Waterproof infrared heating offers a safe and sustainable way to heat rooms exposed to moisture or splashing water. Thanks to their IP44 and IP55 protection ratings, these infrared panels are specifically designed for areas requiring extra safety, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, wellness areas, restaurants, and outdoor spaces like verandas and covered areas. The panels emit direct, natural radiant heat that feels like the sun's warmth, without air circulation or maintenance.
What does IP44 and IP55 mean?
An IP rating indicates how well a device is protected against moisture and dust. IP44 means the panel is splash-proof and safe for use in areas where occasional water drops occur, such as bathrooms and changing rooms. IP55 offers even more protection and is suitable for environments with more intense exposure to moisture, such as shower rooms or outdoor use under a canopy. This makes these panels a reliable heating solution for damp areas where traditional heating is less suitable.
Applications of waterproof infrared panels
Waterproof infrared panels are widely used in modern bathrooms, wellness areas, swimming pools, and outdoor spaces such as verandas and lounges. Thanks to the direct and pleasant heat, you can enjoy comfort without waiting, and the air stays fresh and dry.

Benefits of waterproof panels
Waterproof infrared panels combine safety with comfort and energy efficiency.

For added comfort in damp rooms, panels with integrated heating and lighting are also available, similar to our category of infrared panels with lighting .
