Project Information

The challenge for the Lee's Summit homeowner was typical for a modern master bath: how to get comfortable, immediate heat without running a costly, noisy furnace, and how to keep a large mirror functional after showering. They chose the 600W Ember Mirror Radiant Panel Heater for its sleek glass finish and dual-purpose functionality.

The installation was straightforward, allowing for either a simple plug-in operation or a discreet hardwired setup. The slim, wall-mounted unit was easily integrated into the existing bathroom design. Once installed, the mirror provided a gentle, even spread of radiant heat that warmed people and objects directly, making the tiled space feel significantly more comfortable. Crucially, the radiant heat directly prevents moisture from condensing on the mirror's surface, ensuring a completely fog-free reflection every time. This simple yet powerful upgrade has transformed the master bath into a truly comfortable and high-functioning luxury space.
