In the list of requirements for heaters is not the last place its size and the space it will take. Since bathrooms are usually small in size, wall heaters are a great option. Today, fortunately, you can see many types on the market and choose the right one.

The advantages of such devices can include the following characteristics:

7. Simplicity and ease of use. Absolutely all modern models of heaters are equipped with an automatic heat regulator. Some more expensive models are also equipped with a timer, Restart function, remote control for remote control and other convenient functions.

As for the disadvantages of these devices, they are generally absent. The only thing to note is that in homes where the power is often cut off, the use of such heaters is not rational.

Wall heaters are used not only as an additional source of heat, but also as the main way of heating. There are several basic types of wall-mounted heaters. Let's take a look at some of them.

Convector-type heaters are designed to heat the air in the room. The material for the body is strong steel. The thickness of the body is more than 0.8 mm. On the outside there is a thermostat and control buttons.

The heating element inside, is powered by electricity and comes in three varieties:

1. Fan - a tubular-shaped device, on which there is an aluminum heating element in the form of ribs. The more ribs, the higher the heat output.
2. Ribbon heating element, which consists of a dielectric plate with chrome-nickel hinges on both ends of the two sides. Because of their brittleness and low heat output, such heating element designs are now almost never produced.
3. Monolithic refers to nichrome filaments arranged in an aluminum ribbed shell. This is the most efficient design for heating, but it is not cheap.

Infrared heaters come in two main types: film and panel heaters. The work of infrared heaters is not to heat the air in the room, but the objects and people themselves. This is done by spreading infrared rays, which turn into heat energy and heat objects first, and then the air itself. This is the fastest and most economical way to heat a room. Infrared heaters can be used to heat a certain part of the room (for example, the part of the bathroom where people are most often present).

The film heater of infrared type, in addition to its main function of heating, also performs a decorative task. The heating part is the infrared film, which is in a sheath with a pattern. Almost all reviews of these heaters are positive. The maximum body temperature is 60 degrees Celsius, but on contact, the temperature in these areas decreases rapidly. This dramatically increases the safety of the device both for the room and for its occupants, especially small children. The only disadvantage of film heaters is that it is impossible to heat large rooms with their help.

Such a device for heating can work from electricity and gas. The outer part is made of metal. The heating part in the form of a plate is made of many ceramic parts. This design allows you to quickly and evenly heat large rooms. They are usually installed either under the window sill, that is closer to the floor, or high - under the ceiling. Their design allows them to fit into any interior. Some models can be controlled remotely. The compactness and ease of installation allows them to be moved from one room to another.

In the article about wall heaters, it is impossible not to mention electric towel dryers. They have a tubular shape and are designed to dry linen and towels. Such devices, although not strongly warm the room, but are ideal as an additional source of heat.

When buying wall heaters for the bathroom, the decisive parameters, as well as when buying other devices for heating become first the budget, and then the area of the room. First, determine the power you need. Choose a certain type of heater, learn about the mounting methods and characteristics of the heater. Do not forget about the safety requirements and the appearance of the device.
