Welltherm infrared panels

Choose by characteristics

Which infrared panels suit you?

Comparing infrared panels involves more than colour and output. The material, installation requirements and function of the space also determine which range is suitable. The overview below helps you distinguish the product families. Precise dimensions, outputs and connection details are on the relevant product page. From every family, you can continue to a specific item and its compatible components.

On a narrow screen, you can scroll the comparison table horizontally.

Specialist appliances for desks, church pews and project spaces serve a different function from these standard panel families. Therefore compare them within their own application. They are included in the product overview so that you can also find the right starting point for a specific workplace or larger space.

Choosing glass or metal infrared panels

A metal front and a glass front create a different impression in an interior. Our white metal PB panels have a satin-matt finish. The catalogue also distinguishes Sand and Graphit, an individual RAL colour and a version with an image. Glass options include satin white, a mirror or a writable black surface. First choose the function and appearance you want, then compare the corresponding models.

The panel construction is part of that comparison. The current metal PB panels and glass ranges have ESHC Plus heating technology. For the glass ranges, the catalogue describes ESG-H safety glass with a Heat Soak Test. This provides information about the material and glass inspection; it does not automatically determine the output your room needs. We assess the space and desired heating function separately for that.

Weight, thickness and fixings also differ by version. These details matter for the mounting substrate and the installer’s preparations. Therefore compare the article number in the table for the chosen range. An image of a panel does not show all technical differences. View our metal infrared panels or the Satino matt glass range for a focused next step.

Output and size: compare the exact item

Two infrared panels with approximately the same overall dimensions can have different outputs. An example from the 2026 product catalogue: the metal PB0710 panel measures 59.2 × 119.2 × 1.7 cm and has an output of 710 watts. The glass Satino WS0780 measures 60.0 × 120.0 × 2.2 cm and has an output of 780 watts. Both are rectangular versions, but their material, weight, dimensions and technical details remain different.

A higher wattage does not automatically make a model the best choice. The heating plan must match the space’s heat loss and usage. A room regularly kept at temperature requires a different assessment from a workplace where you want local additional comfort. Panel positioning and any obstacles are also part of the choice. We therefore compare the output together with the mounting position and desired heat distribution.

The catalogue gives indicative room areas for some models. Use these for orientation, not as a fixed guarantee for every home. Insulation, windows, ventilation and the desired temperature affect the final heat demand. We include this information in a suitable selection. Our explanation of calculating the required output gives the starting points for assessing your situation.

Wall, ceiling or a specific place of use

With wall mounting, a panel can form a visible part of the interior. Ceiling mounting leaves wall space available for furniture and other functions. Always check whether the chosen model is intended for the desired position. Satino and Satino PRO look similar, but have an important installation distinction: the PRO version is exclusively intended for the ceiling because of its higher surface temperature.

For infrared panel installation, we also compare the substrate, available space and prescribed fixings. A recessed frame, stand or lighting frame is associated with specific panel dimensions and versions. Choose these accessories based on confirmed compatibility. Simply seeing that their dimensions approximately match is insufficient. The product pages explain which solutions are intended for the relevant family and what preparation is needed.

With desk heating and church pew heating, the place of use is the product’s starting point. These appliances direct heat to the foot area and have their own fixing methods. In an industrial hall, ceiling height and the layout of work zones also matter. View the installation accessories or our commercial heating solutions when the application calls for a specialist choice.

Controls and connections are part of product selection

We select a panel and its temperature controls as a combination. The precon connector system, receiver and thermostat must suit the version you choose. In an existing installation, knowing the model codes matters. A plug shape or the general term wireless thermostat alone does not tell you whether components can work together. We help you check the specific combination before ordering or extending it.

For the applicable infrared panels, the product catalogue states that a suitable controller must be added. Therefore also decide how you want to control the temperature, when you use the room and where the temperature is measured. Separate controls may suit separate rooms. For app control, we check which additional equipment belongs to the selected control range.

You should not simply assume that a timer, receiver or app function is a feature of every panel. The available operation follows from the complete configuration. Use the explanation of precon and connection components to understand the relationships. Our page on thermostats and controls then helps you choose from the range we present for the Benelux.

Mirror, personalised image or bathroom function

A mirror panel combines a reflective surface with heating. A panel with an image instead has a decorative function alongside its heat output. For a personalised photo, we discuss cropping, panel size and source file quality. An image that works well on your phone is not automatically suitable for a large print. Therefore discuss the version before preparing the final file.

For the metal image panels, the catalogue lists JPEG, TIFF and PSD as possible source formats, with a preferred resolution of 300 dpi and a minimum of 100 dpi at the heating panel’s size. We assess the file in relation to the selected panel dimensions. A colour proof also remains an approximation: the material may cause small colour variations. View the panels with a personalised photo for the image selection steps.

For bathrooms, there is a separate BKW Plus family with a dual heating system. The upper section provides space heating and the lower section suitable towel drying. This differs from a standard mirror or glass panel. We check the compatible rails, installation requirements and controls for the exact item. View the bathroom solutions to compare these functions carefully.

From comparing infrared panels to a complete quotation

When comparing, note the full model code, not just the range name. A range can include several outputs and overall dimensions. Also specify the chosen finish, mounting position and desired controls. This clarifies the combination you mean. For a project with different versions, an overview by room helps keep the product choices and quantities together.

For an existing system, photos of the rating plate, connection and control components are useful. They help us assess more specifically what you want to extend or replace. The product information for a new version is not automatically the manual for an older version with a similar name. Therefore use the document version associated with your specific item for maintenance or installation. Our downloads page provides documentation by product group.

Would you like to see infrared panels in a room first? Use our dealer page to find a suitable showroom or partner and arrange beforehand which versions are present. Not every location displays every model. A visit helps you assess materials and finishes, while output selection remains a separate part of the advice. Communicate your preferences beforehand so the appointment addresses your questions.

When choosing, check which quality features apply to the relevant product range. We present the EIHA European Quality Label for Infrared Heating for the metal PB range. Markings on a product page must not automatically be assumed to apply to every accessory. The applicable panels have a five-year manufacturer’s warranty under the warranty terms; check the chosen item’s conditions and retain the purchase details.

You can compare the finishes further in our product catalogue. For available retail prices and ordering, visit the Welltherm selection at infraroodpaneel.nl ↗ (Opens in a new tab). For a complete heating plan, we discuss your space and the required components. An individual panel price is only one element; controls and any installation accessories are also part of the configuration.

Include the room dimensions, existing heating, desired finish and available mounting positions with your quotation request. For several rooms, an overview by room helps. You do not need to determine the final required output yourself: we discuss what further information is needed for the advice.
