This project in Spruce Grove, Alberta, addressed the homeowner's challenge of a perpetually cold master bathroom, a common issue in Canadian homes, especially during long winters. By installing a sleek WarmlyYours Ember Mirror Radiant Panel Heater directly on the wall, the problem was solved with a single, elegant fixture that provides silent, efficient infrared heat. The result is a luxurious, spa-like environment that offers comfortable, supplemental warmth and adds significant functional value with its fog-free mirror design, all while being incredibly economical to operate.

Project Information

The homeowners in Spruce Grove, AB, needed a reliable source of supplemental heat for their master bathroom. With Alberta's famously cold winters, the bathroom was often the chilliest room in the house, making the morning routine uncomfortable. They considered traditional space heaters but wanted a cleaner, more permanent, and aesthetically pleasing solution.

WarmlyYours's Ember Mirror Radiant Panel Heater was the ideal solution. Its dual function as a modern, frameless mirror and an infrared heater allowed it to blend seamlessly into the existing decor. The panel was mounted on the wall and plugged directly into a standard outlet (though it can also be hardwired), offering a simple, non-invasive installation. The infrared heat immediately solved the core problem: unlike forced-air systems that only heat the air, the radiant panel warms objects and people directly. This means stepping out of the shower and into a beam of direct, sun-like warmth. Furthermore, the heat output keeps the mirror surface above the dew point, eliminating fogging, which is a major convenience in a busy bathroom.

Ember Mirror Radiant Panel Heater

This innovative product is a 35″×24″ frameless glass mirror that doubles as a 600W infrared heater. It provides supplemental warmth for spaces up to 86 square feet. The mirror surface heats up to a comfortable temperature, radiating silent, draft-free heat directly to occupants and surrounding surfaces. It also acts as a natural defogger for the mirror and, with an optional accessory, can function as a towel warmer. It is dual-connection, meaning it can be plugged into a standard 120V outlet or hardwired for a seamless, permanent installation.

* This 600W Ember Mirror panel is extremely economical to run, costing approximately $0.05 per hour based on a competitive Alberta fixed electricity rate. This low cost translates to only about $0.41 per day for 8 hours of use, providing affordable, targeted comfort exactly when you need

Frequently Asked Questions


The 600W Ember Mirror Panel costs approximately $0.052 per hour to run, based on an average local electricity rate of $0.0863 per kWh. For daily and monthly budgeting, running the panel intermittently for 8 hours a day would cost about $0.42 per day, or roughly $12.60 per month, making it a very economical luxury.
For a space up to 86 square feet, a 600W radiant panel is typically designed for supplemental heat, working with the home’s primary system to boost comfort where it is most needed. However, in small, well-insulated bathrooms, it can often be the primary heat source. It excels at delivering direct, immediate warmth, which is often preferred over raising the ambient air temperature of the entire room.
Yes. Electric radiant heating, especially a highly efficient infrared panel like the Ember Mirror, converts almost 100% of electrical energy into usable heat. Since it heats objects directly (not the air), there is minimal heat loss, and you can achieve a comfortable feeling at lower thermostat settings. This "zone heating" ability makes it more efficient than heating the entire home just to warm one room.
The heater can become very hot when in use, reaching temperatures of up to 120°C (248°F).
