- Black satin glass
- Practical writable surface
- TA models with different outputs
A tailored proposal for your space, finish and installation.
A place for notes and warmth
With the Tafel version, the panel becomes part of everyday use. The black satin glass front can hold a shopping list, reminder or drawing. The black finish is comparable to RAL 9005. This is a different version from a black metal panel: use the TA range’s article number to specify the correct product choice.
The black satin glass panel combines a writable front with our ESHC Plus heating technology. The 5-millimetre ESG-H safety glass has polished edges and rounded corners; behind the front are insulation and two thermal safety switches. If you want to install a rectangular Tafel panel beneath a ceiling, glass fixing set 14171 is part of the installation according to the panel manual. Choose a position where the board remains accessible and heat can radiate freely into the room.
A functional wall needs the right size
Choose a position where the surface is usable and heat output is not unnecessarily obstructed. The available wall area and heat loss together determine the appropriate size. The standard glass range becomes warm during operation; follow the instructions for writing, cleaning and using the specific model. We help you match the chalkboard panel to the space and everyday use.

Welltherm infrared chalkboard heating for a functional wall
Welltherm infrared chalkboard heating combines a writable front with space heating. This gives a wall in a kitchen, workplace or another suitable room an additional function. You can use the surface for a reminder or drawing, while selecting the appliance as a heating panel based on output and installation. Therefore start with both requirements: what do you want to do on the wall and what heat must the panel provide? The suitable version must meet that combined task.
Welltherm manufactures the panels and HeatXL handles Benelux distribution. We help you relate the TA version to the space, output and usage. A proposal identifies the specific model, installation and control components. This allows you to assess the panel as a complete combination. For the broader difference between an image, mirror and writable front, you can also consult our guide to electric heating panels based on the function you seek.

The Tafel version has a black satin glass front. The writable surface belongs to this specific range. An ordinary black panel is therefore not automatically a chalkboard. Use the TA article number when enquiring and specify the size you seek. A dark metal version may look similar in colour, but has a different product function. The intended surface application is selected by range, not solely from an example photo or colour name.
A wall you want to use regularly as a board needs an accessible position. At the same time, panel installation must maintain the prescribed clearances and usable heat output. A low cabinet or worktop can alter practical access; a high position can make the writable function less useful. Therefore include the furnishings in your drawing. The chosen location is assessed both as a product installation and as part of the room’s everyday use.
Compare TA0580, TA0780 and TA0930 by size and output
The current table shows the 580-watt TA0580, 780-watt TA0780 and 930-watt TA0930. They are 60 centimetres wide and differ in length, weight and output. The board surface size and capacity therefore change together. Do not choose only the longest front because it fits more notes. Heat demand, the available wall and installation requirements are considered first. We then discuss the practical board size within the suitable options.
Weight is part of assessing the supporting substrate. TA0580 weighs 13.5 kilograms, TA0780 17.3 kilograms and TA0930 22 kilograms. Ordinary decorative board fixings are not installation advice for this product. Ensure the wall structure and fixings suit the chosen model. Mention a lining wall or other unusual wall material early in the enquiry. The installer can then determine what preparation is needed before mounting the panel in its intended position.
The satin black glass is comparable to RAL 9005 and has its own appearance under daylight and artificial light. Consider how that dark rectangle works beside the wall colour and furniture. A board with little text can remain an understated surface; a complete drawing makes it visually more active. This is an interior choice within the product function. The black colour does not change the item’s electrical output, protection rating or required installation conditions.

Use the exact overall dimensions from the product table for a wall plan. A sketch showing only a rough rectangle may miss important differences around an alcove or furniture. Also indicate which fixed elements surround the panel. During renovation, it is useful to check those dimensions against the finished situation. The connection position and prescribed clearances are considered alongside the front dimensions before preparing the fixings and wall finish.
Writing and cleaning as part of use
Use the writing and cleaning instructions associated with the Tafel version. The panel surface becomes warm during heating. Therefore plan writing and cleaning according to the specific product’s operating instructions and allow the front to cool where necessary. The heating programme and board function can then form part of the same daily routine. This application is not the same as an ordinary school chalkboard that you treat at any time without considering a heating function.

Do not put paper, a poster or loose film over the heated front to keep notes. The writable function is built into the intended surface finish. A cloth or other covering also affects heat output and does not belong on this panel. Use the appliance as a TA panel and keep additional objects away from the front and fixings. Something that seems convenient for an ordinary noticeboard is not therefore a suitable accessory for a heating panel.
Do not assume magnetic use or other board functions that are not described for the selected model. A chalkboard version means the surface is designed for the intended writable application; it says nothing about arbitrary magnets, adhesive materials or pens. Communicate a specific usage preference beforehand. We can then discuss the practical possibilities using the documentation. This avoids extending an attractive interior function with additions that do not belong to the product version.
Let the panel cool according to the instructions before cleaning and use the described method. An abrasive treatment or arbitrary cleaning agent can treat the front differently from its intended use. Keep the cleaning information with the product details. In a business, a short agreement for users and cleaning staff helps everyone use the same method. The board feature is an everyday function; retaining its finish is part of careful use of that specific version.
The heating task in kitchens and workspaces
In a kitchen, you can use the board for shopping lists or a short reminder. The position must also suit heating and electrical installation. Indicate heat sources, worktops, appliances and available wall space on the floor plan. The TA range is not a splashback or worktop accessory. A wall you would like to use for notes is therefore assessed against the appliance requirements before selecting the panel. The practical board function and suitable installation must fit together.
A home office can present a different task: space heating with a writable surface for planning. Include the desk and normal seated position in the plan. Specify whether existing heating remains and when the room is used. If you mainly want extra warmth at your feet, desk heating has a different product function. A TA panel for the room is not chosen solely because of a wish for local foot warmth.

For primary heating, we consider heat loss, the desired temperature and available mounting positions. For supplementary heating, a defined place or usage time may be central. Make this distinction clear in your enquiry. The useful board function does not determine whether one panel has sufficient output for the whole room. A room with extensive glazing and external walls may need a different arrangement from a well-insulated small workspace, even when the same front size fits the wall.
Consider the warm-up time of the panel and surroundings. A workspace used only on certain days may start at a different temperature from a kitchen where background heating is already present. The controls are prepared for that situation. Describe the weekly routine and have the programme checked against actual use after commissioning. The space receives its warmth through the chosen installation; a quickly usable writing surface does not predict immediate heating of the whole room.
Glass, installation and electrical application
The TA range has 5-millimetre ESG-H safety glass, ESHC Plus technology and an insulated rear. The thermal safety switches form part of the product construction. Installation and use remain within the associated instructions. A glass front requires appropriate fixings and careful handling. Do not use the panel to support other items or modify its construction yourself. Have the professional prepare the specific installation using the article number and supplied documentation.
The protection rating is IPX4, but the standard glass range has its own positioning restrictions. Bathroom zones 1 and 2 are excluded according to the model instructions. A writable panel is therefore not positioned beside a shower solely on the basis of its IP rating. Provide the specific room and intended position and have the electrical assessment performed. For a desired bathroom function, we consider the bathroom solutions as a separate product direction.
For permitted ceiling mounting of a rectangular Tafel panel, the prescribed glass fixing set 14171 forms part of the installation. Bear in mind that the board function in such a position usually does not provide the same everyday use as an accessible wall front. Installation is chosen according to the room’s actual task. If ceiling heating is the main aim, another suitable version can be explored. The writable function is a specific feature, not a reason to give every mounting position the same practical value.
The current TA connection has a 650-millimetre cable with precon GST15i3. Decide early where the connection and receiver remain accessible. An understated wall appearance and maintenance access can be prepared together. Have the professional select the connection variant and suitable temperature controls for the model. Use the connection information to prepare for that discussion. A panel with a chalkboard front does not have separately built-in Wi-Fi or complete controls simply because of its surface application.
Keep controls, measurement position and consumption clear
A suitable thermostat and receiver control the heating function. Choose operation based on the room and your daily use. DE and SA have their own components and communication methods. A wish for an app is developed as a separate system choice and not described as an inherent feature of the TA panel. View the control options and specify whether you mainly want a fixed programme or practical local operation. The combination must also suit the connection and load.
A hypothetical calculation with TA0780 shows the electrical principle. At 0.78 kW and three hours fully switched on, the example uses 2.34 kWh. To calculate costs, multiply this figure by your own electricity tariff. Actual thermostatically controlled operating time may differ and depends on heat loss, the desired temperature and usage. The board finish does not deliver a separate savings percentage. View the consumption guide to organise your own details in the same way.

Choose a measurement position that usefully represents the intended room. Direct sunlight, draughts or heat from another appliance can affect the measurement. In a kitchen, normal usage times and existing appliances also matter. A sensor position is therefore not chosen solely because there is a free piece of wall. Record the position and check how the system responds during normal use after commissioning. Suitable measurement supports an understandable heating programme.
Monitor usage over a representative period when refining the programme. Record occupancy, starting conditions and unusual circumstances, so consumption differences remain explainable. A colder season or longer usage can give a different result. Check both room conditions and practical operation. This lets you make targeted adjustments and retain insight into the installation’s function. One brief measurement does not describe a room’s complete heating requirements.
A quotation for your panel and interior function
Send the desired TA version, room dimensions and photos of the available wall. Describe your heating preferences and how you want to use the board. Specify which existing heating remains and where a connection is possible. If the room is still being renovated, state which dimensions and elements are already fixed. With an enquiry for chalkboard heating, we can discuss the appropriate size, output and practical combination for your situation.
Check the panel details, installation components and controls in the proposal. A separate TA version is a different offer from a complete combination with receiver and connection components. Ask what preparation the installer performs and which work falls outside the product supply. The price is determined on request for the selected version. For the current collection, you can also view Welltherm at infraroodpaneel.nl (Opens in a new tab) and discuss the components specifically with us.
Keep the article number, proof of purchase and installation details with the writing and cleaning information. Moving the panel later requires a new assessment of fixings, connection, heat demand and measurement position. The original front may still have the same note-taking function, but the new room has different conditions. Also use the warranty terms for the specific purchase. Separate accessories may have different conditions; therefore keep product details clearly identified by component.
The technical basis is in the Welltherm manual for glass panels alongside the current TA specifications. If you have an existing version, check the document version and connection associated with that appliance. With clear room details and the exact item, we can discuss the board function and heating task together. The chosen version then becomes an identifiable part of your interior and a suitably prepared heating product.
Documentation for your version
Match the product information and installation instructions to your chosen article number. On the downloads page, we give Dutch documents priority where available.
Questions about infrared chalkboard heating
Can I also use an ordinary black glass panel as a chalkboard?
A black colour does not automatically make a product a chalkboard. Choose the Tafel version intended by Welltherm and use the writing and cleaning instructions for that range.
What do you need for a quotation?
Send the desired item or version, together with the room dimensions and your usage. For a panel, we also assess insulation and the mounting position; for an accessory, we check the combination with the existing product.
