Infrared Heating for Bathrooms
Infrared heating is a clean, efficient way to keep bathrooms warm and towels dry. Rather than heating the air, far infrared warms people and surfaces directly. Warm walls and tiles help discourage condensation, so the room feels comfortable and dries faster after showers.
Explore how it works in our Infrared Heating Guide, or see why it is effective against damp and condensation.
We offer slimline options for every bathroom layout, including bathroom towel heaters, mirror panels that stay clear for longer, and glass panels for a sleek, premium finish. Selected models include a built in Wi-Fi thermostat for easy schedules and temperature control from your phone.
Because infrared warms the fabric of the room, the heat lingers after the panel switches off. Pair with our smart thermostat for zoned control. If you have solar PV, infrared lets you turn surplus generation into comfortable heat.
Always check the product IP rating and follow bathroom zoning rules. For safety and compliance, installation must be completed by a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Infrared Heating
Is infrared heating safe to use in bathrooms?
Yes, when installed by a qualified electrician in the correct bathroom zone for the product’s IP rating. Follow the mounting heights and keep electrical parts outside splash zones as specified.
Will an infrared panel heat the whole bathroom?
In most bathrooms a correctly sized panel will heat the room comfortably. Use our Wattage calculator to choose the right wattage for the space and insulation level.
Which heaters are best for bathrooms?
For combined comfort and drying, choose our bathroom towel heaters. For a minimal look, mirror panels stay steam-clear for longer. Glass panels suit contemporary designs.
Do I need a thermostat or can I use the built in control?
Selected models include a built in Wi-Fi thermostat with app schedules. Where a separate control is preferred, our smart thermostat provides room by room control.
Will infrared heating help with mould?
Infrared warms surfaces which helps reduce condensation, so walls and grout dry faster. Combined with good ventilation, this helps discourage mould growth.
