The ECOSUN GS designer glass infrared radiator is a stylish frameless heating panel that combines efficient radiant warmth with elegant glass or mirror finishes. Designed for both wall and ceiling installation, it provides comfortable infrared heating while enhancing the appearance of modern interiors.

Using far-infrared technology, the panel warms people and surfaces directly rather than heating the air. This helps reduce heat loss, improve comfort and support lower energy consumption compared with many traditional heating systems.

Product Overview

The ultra-slim frameless design allows the ECOSUN GS panel to integrate seamlessly into contemporary spaces including bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, offices and commercial interiors. The heating surface is manufactured from 4mm safety glass (6mm on mirror models), providing both durability and refined aesthetics.

Glass infrared panels offer excellent thermal comfort by minimising convection currents and delivering gentle radiant warmth. This makes them ideal for allergy-friendly environments and spaces where quiet operation is important.

Key Features

• Elegant frameless designer glass or mirror finish
• Wall or ceiling mounted installation
• Silent operation with no fan or airflow
• Low maintenance radiant heating technology
• Suitable for domestic and commercial environments
• Helps reduce cold wall surfaces and condensation risk
• Can be used for zoned heating or full room heating
• High energy efficiency compared with many convection systems

Heating Performance & Energy Efficiency

Infrared panels provide comfort by warming occupants and building fabric rather than relying on heated air circulation. This often allows comfortable conditions to be achieved at slightly lower thermostat settings.

• Fast feeling of warmth after switch-on
• Reduced heat stratification in taller rooms
• Supports energy-efficient heating layouts
• Works effectively alongside smart thermostats and zoning

Typical Running Costs

Running costs depend on insulation levels, room size, ceiling height and heating schedules. As a general guide, a correctly sized infrared panel may run between 15p–35p per hour depending on wattage and electricity tariff. Zoned heating and smart controls can significantly reduce overall energy use.

Design & Installation Flexibility

Wall Mounted

Ideal for directional heating towards seating areas, beds or workspaces.

Ceiling Mounted

Provides more even heat coverage and frees wall space — popular in bathrooms, kitchens and commercial interiors.

An additional ceiling mounting frame is available for increased installation support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ECOSUN GS suitable for bathrooms?

Yes. When installed correctly outside splash zones by a qualified electrician, glass infrared panels are popular bathroom heating solutions.

Can this be the main heating for a room?

Yes, in well-insulated spaces. Larger rooms may require multiple panels or a combined heating layout.

Does infrared heating reduce running costs?

Radiant heating can improve comfort efficiency by warming people and surfaces directly, reducing wasted heat.

How do I know what size panel to choose?

Room dimensions, insulation, glazing and ceiling height all influence sizing. A heat loss calculation provides a useful starting point.

Will the mirror still heat effectively?

Yes. The heating element radiates warmth through the glass surface without reducing performance.

Do infrared panels cause dust circulation?

No. They operate silently with no fan or air movement.

Can I control this heater with a smart thermostat?

Yes. Infrared panels work very well with zoning controls and smart thermostats.

How quickly does infrared heating feel warm?

Radiant warmth is felt within minutes as surfaces and occupants absorb the energy.

Can infrared panels help reduce condensation?

They warm walls and building fabric which can help reduce cold surfaces where condensation forms.

Is ceiling mounting better?

Ceiling mounting can provide more even coverage and maximise usable wall space.
