Steel infrared panels offer a robust and stylish solution for sustainable heating in homes and businesses. Thanks to their robust construction and high-quality finish, these panels are particularly suitable for intensive use and spaces where quality and durability are paramount. Steel retains heat longer and releases it gradually, creating a comfortable and consistent temperature without drafts or noise.
What are steel infrared panels?
Unlike traditional heating systems, steel infrared panels don't heat the air, but directly heat walls, furniture, and people in the room. This makes the environment feel more comfortable faster and reduces energy loss. Steel provides stable, long-lasting heat output, a major advantage in both homes and commercial spaces like offices and practice rooms. Thanks to their robust casing, steel panels are also a sustainable choice for those who value optimal efficiency and a long lifespan.
Where do you choose steel infrared panels?
Steel infrared panels are often used in living rooms, hallways, hobby rooms, and business spaces where a solid and minimalist design is desired. Their robust construction also makes them suitable for intensively used rooms and areas where panels must be able to withstand impact. In homes, they are often combined with other materials for a harmonious look, for example, by combining steel with a ceiling panel or a wall-mounted model for balanced heat distribution.
For specific applications like bathrooms, panels with extra protection are often chosen. Also check out our category of infrared heating for bathrooms or the special models for wet areas within our collection of waterproof panels.
Benefits of steel infrared panels
Steel has unique properties that ensure even and consistent heat dissipation. The material retains heat longer and can withstand intensive use and high temperatures. This creates a stable and comfortable temperature without significant fluctuations. Thanks to their smooth and durable finish, steel panels retain their attractive appearance for years and are easy to clean.
Steel panels are available in various wattages, so you can always choose a model that suits the size of your room and the level of insulation. For larger living spaces, models up to 1500 watts popular, while compact spaces often require a panel around 700 watts . Our specialists are happy to provide personalized advice on choosing the right model, as they do with our freestanding panels and panels with a smart thermostat .
Assembly and ease of use
Steel infrared panels can be mounted on both walls and ceilings and are easy to install. The absence of moving parts ensures maintenance-free operation and a long lifespan. The panels operate whisper-quietly and heat the room instantly, ideal for daily comfort at home and at work.
For optimal efficiency, we recommend combining the panel with a modern thermostat, allowing you to control individual rooms and save energy by heating only when needed. Browse our selection of infrared panels with thermostats.
Comparison with other materials
Compared to glass and mirrored panels, steel panels have a more neutral, industrial look. Glass is often chosen for luxury interiors, while mirrored panels are popular in bathrooms and dressing rooms. Aluminum panels offer fast heat dissipation and a lightweight design, while steel is chosen for its robustness and even heat distribution. By combining materials, an optimal heating plan can be created that meets the needs of each room.
