If you are considering adding electric heaters to your portfolio as an OEM partner, retailer or planner, different requirements will come to the fore. These include positioning and application profile, variant capability, documentation, certifications, and a delivery model that reflects your sales channel. Here you will find selection criteria, a comparison table and links to detailed pages with specifications and documentation.
Further technical details and reference configurations are available on request.
All heating types are available as series products and can be supplied as either a white or brand label. Therefore, when selecting from the OEM portfolio, it is crucial to consider which heating type is best suited to the application profile, desired heating characteristics, and distribution channel.
The appropriate type of heating is determined by the usage profile and sales concept. This enables you to swiftly identify the most suitable heating solution for your product range and sales channel.
The table below summarises the most important differences according to application profile, heat characteristics and control.
require convector heaters and infrared heaters, which can be easily classified according to their application profile and heat characteristics. These can be supplemented by storage heaters for constant heat and regular use.
Heating types with a high degree of variability in colour, installation and type plate, enabling product lines to be neatly adapted to the brand and distribution.
Storage heaters are used when uniform heat emission and plannable designs are important, as well as convector or infrared heaters for zoned applications.
heating types that can be clearly positioned via digital control and offer clean documentation.
heating types for which specifications, documents and evidence are quickly available, including clear performance levels and dimensions.
We use criteria that can be directly applied to product design, sales and planning for the comparison.
Is this type of heating more suitable for short-term use or zoned heating, or for rooms that are used permanently and require constant heating? This determines the product range logic and sales argumentation.
The type of heating technology used (convection, radiation or storage) influences how quickly heat is felt and how evenly it is distributed throughout the room.
Digital control is important for many portfolios. Decisive factors include whether an integrated thermostat is available and whether app and cloud control can be offered as an option.
Important factors include performance classes, colour variants according to the RAL colour chart, installation types, and design options, all of which can be clearly mapped in the product system and sales. White or brand labels are generally possible; the specific designs depend on the product range and target market.
Data sheets, dimensions, images, installation information, and other relevant documentation are important for product creation and planning. The clearer and more structured these are, the faster product creation and marketing can be implemented.
Tests, measurements and studies facilitate internal approvals, product development and planning. Having evidence available reduces queries and speeds up decisions.
Measurements and studies provide evidence for internal approvals, evaluations and planning. On our tests and studies page, you will find information on the heat dissipation and heating behaviour of electric heating systems.
We use criteria that can be directly applied to product design, sales and planning for the comparison.

For bathrooms and similar damp rooms, three additional product types suitable for damp environments are available: the partial-storage bathroom radiator with a fireclay storage core, the bathroom radiator with a heat transfer fluid, and the infrared bathroom heater with a bracket. These are not standalone heating systems, but rather damp-proof versions with splash protection to IP24 or higher. All three product types are available as white label or branded products and can be added to your range either individually or as a tiered range of bathroom heating solutions. |

For product ranges and projects with a focus on design, the designer heater is also available. It is based on the same infrared technology as the standard infrared heater and is distinguished by its customisable finishes: motif prints, polished glass and 2.5D relief textures. The designer heater enables a standalone product line with higher price points and is available as a white-label or branded product. |

Please note that designs and variants may vary depending on the project. Specific data and documentation for each design are available on request.
On request, we can provide you with the relevant documentation, depending on the model. This includes, amongst other things, data sheets, installation instructions, images, dimensional drawings, design specifications, and details regarding packaging and shipping. Further technical details, such as connection specifications, protection class and design details, are also available on request, together with the relevant data sheets.
If you already have a specific type of heating in mind, you will find specifications, reference data and OEM options at the next level.
Convector and infrared heaters can usually be installed and categorised quickly. Storage heaters are useful for providing constant heat output and are ideal for regular use.
Decisive factors include variability in installation, colour and type plate, as well as reliable documentation for product creation and sales. The most suitable options for each type of heating depend on your target market and the desired brand image.
For standard fittings, predictable designs, clear specifications and certifications are important. Storage heaters are often the best option here, while convectors and infrared heaters can be used to supplement short-term and zoned applications.
Convectors quickly heat air through circulation; infrared has a stronger effect on surfaces through radiation; and storage heaters work with storage technology and time-delayed release. The choice should be based on the intended usage and positioning.
Duo Smart Heaters are suitable for product ranges and projects where electricity is to be charged specifically during off-peak periods and used as heat at a later time. Typical applications include operation with low-rate electricity tariffs, dynamic electricity prices or self-consumption of PV-generated electricity, as well as the replacement of existing night storage heaters in renovation projects.
Bathroom heaters and design heaters are not separate types of heating, but rather product variants of existing technologies that are suitable for damp rooms or designed with aesthetics in mind. You will find them listed below the comparison table, with direct links to the relevant product pages.
These usually include data sheets, dimensions, installation instructions and product images. Depending on the project, additional documentation such as planning texts, packaging information and shipping details may also be required. We can provide the relevant documentation package for each model upon request.
If you would like to review the heating types for your product range or an OEM project, we will send you the relevant documentation. Depending on the model, you will receive data sheets, dimensions, and information on installation variants, colours, and branding. Reference configurations and additional documents for product installation and planning are also available on request.
