In 1977, the design for the IXL Tastic Original 3-in-1 Heat, Vent and Light was submitted and produced that same year. The launch of this product has led to many successful iterations of the IXL Tastic product and has become an iconic product in many bathrooms across Australia.

IXL has until now, offered the Tastic Classic, Tastic Premium Luminate range, Easy Duct and Eco Tastic 3 in 1 Heat, Vent and Light ranges to the Australian and New Zealand market. In 2021, IXL expanded their mid-level Tastic range of bathroom products with the easy to install Tastic Ovation 3 in 1.  Showcasing contemporary design, the Tastic Ovation brings powerful airflow extraction, luxurious warmth, instant brightness and a range of premium features to suit a variety of bathroom styles.

IXL’s new Tastic Ovation is designed to maximize space in medium-sized bathroom.  It features powerful centrifugal exhaust fan design, allowing for strong airflow extraction up to 396m³/hr to eliminate steam rapidly.  The 3 modern frosted 4000K cool white LED downlights provide diffused, soothing illumination.  The 800W infrared heat lamp with Halo Heat ^TM Technology delivers rapid warmth to the person beneath the unit without losing heat to the wider bathroom space.  Designed with a side ducted fan with inclined outlet for optimised ducting and easy installation. Each unit also includes a self-sealing back draught stopper that prevents draughts and insects entering the unit while not in use, sealing warmth within the user’s bathroom and protecting from unwanted airflow, suitable for 5 star Energy Rated Homes.

The Tastic Ovation is designed as a stylish mid-price option for ease of purchase in mass market such as Bunnings and Harvey Norman Bathroom. It provides multi-functional use to the owner in addition to going above and beyond user expectations regarding its visual appeal, compared to products of similar price point. Encapsulating numerous luxury bathroom 3 in 1 features within a sleek and contemporary fascia design, the Tastic Ovation taps into the market of everyday consumers seeking a bathroom heat, vent and light unit that seamlessly blends into their modern bathroom.

Flexible installation for all areas of the home is a key feature of the unit, with easy installation and optimised ducting providing an energy-efficient option for any room. By integrating the fan into the body, this provided consumers with a stronger extraction whilst providing installers with an easier installation. R&D in-field testing conducted with trade electricians also influenced the design direction by inducing angles into the body which provided them an advantageous outlet to attach the ducting.

The frosted LED downlights provides diffused light, smoothing to your eyes without compromising on the quality of the lighting. Using our existing LEDs to maintain supply and quality, we changed from a downlight style to a more modern white diffuser. The new white diffuser combined with a clean new fascia design created a clean and minimalistic design.

Another key aspect of the Tastic Ovation delivering an unmatched user experience is its use of Halo Heat^TM technology. This technology distributes 800W infrared heat effectively across the person underneath, ensuring the body will heat up instead of the surrounding bathroom space. This maximises comfort levels for the user and increases efficiency of the product. Using existing auto timer function to turn the heat lamps off to save power and energy for the consumers.

In the current climate consumers are seeking locally made products more than ever before, making the Australian made and designed Tastic Ovation ideal for the present market needs. The increasing concern of home sustainability has been addressed directly with the back draught flaps to ensure a warm bathroom that is protected from unwanted airflow, achieving better energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint properties. 

Enhanced user experience is further provided in the easy clean wide grille fascia, enabling consumers to enjoy long-term effectiveness of the unit through routine cleaning.

A 5-year in-home product warranty is delivered in addition to a 2-year warranty on heat lamps and exhaust fan. Customer support is provided from IXL Home’s dedicated team in the Abbotsford office.
