discreetly provides pleasant warmth from above. But even as a decorative wall heater, it doesn't take up much space. The shallow depth of the infrared electric heater allows it to literally merge with the wall and appears much more elegant than conventional heaters with a wider housing. In addition, there are models specially designed for bathrooms and toilets that fulfill additional multifunctional tasks. For example, an infrared mirror heater simplifies your beauty ritual, while practical towel holders on your wall heater ensure cozy, warm towels.

It's not just the installation and appearance of the infrared heater that makes it the perfect heat source for the bathroom. Their advanced heating effect is particularly suitable for damp rooms. Infrared heating technology does not work by heating the air, as is the case with convection heating. Instead, the gentle infrared radiation provides you with direct heat. The heat waves are absorbed and reflected by all surfaces in the room, creating a warming effect from all sides. This type of heat supply not only contributes to a pleasant climate, but also helps against moisture accumulation on the wall. This is kept permanently dry despite increased humidity, which prevents annoying mold formation.

Choosing the right IP protection class for bathrooms and wet rooms

Since the combination of moisture and electrical appliances is not always entirely unproblematic, you should definitely pay attention to the specified IP protection class when buying an infrared heater for the bathroom or toilet. This is the only way to maintain the electrical heating technology inside the device when the humidity is increased.

To decipher the values given, it is worth knowing that the first number stands for protection against foreign bodies and dust, whereas the second digit indicates the water resistance of the heater. So you should pay closer attention to this number when choosing a bathroom heater.

With a higher value, the radiator is better protected from the effects of moisture. The number 4, for example, promises protection against splashes and spray water, while a 5 already guarantees resistance to jet water. For your safety, an infrared heater for a bathroom or other wet rooms should have at least protection class IPX4 or IPX5 and be installed 60 cm away from the water source.

Decorative design for a cozy ambience in the bathroom

As described above, there are numerous models that have been specifically developed for use in the bathroom. Armed with the knowledge about the safety of electric heating in damp rooms, you can now decide on the design that ideally enriches your existing furnishings.

Infrared heating mirrors are very popular for installation in the bathroom. For example, you can purchase these with or without a frame and LED light and, thanks to the stylish mirror camouflage, they are often not recognized as a heater. These infrared heaters are particularly practical in the bathroom, as the infrared heat prevents the surface from fogging up. This means you even have a clear view of your reflection in the mirror straight after showering or bathing.

An infrared heating picture with a desired motif is also particularly decorative. This is not visually recognizable as a heating source. The heating in the bathroom is only noticeable thanks to the intense heat that the painting radiates.

If you want an inconspicuous bathroom radiator, you can use a classic infrared heater made of metal or glass. These are usually white so that their color blends with the wall or ceiling. For use in the bathroom, there are additional accessories such as towel rails that can be mounted on the slim radiator and turn it into a practical towel dryer. So you can enjoy warm, dry bath towels after every shower.

If the bath needs to be warmed up quickly and only for a short time, e.g. In the morning before work, an infrared heating hybrid is ideal. Because this dual bathroom radiator not only heats the air using proven convection technology, but also pampers you with direct, sun-like rays. Thanks to the double heat effect, the temperature in the bathroom rises faster, is stored in the surfaces of the room and does not evaporate as quickly when ventilated.

With suitable wattage for every bathroom

It is particularly important in the bathroom that the temperature does not fall below a certain basic temperature. On the one hand, warmth is important for your living comfort, as you are more sensitive to cold than usual after bathing and showering. On the other hand, the room must not cool down too much, as this increases the already increased risk of mold. So that you can fully enjoy the beneficial effects of your infrared heater in the bathroom, you should choose the right heating output for the room in question. The wattage required depends on various factors such as the size of the room, the number of external walls and the thickness of the insulation.

Once you have calculated what wattage you need for your bathroom, you can use the power and the current electricity price to determine the costs of heating with your infrared heater. Imagine you have chosen a 500 watt mirror heater for a 6m2 room. Based on an average electricity price of 29 cents per kilowatt hour, you only pay €0.15 per hour. With a daily heating time of 4 to 6 hours, you only get €0.60 – €0.90 per day. A very small price to pay for such cozy warmth.

Control with a digital thermostat

If you want to further reduce the electricity and heating costs and control the temperature in the room conveniently and specifically, we recommend combining it with an intelligent thermostat. This item can be individually programmed so that the temperature is automatically lowered in the evening, does not fall below a certain basic temperature (16 °C is recommended) and the bath is preheated in good time in the morning. The practical products not only save you heating costs, but also increase your living comfort. Thanks to the digital wireless thermostat, you can enjoy a comfortable, comfortable temperature every time you visit the bathroom. Matching the wellness feeling!
