According to the Globe & Mail…

Unlike convection heating systems, infrared heaters don’t circulate dust, germs or pollen through the air. They heat with electromagnetic waves like the sun. They’ve also been proven to stop the growth of mould and fungus. Given the proliferation of mould in Canadian schools, maybe school boards should be considering Redwell’s chalkboard heater panels as a healthy alternative. There is a roster of images for consumers to choose from for the heaters on the Redwell Canada website…the 15 images include stunning photographic works, a funky abstract, and reproductions of artistic masterpieces by Klimt, Van Gogh, Schiele and Monet, with frame choices in anodized aluminum, chrome, painted white or wood. For the minimalist, the heaters also come in plain white, red and blue, with the aforementioned chalkboard finish that would be great in a kitchen or child’s room, as well as in a mirror finish. The heated mirror version will never fog up in a steamy bathroom and, if you toss your towel over it while you’re scrubbing down, it’ll be toasty warm when you’re finished.

No chimney or ductwork needed. No maintenance required. Long life span and a five-year warranty. And infrared heaters have been proven to save on heating costs.
