Infrared heating panels are a type of electric heater that emit infrared radiation to warm objects and people directly, rather than primarily heating the air. This is achieved by heating the surfaces within a room, which then re-radiate heat. The emitted infrared waves are similar to the natural heat radiated by the sun.

These panels are typically made of a heating element enclosed within a frame, often constructed from materials like glass, metal, or ceramic. They can be mounted on walls, ceilings, or even used as freestanding units. Their operation is relatively simple, converting electrical energy into infrared radiation.

The advantages often cited for infrared heating panels include their energy efficiency, as they heat spaces directly, potentially reducing energy loss compared to convection heaters that rely on air circulation. They can also provide a more comfortable and even heat distribution without causing drafts. Furthermore, they are generally quiet in operation and require minimal maintenance.

Applications for infrared heating panels are diverse, ranging from residential heating solutions in homes and apartments to commercial spaces such as offices, workshops, and even outdoor areas like patios. They are also utilized in specific applications like drying processes and in therapeutic settings. Their installation is typically straightforward, making them a popular choice for supplemental or primary heating.
