Product Information
Full details
The Radi8 580W frameless infrared panel is designed for individuals seeking quiet, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing heating for medium-sized domestic and commercial spaces up to 9m². Its key benefit is providing consistent, even warmth by directly heating surfaces and people, reducing wasted energy and drafts associated with convection heating. A key consideration is that it requires a separate smart thermostat for full control, as it does not have a built-in one. This slimline panel offers a modern, borderless design that integrates seamlessly into walls, enhancing room aesthetics while delivering powerful, sustainable heating using recyclable materials.

What is the maximum room size for this panel?

Can this panel be mounted on the ceiling?
No, this panel is designed strictly for wall-mount installation. It is not intended for ceiling mounting or freestanding use.
How does infrared heating work?
Infrared heating panels emit safe far-infrared waves that directly heat surfaces and people in the room, providing a gentle, consistent warmth without circulating air.
Is the panel silent?
Yes, the Radi8 infrared panels operate silently, making them ideal for bedrooms, offices, and quiet living spaces.
What maintenance is required?
Minimal maintenance is required. Periodically wipe the panel surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Ensure the panel is off and cool before cleaning.
Are the materials used sustainable?

Troubleshooting
Panel not heating
Verify that the panel is correctly connected to a powered Radi8 smart thermostat. Check the thermostat's settings and ensure it is switched on and set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature. Confirm the circuit breaker for the heating system is engaged.
Uneven heating
Ensure the panel is mounted centrally within the recommended area (up to 9m²) and is not obstructed. Check room insulation levels, as poor insulation can affect heat distribution. If using zoning, verify zone settings on the smart thermostat.
Thermostat not connecting to panel
Refer to the Radi8 smart thermostat's manual for re-pairing instructions. Ensure both the thermostat and the panel are within range and correctly powered. Reset both devices if necessary.
Panel surface shows discoloration
This can occur from dust buildup or specific types of airborne particles. Clean the panel surface gently with a slightly damp cloth as per the care instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
