Ceramic heaters are some of the newest heaters to hit the market; and they are not hot to the touch. They are a type of convection heater that uses ceramic plates and aluminun baffles. When the ceramic heats up, the aluminun absorbes the heat and a small fan blows the heat into the room. The plastic casing on the outside keeps the heater cool to the touch.
