Infrared heating for bathrooms

Infrared mirror and panel heaters suit bathrooms — they warm the room and the surfaces quickly, help keep mirrors clear, and come in IP-rated options for safe use in wet zones.

Quick answer

Is infrared heating good for bathrooms?

Yes, using IP-rated panels installed in the correct bathroom zone by a qualified electrician.

Why infrared suits bathrooms

Typical building: Small, humid rooms where condensation, mould and quick warm-up all matter.

  • Fast radiant warmth for getting in and out of the shower.
  • Mirror panels double as a heater and stay demist-clear.
  • Warmer surfaces reduce condensation and mould.
  • IP-rated panels for safe installation in the correct zone.

Typical specification

IP-rated wall or mirror panels sized to the room, on a timer or thermostat.

Sizing guide: Around 80–100 W/m² of floor area.
