Infrared bathroom heating: modern heating technologies

Content:

At Bricknest, we create innovative and energy-efficient heating solutions that combine comfort and style. Infrared heating in the bathroom offers a perfect balance between design, efficiency and ease of use. It's a modern way to heat your bathroom quickly, evenly and sustainably — ideal for those who value comfort with a contemporary look.

How infrared heating works

Infrared heating works in a different way than conventional radiators or convectors. Instead of heating the air, the system radiates heat directly to objects and people in the room. The result is natural, pleasant warmth that can be felt immediately.

How infrared radiation works

Infrared radiation consists of electromagnetic waves between visible light and microwaves. Once this radiation reaches a surface, it is absorbed and converted into heat. Think about the feeling of the sun on your skin on a cool day — the same principle, but without harmful UV rays.

The walls, floors, furniture and occupants absorb this heat and gradually release it. This creates a constant temperature and comfortable, dry air in the bathroom.

Bathroom benefits

Infrared heating offers numerous advantages that are particularly important in humid areas such as bathrooms:

  • Fast heating: the panels reach their optimal temperature in seconds.
  • Uniform heat distribution: no cold zones, the entire room is evenly heated.
  • Healthy air quality: because there is no air circulation, dust and allergens do not spread.
  • Moisture prevention: condensation and mold growth are effectively prevented.
  • Energy efficiency: objects are heated directly, which uses less energy than air heating.
  • Stylish design: from minimalist white panels to mirror variants — infrared heating fits into any interior.

Types of infrared heaters

There are different types of infrared heating, each with their own functions and benefits.

Wall panels

Wall-mounted infrared panels are compact, elegant and easy to install. They take up hardly any space and provide direct, uniform heat. Available in a range of styles — from discreet white panels to mirrored versions — they are a perfect fit for modern bathrooms. Thanks to smart thermostat control, the temperature can be precisely adjusted to your preference.

Floor systems

For those who love luxurious comfort, infrared floor heating is the ideal choice. The heating foil or mats are placed under the floor finish and distribute the heat evenly from below. Especially with tile floors, this creates a pleasant, comfortable feeling and helps prevent condensation and moisture problems.

Costs and installation

The cost of infrared heating in the bathroom depends on various factors, such as the size of the room, the type of system and the finish chosen.

Prices

The final price is determined by several factors:

  • Bathroom size: A larger space requires more powerful panels and more power.
  • Type of heating: wall panels, floor systems or free-standing units each have their own price range.
  • Brand and quality: Renowned manufacturers offer more sustainable and efficient solutions, often at a slightly higher price.
  • Installation complexity: wall panels are installed quickly, while integrated floor systems require more preparation and time.

Installation

The installation of infrared heating is relatively simple and does not require any major renovation. Wall panels can often be installed by yourself with basic tools, while the installation of floor systems is better left to professionals for optimal safety and efficiency.

At Bricknest, we take care of the entire process — from design and material selection to expert installation — so that your bathroom not only looks stylish, but is also heated sustainably and comfortably.
