Infrared heater for bathroom: panel and film

Infrared heaters are those heating devices that heat the environment through directional infrared rays. Also such devices are called reflectors or devices of thermal radiation.

Heating the room in this way is much more effective than heating with convection heaters: the convector devices first warm up all the air in the room, including the air of the ceiling part of the room( which is not used), and only then heats the surrounding objects. Infrared heaters first heat objects, and only then air. The surface of objects on which infrared rays are directed, absorb radiant energy, convert them into thermal energy, and then transmit it to air. This makes it possible to quickly and efficiently heat a certain area of ​​the room.

• All types of infrared heaters work from electricity by the principle of the sun, that is, they heat not the air itself but the surrounding things or surrounding people.
• Housings of similar heating devices are made of metal or glass-ceramic. The main part of heaters of the infrared type is the radiator, which is located inside the housing. He spreads rays of an infrared character. The heating part is a tubular electric heater or an electric open spiral. Those heaters with an open spiral, which are designed for operation in residential areas, are equipped with an additional protective metal mesh.

1. Heat from infrared rays does not dry the air and does not burn oxygen.
2. Targeted rays can instantly heat the surrounding things and surrounding people, as well as a certain area. This allows you to save a lot of electricity.
3. No noise or movement of air during operation.
4. The presence of a thermostat allows maintaining a comfortable temperature.
5. They are considered high-safety devices. They can be used in living quarters, including in the bathroom, in greenhouses, in cottages, in offices, in garages and even on open verandas. Of course, in open air the air will not be warm as in the rooms, but being close to the heat radiating panel, you will feel warm.
6. According to many buyers, these heaters are an excellent value for money.

At the moment, there are no shortcomings of infrared heaters. Almost all the feedback from customers is positive.

Its surface heats up to a maximum of 60 degrees Celsius, from which it is unrealistic to get a burn. The heating element of such a heater is made of a thin carbon fiber, the thickness of which is 1.5 mm. The flexibility of this device allows it to collapse in the form of a tube and clean for the summer. In this form they can be stored and transferred. The lightness of the product makes it possible to hang the device on any surfaces, including doors and walls of different thicknesses.
