How do natural stone heating panels work?

The beautiful natural stone heating panels, precision-manufactured by German company Eurotherm, emit radiant heat, like the sun or tiled stoves. They work on a similar principle to under-floor heating and can be supplied with thermostats to maximise efficiency and keep your rooms at a constant temperature. They are economical to run. All you need is an electric power supply.

Advantages of radiant heat
Radiant heat works most efficiently when free of obstructions like furniture, rugs etc. By fitting the panel to your wall or ceiling, you will reduce running costs and benefit from full, unobstructed radiant heat.

Unlike normal convection heat from standard radiators, radiant rays heat the entire room. The walls, floor and ceiling all reach a pleasant ambient temperature, so there are no cold spots. There is also no warming air cycle, so less dust is disturbed, making them a great alternative for asthma sufferers. The natural stone heating panels achieve a similar feeling of inner well-being to soaking up the warming rays of the sun, which also makes them a big hit with arthritis sufferers too.

Additional benefits
Living or working in a building warmed by radiant heat has many practical benefits as well as creating a healthy environment. A comfortable level of humidity will be maintained because the natural stone panels soak up damp and moisture like a sponge and then emit them again as required. The chance of mould or damp stains growing on outer walls will be greatly reduced, and you’ll even be able to cut down on the dusting. A win-win situation!
