BEAB APPROVED BY INTERTEK (250 PANEL)
Infrared Ceiling Heating for Homeowners

Nothing on the walls. Heat only the rooms you use. Slim white PowerBoard panels on the ceiling warm people and everything in the room directly, instead of heating the air first. Supplied and installed across the UK.

The PowerBoard Range

Most infrared panels do the same thing: a white rectangle on the wall or ceiling. If you have been comparing brands, they blur together quickly, because the differences are mostly styling.

Why PowerBoard is different

The PowerBoard integrated panel is a different idea. The PR-S-250 recesses flush into the ceiling void and can be plastered straight over, so the heating disappears. Not slim, not discreet, gone. No other approach gives you a heated room with nothing visible in it.

Invisible when integrated

The 250 recesses flush and plasters over. The room has heating and no heater.

Built to be forgotten

30 year design life, 10 year warranty, no moving parts, no maintenance, nothing to service.

Certified properly

BEAB Approved by Intertek on the PB-S-250 (certificate 30095), with CE, UKCA and RoHS across the range.

One supplier, whole system

Panels, underfloor film, thermostats and smart controls, specified and supplied together.

The range

Three product lines, one system. Every line is specified from the room’s heat loss and supplied with its controls, so they mix across a property.

INTEGRATED · PR-S-250

250W Integrated Ceiling Panel

The panel that disappears: recesses flush into the ceiling void and can be plastered straight over. BEAB Approved by Intertek, certificate 30095. Bathrooms, bedrooms and studies, up to about 4m² per panel.

SURFACE · PR-S-500 & PR-S-750

500W & 750W Surface Panels

The same panel body in two outputs, mounted straight onto an existing ceiling or wall with no cutting and no plastering. 500W for bedrooms and studies (about 8m²), 750W for living rooms and kitchens (about 12m²). CE and UKCA marked.

UNDERFLOOR · PR-UF160 / PR-UF220

Electric Underfloor Heating Film

1.4mm heating film in 160 and 220 W/m² outputs, laid under tile, stone, dense hardwood and some laminates. No manifold, no pump, no pipework. For most homes the ceiling comes first; the floor wins when it is coming up anyway.

Inside the panel

Five layers, and one of them is a steel safety cassette

The PowerBoard-S 250W is 1200 by 600mm and 12.5mm thin, the same build depth as a sheet of plasterboard. Here is what is between the room and the ceiling void.

Full surface radiant warmth · 99.7% of the electricity becomes heat · Must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671

Range questions, answered

What makes PowerBoard different from other infrared panels?

The integrated PB-S-250 recesses flush into the ceiling void and can be plastered straight over, so the heating disappears completely, no visible panel at all. Most infrared panels on the market only surface mount. Add a 30 year design life, a 10 year warranty, and BEAB approval by Intertek on the 250 (certificate 30095), and the difference is substance, not styling.

Which panel do I need for my room?

As a guide, the 250W covers up to about 4m², the 500W about 8m² and the 750W about 13m², but the honest answer depends on the room’s heat loss, not just its area. The free remote heat-loss survey or the System Designer sizes it properly rather than guessing.

Do you do underfloor heating as well?

Yes. Alongside the ceiling panels we supply an electric underfloor heating film, 1.4mm thick in 160 and 220 W/m² outputs, laid under tile, stone, dense hardwood and some laminates. For most homes we still recommend the ceiling first; the floor wins in specific situations, and we say which honestly.

Are the panels certified?

The PB-S-250 is BEAB Approved, independently certified by Intertek (250 panel, certificate 30095). BEAB is the UK’s leading safety mark for electric heating. The range is CE, UKCA and RoHS marked, carries a 10 year warranty, and is built to a 30 year design life.

What do they cost to run?

A 250W panel costs about 7p an hour at 27p/kWh. Real running cost depends on insulation and thermostat cycling, panels only draw power part of the time once a room is at temperature, so see the running costs page for figures by room and house size with the basis stated.

Can I buy at trade prices?
