Project Information
The challenge in this Kansas City bathroom renovation was twofold: providing sufficient, comfortable heat in a smaller, moisture-prone space, and avoiding the clunky look of a traditional space heater. Forced-air systems are often inefficient in bathrooms, as they waste energy trying to heat the air, which quickly escapes. The homeowner sought a supplemental heat source that wouldn't circulate dust or allergens and could seamlessly blend into the modern design.
The solution was the Ember Mirror Radiant Panel. Utilizing infrared radiant heating, the panel warms objects and people directly—just like the sun—providing a soothing, deep heat immediately upon activation. This targeted heat is highly efficient. Installed directly on the wall, the unit not only provides heat but also functions as a beautiful, modern mirror that actively prevents fogging after showers, eliminating a common bathroom nuisance.
The unit’s versatility allowed the homeowner to choose a plug-in or hardwired connection, offering flexibility during installation. The final outcome is a high-end, comfortable, and energy-conscious bathroom that showcases the perfect marriage of form and function, turning a chilly morning routine into a warm, luxurious experience.
