Infrared heating in the bathroom - opinions? experiences? tips?

Hello everyone,
so far I only have a small, really terrible fan heater in my bathroom. It makes the air so unbearable that I never turn it on and am constantly freezing because of it...

A friend recently asked me why I don't get an infrared heater for my bathroom, and I've already done a bit of research. Opinions vary a lot on this, so I wanted to ask here if anyone has experience with it? Maybe someone heats their home (in the bathroom) with infrared heaters?

I would also appreciate feedback from personal experiences

Hi...

We have a

Initial situation: the bathroom (northeast) usually did not exceed 22 degrees room temperature due to the loss of floor heating area in the bathtub area and the large walk-in shower area – despite very tight installation. One possibility would have been to increase the flow temperature throughout the entire house and throttle all rooms except the bathroom. This would have been very inefficient, especially with a heat pump! Now we have installed an infrared heater directly opposite the shower area, because only when showering does the subjective feeling of cold occur for the female members (22 degrees room temperature is enough for me when showering), and the system-related advantages come into effect – no more complaints.
We chose a visually appealing model, with remote control and timer – so turning it off is not forgotten either.

Best regards

Hello,

Friends of ours heat their entire house (in addition to the wood stove) with infrared panels.

Basically, this is a nice thing, but you have to think very carefully about where to place the panels, as an infrared heater works on the basis of radiant heat.

Therefore, the heating element should definitely be installed so that the people in the room are usually in the radiation area of the element (but also not directly in front of it), as described above.

The heating elements are now available in many colors, and some manufacturers even offer individual pictures on the surface.

However, one should not overlook the power consumption – although a fan heater (as previously installed) is also not one of the most efficient devices.
