A CAREFULLY DESIGNED BATHROOM
Comfort and appearance considered together.
Start with heating demand and available space. Then choose the version that suits the interior.
FOUR QUESTIONS FOR A GOOD PROPOSAL
What makes your bathroom unique.
How large is the room?
Floor area, height and insulation provide context for heating demand.
What will remain?
Primary heating or supplementation of an existing system?
Where will the panel go?
Wall space, bathroom zones and connections determine the possibilities.
When do you want warmth?
Operating times help select suitable controls.
FROM FLOOR PLAN TO PROPOSAL
Let us assess it with you.
A photograph or simple floor plan helps discuss positioning and versions. Add it to your enquiry.
Practical preparation
- Estimated dimensions
- Current heating
- Photographs of available wall space
- Preference for a mirror or panel
Can an infrared panel be the only bathroom heating?
We assess this according to heating demand, positioning and use. Existing underfloor heating or other heating is included in the proposal.
Can I hang a towel on the panel?
Choose a specific BP bathroom panel with compatible series-specific rails. The dual system uses the upper section for room heating and the lower section for towel drying. When mounted vertically with the cable at the bottom, the upper 75 centimetres must remain completely free of textiles across the full width. An ordinary infrared panel must not be covered with a towel. For your preparation, you can prepare your bathroom panel selection.

Infrared bathroom heating based on your routine
Infrared bathroom heating is selected according to the room and when you want warmth. A short morning routine, long baths and daily use by several people create different usage patterns. Start with the desired function. Should the new installation heat the whole bathroom, or provide supplementary warmth alongside existing underfloor heating? That distinction determines how output, positioning and controls are assessed. Panel appearance is considered within the technically suitable options.

A bathroom contains many fixed fixtures within a limited area. A shower, bath, vanity unit and door determine where a heating product can be positioned. Mark them on a simple floor plan and identify available wall space. Include the window and possible electrical connection points. We can then connect heating requirements to concrete mounting positions. An empty wall in a photograph is not automatically suitable for every panel series.
Describe existing heating and what will remain. A panel for extra comfort during a morning routine has a different task from replacing all heat in the room. When primary heating is required, we consider insulation, heat loss and desired temperature throughout the room. For supplementation, a specific occupied position or time may be central. With that clear task, we can compare solutions for the same function.
Welltherm manufactures the panels and HeatXL handles distribution in the Benelux. We help connect version, output and control selection to your bathroom. A proposal describes the specific product combination and preparation. During renovation, these details can be included before tiling and connections are finalised. Interior and installation are then planned for the same situation, rather than fitting the product selection into a remaining wall area after finishing.
Compare mirrors, ordinary panels and towel functions
A mirror panel combines a reflective front with heating. The SP series has various dimensions and outputs and is assessed as its own glass product. Mirror dimensions that fit a vanity unit comfortably do not automatically provide enough capacity for the entire bathroom. Mounting and electrical positioning also follow the specific model instructions. Explore infrared mirror heating when daily mirror use forms part of your heating selection, and state the intended function in your enquiry.

An ordinary glass or metal panel has its own construction and protection rating. Do not choose solely by similar colour or shape. Permitted positioning and electrical preparation belong to the article. A standard glass range and dedicated bathroom panel may therefore have different mounting conditions. We compare the product option with sanitary layout and intended use. This provides a clearer comparison than treating every flat front as the same type of bathroom heating.
BP bathroom panels form a separate product group for room warmth and an appropriate towel function. The dual system uses the upper section for room heating and lower section for towel drying. Accompanying series-specific rails are selected for the particular version. An ordinary radiator bracket or arbitrary towel bar is not a substitute. State immediately whether towel use is desired so product selection and accessories can be prepared as a compatible combination.
A BP front can be selected in glass or metal within current variants. BPWS Satino has a satin glass front; metal versions include white, graphite black and sand. Material selection affects appearance, while dimensions, output and permitted mounting are also compared. A dark version is not automatically a custom RAL panel. Use the article number to establish which series, finish and towel combination your proposal specifies.
Current BP dimensions and available wall space
The BP range includes 550, 660 and 850-watt versions with heights of 120, 150 and 180 centimetres and a width of 60 centimetres. Material variants have their own depth and weight. A satin glass front, for example, has a different construction from the silk matt white metal version. Choose using complete article details and available wall space. The tallest panel has different output and practical towel options; these characteristics are connected to the room together.
The white metal BPPB version is RAL 9003 with a silk matt finish. BPMG is graphite black RAL 9011 with a textured front; BPSA has a sand finish. These are specific product finishes. A requirement for exactly the same shade as existing furniture therefore calls for discussing the selected variant and colour impression. Consider the finish with lighting and surroundings. A screen or example photograph cannot fully capture its actual appearance on the bathroom wall.
The BKMW0660 set article is a specific white metal combination with 660 watts and an accompanying white holder. A set is therefore recognisably different from a standalone front with separately chosen rails. Record which components are supplied in a proposal. This helps comparison and mounting preparation. A general image of a panel with a towel rail does not automatically show the contents of every other combination. For your selection, article number, dimensions and compatible accessories are decisive.

Available wall height is compared with actual mounting. Allow for prescribed clearances, connections and daily access to towel rails. Include a door opening past the panel and nearby cupboards in the drawing. A practical panel plan considers normal use, not just a photograph of an empty wall. Distances to sanitary fixtures are also included in the electrical assessment.
Towels only on the intended rails
BP panels are mounted vertically on the wall with the cable at the bottom according to model instructions. For towel use, the upper 75 centimetres must remain completely free of textiles across the full width. That section is the room-heating zone. Towels are used on prescribed rails in the intended lower section. A cloth over the entire front or a towel on an ordinary panel is not correct use. Keep this division clear during selection and mounting.
Current BEE rails include versions open at one side in 43 and 55 centimetres and a continuous 65-centimetre version. Select the compatible article according to the panel and desired practical access. An older brochure or existing installation may show other rail articles. For replacement, provide rating plate details and photographs. We assess the current combination using those data so a similar appearance is not mistaken for a suitable component.
For a quotation, panel series, dimensions and desired rail quantity are important details. Also state how many towels you normally want to use and where the panel will go. Explore the series-specific towel rails for this selection and read the guide to a Welltherm towel radiator in relation to room warmth and daily towel use. Both functions are assessed as part of one suitable BP arrangement.

The number and position of rails relate to the specific panel size and permitted combination. Different BP heights can offer one, two or three compatible rails within the series. Discuss desired daily towel space and have the combination recorded for the model. More rails do not mean you may use the clear upper heating zone. Rails are positioned according to their model-specific application while preserving the room-heating function the panel must also deliver.
Bathroom positioning and connections before finishing
The BP series has IPX4 and its own bathroom instructions. In that range, zone 2 positioning is permitted within the specific mounting conditions, while zones 0 and 1 are excluded. The standard glass range, including ordinary SP mirror panels, excludes zones 1 and 2. This distinction shows why product name and model manual are needed alongside protection rating. Have a qualified professional assess your bathroom and do not use mounting data for a similar front from another series.
The current BP connection uses a 650-millimetre cable with precon GST15i3. Older product documents may show a different cable or plug. Use current article data for a new installation and check your own version for an existing panel. A qualified professional selects the suitable receiver and connection variant. Explore precon connections and controls when preparing cable routes and components early in renovation.

A floor plan showing bath, shower, fixed walls and connection points makes the assessment concrete. Specify finished dimensions and planned changes. Product selection and electrical preparation can then be discussed before tiling or wall finishing. The existing mirror position or vacant wall section is only a starting point. Mounting must suit the specific series and complete installation, including accessibility and positions of any control components.
Lighting and accessories also receive their own assessment. An LED frame has a separate protection rating, power supply and compatibility. Combining it with a panel does not automatically make it suitable for every bathroom position. Mention that preference in the initial enquiry. The complete installation can then be discussed, avoiding a later search for space for unexpected additional components. Visible appearance and technical preparation are planned around the same combination.
Temperature and operating programme in the actual bathroom
The desired routine determines when warmth is needed. State which mornings and evenings the room is used and whether the bathroom continues to be heated in another way between uses. Panel and surroundings need warm-up time. Required preparation is established from starting conditions, capacity and heat loss. A short shower therefore does not mean a cold room need only be heated when you enter. A suitable programme can be configured around the normal routine.
Choose a suitable measurement location for temperature controls. Direct sunlight, draughts or another heat source can affect readings. The sensor is not chosen as a portable thermometer used to control a different position each time. Establish the fixed measurement position and controls, then check them under normal use after installation. Available thermostats have their own components and system functions. Desired app control is developed as a separate combination, not standard built-in Wi-Fi in the bathroom panel.

The towel function does not replace the room-heating calculation. A panel using towels according to instructions has a particular division of functions. The clear upper zone therefore remains important. Describe how much room heat is required and how you want to use the lower zone. These details help discuss the appropriate BP size. An attractive number of rails is insufficient as the sole selection criterion for a product that must also heat the bathroom.
Ventilation remains part of normal bathroom use. The heating panel supplies warmth, while air exchange retains its own task. Include ventilation and operating times when assessing heat loss and the programme. Another ventilation setting or a window open longer may affect warm-up and consumption. The installation is not selected as guaranteed mould prevention or treatment for moisture problems. Existing moisture problems require separate assessment of their cause and suitable building or ventilation measures.
Compare output, consumption and costs clearly
Electricity consumption follows from output and actual operating time. In a hypothetical example with a 660-watt BP panel, we calculate 0.66 kW multiplied by two hours at full power: 1.32 kWh. Cost is that figure multiplied by your own electricity tariff. This is a calculation example, not a fixed daily cost. Thermostatic operating time depends on insulation, desired temperature, starting conditions and use. Explore the consumption guide to organise your own data.
Product prices are specified on request for the version, quantity and accessories. Ask which rails, connecting components and control components are included in the proposal. Mounting and any electrical preparation may be separate work. A quotation is clearest when the same complete combination is compared. Include planned renovation work in your own budget too. For the current collection, explore Welltherm at infraroodpaneel.nl (Opens in a new tab).

If underfloor heating or another heat source remains, include it in the comparison. A BP panel for supplementary room warmth and towel use has a different task from an installation replacing all bathroom heating. State which function an estimate covers. This prevents comparing amounts describing different heating performance and operating hours. A suitable choice is supported by your desired result, with recognisable assumptions for each component.
After commissioning, assess the programme over a representative period. Record operating times, ventilation and any changes to other heating. A colder season may give different operating times from a short summer measurement. Alongside consumption, consider desired room conditions and practical towel use. This combination allows purposeful adjustments. A fixed savings percentage unrelated to bathroom data does not describe your installation’s actual operation.
A bathroom plan ready for implementation
For an enquiry, gather room dimensions, a floor plan and photographs of possible panel positions. Add existing heating, insulation and normal operating times. State whether you want a mirror, discreet front or BP towel function. If unsure between these options, describe primarily what the product needs to do daily. We can then discuss suitable possibilities. Request a bathroom quotation with these details so the proposal describes your own room and preferences.
Keep the product number, proof of purchase, documentation and control and connection details. Clean the selected version according to its manual and allow the front to cool. During BP use, keep the upper heating zone clear and use only compatible rails. The warranty conditions belong to the specific purchase and version. Separate accessories may have different conditions. Clear records make support for later use or desired expansion more focused.
For BP panels, use the Welltherm manual for bathroom panels ; for the standard glass range, use the corresponding glass documentation . Current article data remain authoritative for the version and connection when older brochures differ. For Benelux support, also contact HeatXL. These sources and your room plan make selection concretely prepared.

Before implementation, check the final article, mounting position and all components. Have the installer assess connections, supporting structure and bathroom positioning. Discuss which stage of renovation suits cabling and fixings. A changed vanity unit or shower layout may affect an earlier choice. Keep the final plan recognisable for everyone carrying out work. Product data and dimensions are adapted to the finished situation before mounting is completed.
