Sol*Aire infrared mirror heaters combine a functional bathroom or hallway mirror with a flat-panel infrared heater built into the rear of the glass, saving wall space while providing targeted radiant warmth. The mirrors are available in several sizes with heater outputs typically ranging from 300W to 600W. Because infrared heat warms surfaces directly rather than the air, these mirrors are particularly well suited to hallways and bathrooms where doors opening and closing cause frequent air movement.
Everything you need to know
An infrared mirror heater has a flat infrared heating element bonded behind a glass mirror panel. When switched on, the element emits long-wave infrared radiation that warms objects and people in its path. The mirror surface itself does not become dangerously hot because the heat is radiant rather than conducted through the glass, making it safe to touch briefly under normal operating conditions.
Sol*Aire infrared mirror heaters designed for bathroom use carry the IP rating required for safe installation in the relevant bathroom zone. Check the IP rating on the product page before purchasing for bathroom use. All bathroom electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified electrician in compliance with BS 7671 and Part P of the Building Regulations.
The infrared heat emitted from behind the mirror warms the glass surface sufficiently to reduce condensation in most cases, meaning the mirror is less likely to mist up after a shower or bath compared with a cold unheated mirror. The anti-condensation effect varies by model and bathroom ventilation, but it is generally a practical benefit of this heater type.
Yes. Infrared mirror heaters are well suited to hallways because infrared radiant heat is not dispersed by draughts in the way that convection heating is. A mirror heater also serves a dual purpose as a functional mirror, which is particularly useful in narrow hallways where a dedicated panel heater would take up limited wall space.
Sol*Aire infrared mirror heaters are typically controlled via an in-line pull cord, a wall switch, or a separate thermostat, depending on the model. Some models include a built-in timer. For precise control, pair the heater with an external programmable thermostat. Check the individual product page for the specific control options supplied with each mirror size and output.
