The Herschel Inspire Picture Infrared Panel Heater combines efficient infrared heating with fully customisable artwork, allowing you to heat your space discreetly while showcasing your own image or design. It’s a slimline, wall-mounted heating solution that delivers comfortable, healthy warmth without compromising on style.
If you’re new to infrared, our Infrared Heating Guide and Infrared Panel Heaters User Guide explain how radiant heat works, how to size panels, and how to get the best efficiency with zoning.
Infrared Heating Benefits for Modern Homes
Infrared heating works differently from traditional convection systems. Instead of heating the air, infrared panels warm people, surfaces, and objects directly—much like the sun—creating a more even and comfortable temperature throughout the room.
This makes the Herschel Inspire an excellent choice for energy-efficient home heating in the UK, especially in well-insulated properties.
For practical tips on running costs, zoning and reducing wasted heat, see our Carbon Neutral Heating Guide.
Are Infrared Panels Healthy?

- Creates a more natural, comfortable indoor environment
Custom Picture Infrared Panel – Heating That Becomes Art
The Herschel Inspire is a custom picture infrared panel, allowing you to personalise the heater with your own photograph, artwork, or branding. Once installed, it appears as a framed picture rather than a heater.
Frameless Glass Infrared Panel Heater
- High-quality glass surface
