In many older buildings, the "wet rooms" were planned not invitingly, often narrow and windowless. Some still remember the high copper hot water tanks with a frequently moody oil burner than an extension. Opportunities were later installed. Houses from the 1970s were highly futuristic in concrete. Night storage stoves were considered optimum. For this purpose, the installation of hot water heating and corresponding supply lines was saved. For this reason, instantaneous water heaters or hot water boilers are still a must. For a plus of heat, comfortable, warm climate and optimal use of space, infrared mirror heating is the most important element of a redesign.
From the wet cell to the wellness bathroom
Older houses have their charm, but occasionally it fails a little brittle, especially in bathrooms or toilets. Close narrow "corridors" or windowless niches fulfill their purpose. But the dröge tile decor immediately gives winter feelings. If it is actually cold, a dusty heating fan struggles against teeth grappers and mold formation. An inexpensive way to immediately transform such a bath into a small wellness oasis is loudIrexperten an infrared heater.
The plus points:
No space? But! Wall and ceiling are available. An infrared mirror usually protrudes only a few centimeters into the room when it is attached to the wall. Small wall surfaces and high ceilings? Several high, narrow heating elements solve this problem.
Mirrors ensure light reflection and a feeling of width: the room becomes brighter and looks larger. If the heating element is in operation, there is no foggy to be feared.
The pleasant heat heat is generated silently. In contrast to heating fans, no dust is whirled up. The room air remains pleasant, mold has no chance.
In bathrooms, around 100 kW power per square meter of the space to be heated ensure fast, efficient heat development. A thermostat is either integrated in the device or can be installed afterwards.
In contrast to a complete redesign of the bathroom, the purchase of infrared mirror heating with around 500 euros is a quick and inexpensive alternative. Anyone who later provides a comprehensive renovation will continue to use the solid, maintenance -free bathroom mirror heating.
Infrared mirror heaters are structured
Basically, infrared heating elements consist of:
-a thermal insulation layer on the back, usually a stone wool insulation plate with a coated sheet metal back wall behind it (so that the wall is not heated behind the radiator, but the area in front of it)
- a heating layer
- a front layer
The core of the mirror heating are carbon fiber or foils or stainless steel fibers. These are embedded in plastic or covered by it. Stainless steel heating ladder are considered to be indefinitely durable. They convert the energy carried out into infrared heat.
The term infrared radiation refers to the predominantly generated electromagnetic waves and their spectral area. In the infrared area, heat is generated, which is roughly resembled by the sun's heat. The room air is not heated, but all solid surfaces and bodies around the heating elements.
The head layer of the heater not only decides on the optics, but also on some heating properties. Natural stone slabs, for example, made of sandstone, marble, granite or "Solnhofer panels", as well as ceramics, still hold the heat even when the current has long since been switched off. A tiled stove is similarly effective.
Coated aluminum, security decor or mirror glass quickly release a lot of warmth, but also cool down again quickly. For this they open up many design options. In bathrooms or toilets, the fast heat generation is crucial, the space does not have to be kept very warm. Accordingly, large infrared heating elements perform perfectly this task.
Mirror heaters are made with or without frame, with or without LED lighting. Heated mirror surfaces naturally do not fog up.
