Keeping Bathroom IR Heaters Safe (and Dry)

Putting an infrared heater in a bathroom is basically a battle against steam. Water vapor is sneaky. It finds its way into standard housings, creates little paths for electricity to leak, and before you know it, you’ve got a short circuit or a ground fault. A plastic shell isn’t enough. You need a real strategy to keep the electricity where it belongs.

Stopping the Leak

We don’t take chances with the connections. We use high-temp silicone gaskets and epoxy potting at the terminal junctions. Basically, we seal the wiring so moisture can’t creep in. For the lamps, we stick with high-purity quartz glass. Why? Because when steam hits the surface and condenses, you don’t want a conductive film forming on the glass. Then there’s the housing. You’ll want at least an IP44 rating, but if it’s going in a truly wet zone, IP65 is the goal. We also use reinforced, heat-resistant cabling. Standard cables crack after a few hundred heat cycles. Once that jacket splits, moisture hits the copper, and your insulation is gone.
