Design your infrared heater with your own photo – here’s how
Would you like to make someone happy or reward yourself with a photo gift? The concept of printed items is not new: calendars, mugs and cushions – we all know them. This short 6-step guide will help you create your own infrared heater with your own photo.
1. your photo for an optimal print result.
It doesn’t matter whether you took it with a professional camera or a cell phone. The only important thing is that your photo has a minimum resolution minimum resolution. The higher the resolution of your photo, the sharper the end result. Tip: Make absolutely sure that your photo has a high resolution to avoid pixelated prints!
Our Canon flatbed printers do the rest: they ensure precise and brilliant color quality.
Minimum resolution per wattage:
| 130 W | 1,400 x 1,000 px |
| 300 W | 1,700 x 1,400 px |
| 450 W | 2,500 x 1,400 px |
| 600 W | 2,800 x 1,700 px |
| 800 W | 2,800 x 1,700 px |
| 1.000 W | 3,400 x 1,700 px |
| 1.200 W | 3,400 x 1,700 px |
2. decide on a size.
As you may have already seen, there are different sizes. The Könighaus rule of thumb: the larger the infrared heater (length x width), the more power. In the Könighaus portfolio you will find heaters from 130 watts up to 1,200 watts. Need help choosing the right size? No problem! We have developed a requirements calculator for you. Enter the key data of your room and it will tell you what power your infrared heater needs.
3. select a frame color.
Your taste is 100% in demand here. There is no right or wrong. The color choice for the picture frame is white or alternatively black. Both frames are made of aluminum and powder-coated. This rounds off your picture with a high-quality look and feel.
4. do you like it classic or smart?
So that you can use your heating as efficiently as possible, you will also receive a thermostat. For example, the thermostat detects open windows or whether your desired temperature has been reached and switches off automatically. With the classic version, you make the settings directly on the thermostat. With the WiFi version, the thermostat connects to your smartphone and you can conveniently control it from there.
5. wait until the letter carrier arrives.
This should not take too long. We make every effort to produce and send out your photo heating promptly. It usually arrives after just a few working days. (Please keep an eye on the estimated delivery date in the offer itself.)
By the way, our in-house print shop and production facility is located in Emmerich am Rhein.
6. plug in the photo heater and off you go.
Hardly any other heating method is as simple. This is because heating with infrared does not require complex installations or the use of fossil fuels such as oil and gas.
Et voilà – have fun with your picture heater!
No photo to hand?
Don’t worry. We have taken precautions. That’s why we work together with the provider Depositphotos. Depositphotos is a platform for images. Access the image selection directly via our webshop. Simply choose from over 1 million image ideas. With so much choice, the decision is certainly not easy. But hand on heart, your gut feeling usually makes the right decision.
Alternatively, we have already put together some collections for you. For the youngest among us, there is a special nursery edition with lovingly selected motifs. And for the slightly older ones, a panorama series that shows the most beautiful sides of nature. And a museum series that brings touching art into your own four walls. Just take a look around the Könighaus webshop when you get the chance.
The Könighaus printing process is Greenguard certified
What makes the Könighaus photo heater so special? Well, for one thing, it is produced in Germany. With your purchase, you are supporting a young family business. Secondly, we are particularly proud of our printing process, which has been awarded the Greenguard Gold certificate.
What is behind “Greenguard Gold”?
When paint and varnishes dry out, volatile organic compounds can enter the room air. That doesn’t sound so good, and rightly so, because contaminated indoor air can have health consequences. As we spend most of our time indoors in Europe, we should pay attention to low-emission products. And this is exactly what the Greenguard certifies, stating that the printing ink we use is harmless. Incidentally, we use printing ink from the quality brand Canon.
The photo heater: function and design
Okay, we’ve probably already convinced you of the design of the photo heater. But what makes heating with infrared so special?
What we particularly like about heating with infrared is the ease of installation. Almost anyone can install it themselves at home. Even if you don’t happen to be a tradesman by trade. We provide you with everything you need for this: a drilling template and installation materials. Take a look at these video instructions. The installation is almost as difficult as hanging a picture. And in the end, very few of your guests will probably notice that it’s not a framed picture, but an infrared heater.
You can operate your Könighaus infrared heater with 100% renewable energy. For example, with self-generated solar energy from photovoltaic systems on the roof. However, you can also run your infrared heater on green electricity purchased from third parties. Or, of course, with any other type of electricity.
The heating effect should also not be neglected. Due to the direct heat, this type of heating does not require a long lead time before you feel the warmth. This is because the electromagnetic infrared waves are absorbed by the body within a short time and transported further. Infrared heat is therefore considered to be as pleasant as the sun’s rays or the warmth of a fireplace.
Conclusion
When uploading your photo, make sure it has a high resolution. So that the print is as razor-sharp as you want it to be. The frame color and the type of thermostat (with or without WiFi) are a matter of taste or your personal preference. If you still have questions despite this brief guide, don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team. They will be happy to help you with your infrared heater with your own photo.
Infrared picture heaters not only look great with your personal photo, they are super easy to install and run on green energy. They are the ideal photo gift and provide warmth – even in the heart.
