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.
If you are new to radiant heating, our Infrared Heating Guide and Infrared Panel Heaters User Guide explain how infrared works, how to size panels correctly, and where they perform best.
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 excellent thermal performance. At a significantly smaller size than many traditional infrared panels, Krystal combines space-saving design with fast warm-up times.
- Superior efficiency: COSIX technology is up to 10% more effective at producing radiant heat compared to traditional systems
- Rapid warm-up: reaches operating temperature quickly (typically within 7–10 minutes)
- Even heat distribution: consistent surface temperature without cold spots
- Compact performance: smaller panel size with comparable output (600W / 1000W options)
Designer Infrared Panel for Modern Spaces
- Smooth glass surface with refined aesthetic
- Ideal for design-led residential and commercial interiors
- Discreet appearance with powerful output
This makes the Krystal a strong choice for designer infrared panels, wellness studios, 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:
- Maximising wall space
- Even heat distribution
- Open-plan or design-led environments
Wall Mounted Option
When wall-mounted, the panel provides effective directional heat while maintaining a minimal footprint, making it suitable for both compact rooms and larger spaces.
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 moisture-resistant, making it a hygienic and practical heating solution.
For safe heater selection in wet rooms, see our Bathroom Heaters User Guide.
Ideal for Commercial & Residential Use
The Herschel Krystal is designed for a wide range of applications:
- Commercial heating for offices, studios, and retail
- Residential heating for modern homes and apartments
- Wellness spaces such as yoga or treatment rooms
- Space-saving installations where wall space is limited
- Low-maintenance heating for long-term use
Infrared heating’s ability to create comfort without air movement makes it especially suited to quiet, controlled environments.
Energy Efficiency & Smart Control Compatibility
The Krystal converts almost all electricity into usable heat, making it a highly efficient electric heating solution for modern buildings.
When paired with compatible controls, it supports:
- Zoned heating
- Reduced energy usage
- Accurate temperature control
For practical ways to reduce energy use, read our Carbon Neutral Heating Guide.
Control is via hard wiring to Herschel’s iQ thermostat range (sold separately). Due to its fast warm-up times, Krystal also works very well with a PIR sensor, allowing rooms to remain at lower background temperatures and increase output only when occupied.
Please consider your mounting preference when ordering. Swivel brackets are supplied as standard. For recessed installations, additional kits such as the Krystal ceiling recess kit are available.
