Radiant heat travels through air, and typically heats up objects closer to the panel first and then the rest of the room later. Infrared heating from the panel can be easily detected from about 3-4 feet. Ideally, the radiant panel should be aimed onto the area with more use, since that will be the surface that will warm up first.

We recommend an open 1.5" (3.5cm) space around the edge of the LAVA for air circulation and easier installation. UL requires that the On/Off switch must be operable and visible, and no flammable materials may be used around the LAVA.

Please abide by local electrical code guidelines. Lava may not be installed in "wet locations" such as showers or saunas. The top, bottom, and sides must not be closer than 12 inches from any other object or surface in order to effectively radiate heat. The Lava panels may not be placed behind doors. We do not recommend installing Lava units on ceilings.

The startup heating time for this infrared heating system is approximately 5 to 10 minutes. However, your room will not feel warmer immediately because the cold objects in the room (furniture, walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) need to warm up first. Once these surfaces are heated via infrared heating, the warmth will spread throughout the room.
