The EcoSun U+ Coloured Infrared Heating Panel combines robust radiant heating performance with a choice of coloured finishes, allowing the panel to blend into its surroundings or become a subtle architectural feature. Using energy-efficient infrared technology, it warms people and surfaces directly rather than heating the air — helping reduce heat loss and improve comfort.
Product Overview
Built on the proven EcoSun U+ platform, this panel is particularly well suited to commercial buildings, educational environments, high-use areas and modern homes where dependable heating is essential. Its durable galvanised steel construction and thermocrystal surface finish deliver excellent emissivity and long-term performance.
The slightly textured quartz-based thermocrystal coating increases the effective heat emitting surface area by up to 2.5 times compared with smooth panels. This improves radiant efficiency while maintaining a low-maintenance design.
Slimline and versatile, EcoSun U+ coloured panels can be used as a complete heating system or as zoned heating for specific workspaces, seating areas or rooms.
If you are new to radiant heating, our What is Infrared Heating? guide explains how infrared warmth behaves in real living and working environments.

Heating Performance & Energy Efficiency
Infrared panels provide comfort by warming the building fabric and occupants directly. This allows comfortable conditions to be achieved at lower air temperatures — helping reduce running costs and improve overall efficiency.
- Instant radiant comfort
- Reduced stratification in high ceiling spaces
- Supports lower carbon heating strategies
- Works effectively as primary or supplementary heating
For wider sustainability planning, see our Carbon Neutral Heating Guide which explains how infrared panels can form part of an energy-efficient heating strategy.
Design, Installation & Flexibility
Flexible Mounting Options
- Wall mounted for directional heating
- Ceiling mounted to free wall space
- Suspended in commercial environments
- Suitable for refurbishment and new-build projects
The 300W model replaces a single 600 x 600 ceiling tile, while the 600W version replaces two ceiling tiles — making them ideal for modular ceiling layouts in offices and education buildings.
Zoned Heating Capability
EcoSun U+ panels allow heating to be focused only where needed, helping reduce energy use in large or intermittently occupied spaces.
Planning a full room renovation or heating upgrade?
Infrared panels can work as a standalone heating solution or alongside electric underfloor heating when refurbishing a space. If you are changing flooring, layout or insulation levels, it is worth reviewing our Electric Underfloor Heating Guide to compare whole-room heating options.
Works well with:
- Smart thermostats and heating controls for improved comfort and efficiency
- Insulation boards to reduce heat loss
- Overlay boards when installing heating systems over existing floors
- Underfloor heating compatibility guidance when planning floor finishes
