Ecostrad Opus IR Infrared Ceiling Panel with Remote - 270w (595 x 595mm)

A space-saving alternative to traditional heating systems, the Ecostrad Opus IR Infrared Ceiling Panel gently warms rooms from the top down so that all of the heat created goes directly to where it’s needed. This 270w infrared heater is able to warm up to 5m² and makes a superb option for smaller rooms where space comes at a premium.

Opus infrared panels warm spaces using radiant heat, which is absorbed by the brickwork of your property to bring rooms up to comfort temperature. It doesn’t rely on the surrounding air to transfer warmth so no heat is lost through draughts. This means your rooms stay warmer for longer, using less energy in the process. On the inside of the panel is a carbon crystal film element that efficiently emits warmth into the room, and to prevent heat loss, the Opus also contains a layer of polyurethane insulation at the rear. The elements are covered in a special fire-resistant, patented coating which protects the appliance and also increases heat conduction.

The remote control supplied with each Opus IR panel acts as both the room thermostat and the programmer, allowing you to set a custom weekly schedule using its digital interface. You can set an interval Monday to Friday to create start and finish times for your heating during the working week, and set intervals for Saturday and Sunday separately. It also provides access to a comfort override option, as well as open window detection and adaptive start functions. Each remote can be used with any number of Opus IR panels so you can have multiple heaters follow the same routine. If you would prefer to use the heater with an external controller, you can simply use the bypass switch on the rear of the panel which gives you the option of changing your control preference further down the line.

This panel can be installed in multiple ways. It can be purchased with a direct mounting kit for a fitting that hugs the ceiling or purchased with a suspension kit so that it can hang down at the height of your choosing. The dimensions of the 270w panel also make it compatible with office ceiling grids and can be simply slotted into place with no additional kits required.
