How does this heater help with mould?
The heater gently warms the wall surface using infrared heat. This helps reduce condensation and moisture on the wall, which discourages mould growth.
The Thermisia 90W Far Infrared Bathroom Mould Control Heater is designed to help reduce moisture build-up and discourage mould growth on cold, damp walls.
Unlike traditional heaters that warm the air, this compact infrared panel gently warms the surface of the wall itself. By raising the temperature of the wall surface, condensation is reduced — one of the main conditions that allows mould to develop.
Using a graphene carbon heating element and infrared ceramic coated surface, the heater produces consistent far infrared heat that helps dry damp areas more effectively than conventional heating methods.
The slim panel can be wall-mounted near affected areas or used freestanding, making it a practical solution for bathrooms, laundries, wardrobes, garages and other moisture-prone spaces.
With very low power consumption of just 90W, it offers an energy-efficient way to help manage condensation and damp surfaces without relying on chemical mould removers or sprays.
Its compact design also makes it suitable for rental properties, as it can be moved easily if required.
Backed by a 3-year warranty, this heater offers a simple and effective way to support a drier, healthier indoor environment.
How Infrared Heating Helps Reduce Mould
Mould typically forms where moisture and cold surfaces combine.
Far infrared heaters work differently from traditional heaters:
- Infrared heat warms walls and surfaces directly
- The wall temperature rises slightly
- Moisture evaporates instead of forming condensation
- Damp surfaces begin to dry over time
By reducing condensation on cold surfaces, the conditions that allow mould to grow become much less favourable.
What Causes Mould in Homes
Mould often appears in areas where moisture accumulates, including:
- Bathrooms and showers
- Laundry rooms
- Poorly ventilated spaces
- External walls with limited insulation
- Cold corners of rooms
- Behind furniture or wardrobes
When warm humid air meets a cold wall surface, condensation forms. Over time this moisture allows mould to develop.
Why Traditional Heaters Often Don’t Solve the Problem
Convection heaters mainly heat the air, not the wall.
This can lead to:
- Warm air circulating through the room
- Cold wall surfaces remaining damp
- Continued condensation in corners and on external walls
Infrared heating works differently by warming the surfaces directly, helping reduce the moisture that allows mould to develop.
Installation & Positioning Guide
For best results, the heater should be placed facing the damp wall or affected area.
Important installation note:
- The front of the heater should face the wall surface
- This allows infrared heat to warm the wall directly
- If installed incorrectly, the heating effect will be reduced
The heater can be:
- Wall mounted near damp surfaces
- Freestanding against the affected wall
For severe damp areas, longer operating periods may help gradually dry the wall over time.
