How does a KORE Prime canvas panel generate heat?

KORE Prime panels use infrared heating elements that emit radiant heat — warming objects and people directly rather than heating the air. The custom canvas is applied to the panel’s front so it functions visually as artwork while allowing infrared radiation to pass through and warm the room.

Will the canvas affect performance or safety?

No. KORE Prime canvas panels are manufactured to safely integrate the canvas finish without impacting heating performance. Panels include built-in overheat protection and are installed according to our guidelines to ensure safe operation.

How much space does a canvas panel save compared to radiators?

Canvas-wrapped infrared panels are slimline and mount flush to the wall or ceiling, freeing up floor space and preserving sightlines. Exact space saved depends on the radiators being replaced, but the panel’s low profile is ideal for design-led interiors and holiday lets.

Are custom canvas panels suitable for holiday lets and rentals?

Yes. They offer low maintenance (no moving parts), silent operation, efficient warmth, and aesthetic appeal — all features that boost guest experience and can positively influence booking perceptions.

How quickly does the panel produce noticeable warmth?

Infrared panels provide perceptible radiant warmth soon after switching on because they heat surfaces and people directly. Exact warm-up feel depends on panel size, room layout, and insulation.

Can I order a custom print for my space?

Yes. KIASA offers custom canvas prints for KORE Prime panels. Contact customer.support@kiasa.co.uk or DM 'CANVAS' on our social channels to start a design enquiry.

Warmth Meets Art at Bluebell Lodge — KORE Prime Canvas Panel

Project Overview

Peter wasn’t looking for “just a heater.” He wanted something that would immediately elevate the interior of his premium lodge, fit seamlessly with the style, and offer comfortable, low-energy heating for guests — without compromising aesthetics. Traditional radiators? No thanks. They take up space, ruin sightlines, and are about as subtle as a screaming kettle. He needed heat that disappears into the decor.

The Solution

A Canvas-Wrapped KORE Prime IR Panel

Instead of a plain white panel, Peter chose our KORE Prime infrared heater and paired it with a custom canvas print — turning the heater into artwork.

The result?

A functional centrepiece that:

Looks like a decorative canvas
Provides deep, radiant warmth (not stuffy convection heat)
Keeps walls clear and styling options open
Becomes a talking point for guests booking their stay

It’s not a heater on the wall; it’s art that warms the room.

Why KORE Prime Was the Perfect Match

The KORE Prime range is made in the EU and engineered for high-performance infrared heating, especially for premium rental spaces where aesthetics are non-negotiable.

Key benefits for Peter:

Low running costs — ideal for a property that needs to stay warm efficiently
No maintenance — zero moving parts, nothing to bleed, no noise
Silent & instant warmth
Slimline design — only a few cm deep from the wall
Canvas customisation — because art > radiators

Guests get that cosy cabin warmth. Peter gets glowing reviews. Everyone wins. Especially Peter.

The Impact

Since installing the custom canvas panel:

1. The room feels warmer, quicker
2. No radiator taking up visual space
3. Guests frequently comment on the décor
4. Lower energy usage compared to the previous heating system

But the biggest win?

Perceived luxury goes up — and so does booking appeal. A premium rental deserves premium finishing touches. And nothing whispers taste like a heater disguised as canvas art.
