About this product
The Sunheat Infrared Heating Panel offers a brilliant solution for targeted warmth within your home. This panel utilises far infrared technology to directly heat objects and people, rather than heating the air itself – ideal for spaces where you spend considerable time, such as desks or smaller rooms like garages or offices. It’s designed to create a comfortable environment without the issues of cold spots or dust circulation often associated with traditional heaters.
This wall-mounted panel is incredibly simple to install; simply mount it on a wall or ceiling and plug it in. Its sleek white design, measuring 2.2D x 60W x 30H centimetres, allows it to blend seamlessly into any interior space – suitable for use in bathrooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, home offices, or living rooms. The panel has a single heat setting with a maximum temperature of 115 degrees Celsius and a power output of 0.18 kilowatts.
The unit is IP54 rated, designed to comfortably handle splashes of water, making it easy to clean with a damp cloth. It’s powered by AC voltage at 230 Volts and features a coil heating element. While best suited for smaller areas covering up to 60 square feet, the low running cost thanks to its modest 180W draw will help reduce your energy bills.
This Mirrorstone Infrared Heating panel comes with a two-year warranty providing peace of mind. Please note that this model does not include a built-in thermostat and is designed for supplementary heating rather than whole-house applications.
