Herschel infrared heating panels were selected as the optimal heating solution for a contemporary pool house renovation, designed to meet high standards of modern living, energy efficiency, and architectural integration. The space required a heating system that could deliver rapid, even warmth without compromising on aesthetics or floor space.
The Challenge
Traditional convection heating systems often struggle in open-plan, well-glazed spaces due to heat stratification and energy loss. The pool house design—featuring large bifold doors, high ceilings, and minimal interior walls—demanded a solution that could efficiently heat occupants and surfaces directly, rather than wasting energy warming air that quickly escapes.
Herschel’s Solution
Herschel’s slim, ceiling-mounted electric infrared panels were installed to provide targeted, radiant heat. The white panels blend seamlessly into the bright, airy interior, complementing the clean architectural lines and birch plywood finishes. By mounting the heaters on the ceiling, valuable floor and wall space was preserved, and installation was completed rapidly with minimal disruption.
“Discreet, practical details such as the ceiling mounted infrared heater, show the attention and care for detail in the project” – Designer
Infrared heating works by directly warming people and objects, much like sunlight, ensuring consistent comfort without drafts or cold spots. This method is particularly effective in spaces with high thermal mass and intermittent use, offering quick response times and reduced energy consumption.
Client Testimonial
“We think the infrared heating is fantastic. It warms the space quickly and efficiently, and we love the discreet design. Having a ceiling-mounted heater has also enabled us to free up valuable floor space.”
