Infrared panels – sustainable heat in style
With infrared panels, you can enjoy direct, natural heat and an energy-efficient indoor climate. Infrared heating is the modern heating method for those who want to combine comfort with sustainability. The panels emit a pleasant radiant heat that feels like the sun's warmth and create a healthy temperature without air circulation or maintenance.
What are infrared panels?
Unlike traditional radiators, infrared panels don't heat the air, but the surfaces in the room—walls, floors, and furniture. This means the heat is retained longer, and the room feels comfortable more quickly. Thanks to this efficient heat transfer, energy consumption is lower than with conventional heating.

Benefits of infrared heating
The advantages of infrared panels are clear: direct heat, a healthy indoor climate, and low operating costs. Because there's no air circulation, there's less dust movement – ideal for people with allergies or asthma. Moreover, the panels are quiet, maintenance-free, and easy to install. By heating individual zones with a smart thermostat, you save additional energy. This way, you only heat the rooms you're actually using.

Power and energy consumption
The right wattage determines the efficiency of your infrared heating. Well-insulated homes often require 50 to 70 watts per m², while older buildings require more. Our specialists are happy to help you calculate the correct wattage class. Explore our categories: 400 W , 700 W , 1000 W , 1500 W and 2000 W panels .
Installation and ease of use
Installing an infrared panel is quick and easy. Most panels come with mounting hardware and can be mounted on either the wall or the ceiling. Connect the panel to the power supply or have it professionally installed for a fully integrated finish. Within minutes of switching it on, the panel radiates direct heat, with no maintenance or moving parts.
For optimal use, combine the panels with a thermostat or home automation system. This allows you to set heating times, control zones separately, and easily manage the temperature via your smartphone.
Comparison with other heating systems
Infrared heating differs from traditional systems in that it doesn't heat the air, but directly warms the objects and people in the room. This results in less heat loss and a more comfortable feeling at lower temperatures. Compared to convection heating or a heat pump, installation is simpler, maintenance is minimal, and the response time is much faster.

Infrared for outdoor areas and outbuildings
Even outdoors, you want direct, natural heat without loss. For semi-open and glazed spaces, choose solutions that radiate heat directly and are moisture-resistant. Discover our applications for verandas , garden rooms , conservatories , and covered areas , and view premium solutions for pool houses and man caves . For outdoor areas, we recommend splash protection rated IP44 or IP55 .
Choose based on surface area
The right area category makes selecting a lamp easy and prevents over- or under-dimensioning. Start with 10 m² for compact rooms, go to 20 m² for medium-sized spaces, and choose 30 m² or 40 m² for spacious living areas. Always combine this choice with the wattage categories 400 watts , 700 watts , 1000 watts , and 1500 watts for the best results.
Smart controls for maximum comfort
With smart controls, you can heat only when needed and manage zones precisely. Choose Wi-Fi and app control for remote operation, or opt for direct control with dimmable panels . Automatic temperature control remains possible via thermostat solutions, ensuring comfort and energy consumption are balanced.
Assembly and design per room
For invisible integration, choose ceiling mounting , for targeted heat at seating height, wall mounting ideal, and for flexible zones, a standing panel particularly practical. Combine this with the right finish: choose timeless white or modern black , or opt for luxurious glass or mirrors for bathrooms and dressing rooms.
