The Herschel Krystal Infrared Panel Heater is a premium microcrystal glass infrared heating panel designed for high-performance, space-saving heating in both commercial and residential environments. Combining advanced COSIX Cell Technology with elegant glass design, Krystal delivers efficient, silent warmth with a strong architectural presence.
Advanced Infrared Heating with COSIX Cell Technology
At the core of the Herschel Krystal is COSIX Cell Technology, a next-generation infrared heating system engineered for fast response times, high radiant efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Unlike traditional electric heaters, COSIX technology ensures heat is delivered evenly across the panel surface, producing comfortable, sun-like warmth that heats people and surfaces directly rather than wasting energy warming the air.
Microcrystal Glass Heater – Design Meets Performance
The Krystal panel is constructed from high-quality microcrystal glass, offering a sleek, contemporary finish that complements modern interiors while delivering outstanding thermal performance. At less than a quarter of the size of most far infrared panel heaters, but offering similar power output, Krystal’s big advantages are in its space-saving and fast warm-up times.

This makes the Krystal a popular choice for designer infrared panels, wellness spaces, and modern architectural environments.
Flexible Installation – Wall or Ceiling Mounted
Ceiling Mounted Infrared Panel
The Krystal can be installed as a ceiling mounted infrared panel, making it ideal for:
-
Space-saving installations
-
Even heat distribution
-
Environments where wall space is limited
Wall Mounted Heater Option
When wall-mounted, the panel provides effective directional heat while maintaining a minimal footprint, making it suitable for both compact rooms and open-plan areas.
Suitable for Bathrooms & Humid Environments
With an IP44 rating, the Herschel Krystal is suitable for use in bathrooms and other humid environments when installed in accordance with regulations. The glass surface is easy to clean and resistant to moisture, making it a practical and hygienic heating solution.
Ideal for Commercial & Residential Use
The Herschel Krystal is designed to perform across a wide range of applications.
Usage-Based Applications
-
Commercial infrared heating for offices, studios, and retail spaces
-
Residential smart heating for modern homes and apartments
-
Yoga studio heating where silent, radiant warmth is essential
-

-
Low maintenance heater for long-term, hassle-free operation
Infrared heating’s ability to create thermal comfort without air movement makes it especially popular in wellness and studio environments.
Energy Efficiency & Smart Control Compatibility
The Krystal infrared panel converts almost all of the electricity it uses into usable heat, making it an eco-friendly heating solution well suited to modern energy-conscious buildings.
When paired with compatible smart controls, it supports:
-
Zoned heating
-
Reduced energy consumption
-
Accurate temperature control
This makes it an excellent choice for eco-friendly heating solutions and low-carbon electric heating systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is COSIX Cell Technology?
COSIX Cell Technology is an advanced infrared heating system that delivers fast, efficient, and evenly distributed radiant heat across the panel surface.
Can the Herschel Krystal be ceiling mounted?
Yes. The Krystal is designed for both wall and ceiling mounting, offering flexibility and improved heat distribution.
- Enhanced Efficiency: The COSIX element is designed to be highly efficient, with Herschel claiming up to 10% more effectiveness than some competitor products. It focuses heat directionally, avoiding wasteful heat dissipation into the heater's casing.
- Even Heat Distribution: Lower quality panels (e.g., some carbon fibre types) often have uneven heat distribution with "cold spots". COSIX Cell technology, often paired with microcrystal ceramic glass, ensures a more uniform surface temperature across the panel, leading to more effective and consistent heating of the room.
- Faster Warm-up: Heaters with COSIX Cell technology warm up rapidly, providing quick and effective warmth. This rapid response works well with smart controls like PIR motion sensors for on-demand heating, reducing energy waste in unoccupied rooms.
Is the Krystal suitable for bathrooms?
Yes. With its IP44 rating, the Krystal is suitable for bathroom installations when fitted in accordance with safety regulations.
Is this heater suitable for yoga studios?
Absolutely. Infrared heating provides silent, gentle warmth without air movement, making it ideal for yoga studios and wellness spaces.
Does the glass surface get hot?
Like all infrared panels, the surface becomes warm during operation. It should be installed out of reach where required, particularly in commercial settings.
Control of the Herschel Krystal infrared panel heater is via hard wiring to one of Herschel’s iQ range of thermostats (purchased separately). Due to its fast warm-up times, Krystal also works exceptionally well with Herschel’s PIR sensor, so you can fine-tune your energy use to set infrequently used rooms to a lower temperature and boost the power only when you’re in them.
Please consider your ceiling mounting preference when ordering. Note swivel brackets are supplied, the alternative mounting brackets require additional kits to be purchased such as Herschel Krystal white ceiling recess kit.
