Bathroom towel heaters with infrared technology combine efficient room heating with fast towel drying and reduced condensation, making chill, damp bathrooms a thing of the past. Designed for modern bathrooms and ensuites, these slim, wall-mounted heaters deliver gentle radiant warmth that heats people and surfaces directly, keeps towels cosy and dry, and improves comfort after showers and baths. IP-rated for bathroom use and compatible with smart controls, they offer stylish, space-saving performance with lower running costs than traditional convectors.

ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

Infrared bathroom towel heaters are designed to provide comfortable room heating while helping towels dry more quickly in humid environments. By delivering gentle radiant warmth that heats people and surfaces directly, these heaters support a warmer, more pleasant bathroom experience throughout the year.

Unlike conventional convection heating, infrared bathroom heaters help reduce moisture in the air and keep surrounding surfaces warmer. This can lower the likelihood of condensation forming on walls and mirrors, supporting a cleaner bathroom environment and reducing the conditions in which mould can develop.

Their slimline, wall mounted design makes them well suited to modern bathrooms and en-suites where space is limited. Built for use in humid conditions, infrared towel heaters offer a practical combination of comfort, efficiency and durability, making them suitable for homes as well as hotels, spas and student accommodation.

Many models can be paired with smart control systems, allowing heating schedules and temperature settings to be adjusted easily to suit daily routines. To ensure the correct output for your space, use our wattage calculator.

HEATING BY APPLICATION

Suitable for the spaces you need to heat.

From individual rooms to larger commercial environments, explore where this infrared heating range can be used and find the right solution for your space.

WHY INFRARED?

A different way to experience warmth.

Infrared heating works differently from conventional convection systems. Rather than relying primarily on circulating warm air, radiant heat is absorbed by people, objects and surfaces within the space.

Comfortable warmth. Simple control. Beautifully discreet.

Discover the benefits
Efficient Heating

Direct radiant heating delivers warmth into the occupied space, with individual room control helping avoid unnecessary heating elsewhere.

Silent Operation

No fans or forced-air circulation means comfortable radiant warmth without background noise.

Zone Heating

Control individual rooms or areas independently instead of heating every space to the same temperature.

Responsive Warmth

Radiant warmth is delivered directly into the occupied space once the heater reaches operating temperature.

Space-Saving Design

Slim wall and ceiling-mounted options help keep valuable floor space clear.

Flexible Control

Choose from thermostat, scheduling and Wi-Fi control options depending on the heater and installation.

Smart thermostat control for infrared heating
SMART HEATING CONTROL

Take control of your heating.

Bathroom infrared heaters offer flexible temperature control depending on the model. Some heaters include built in controls, allowing simple, self contained operation without the need for additional components.

Models without built in control can be paired with an external thermostat to enable scheduling, timer functions and app or wall mounted control.


Built in control models suit straightforward bathroom installations, while external thermostats are better suited where greater flexibility or centralised control across multiple heaters is required.

RUNNING COSTS

What does infrared heating cost to run?

Understand what affects electricity use and how the running cost of your infrared heating can vary depending on the space, controls and how the system is used.

Infrared bathroom heaters are not expensive to run when correctly sized and installed. Unlike fan heaters that heat air quickly and waste energy, infrared heaters warm surfaces directly, helping bathrooms stay warm while reducing condensation.

In real UK homes, this often results in:

  • Shorter daily run times
  • Lower overall electricity consumption
  • Comfortable warmth without overheating

Running cost example:
If your electricity costs £0.20 per kWh, a 350W bathroom infrared panel would cost around 7p per hour when running at full output (0.35 kW × £0.20). Thermostatic control ensures the heater only runs when required.

Actual running costs depend on room size, insulation, ceiling height and how the space is used. For a full breakdown, see our guides on infrared heating running costs and compare infrared against traditional heating.

NEED TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions.

Find answers to common questions about this infrared heating range, from choosing the right option to installation, controls and everyday use.

Are infrared bathroom heaters safe to use?
Yes. Bathroom infrared heaters are designed with safety certifications including UKCA and CE. They produce radiant heat without exposed elements or open flames, and many include thermal cut-off protection. Always install according to bathroom zoning regulations by a qualified electrician.
Can infrared bathroom heaters be installed in wet areas?
Some models carry an IPX4 splash-resistant rating, meaning they are protected against water splashes. They must be installed in the correct bathroom zone and at least 600mm above the floor. Check the product’s IP rating and local building regulations before installation.
How do infrared bathroom heaters work?
Infrared bathroom heaters emit radiant heat, warming people and surfaces directly rather than heating the air. This is efficient and creates a comfortable, natural warmth that’s ideal for bathrooms, especially when paired with timers or thermostatic control.
Do bathroom infrared heaters need a thermostat?
Some bathroom heaters include built-in temperature controls, while others can be connected to an external thermostat for more precise control and scheduling. Smart thermostats can provide app and timer functions but must be installed outside of wet zones and by a qualified electrician.
What is the best height to install a bathroom infrared heater?
Bathroom infrared heaters should be installed at least 600mm above the floor and out of direct spray paths. Exact height may vary by model; always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions for optimal performance and safety.
Will a bathroom infrared heater help dry towels?
Yes. Many bathroom infrared heaters are designed to provide gentle radiant warmth that can help dry towels and reduce moisture. Pairing with a thermostatic control can improve drying efficiency and energy use.
How energy efficient are bathroom infrared heaters?
Infrared heaters are energy efficient because they heat surfaces and people directly, reducing wasted energy. Running costs depend on the wattage selected, room insulation and thermostat settings. Using timer or smart control helps reduce overall energy use.
Do bathroom infrared heaters require maintenance?
No. Bathroom infrared heaters have no moving parts and require minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning with a soft, damp cloth when switched off keeps them looking and performing well.
