If your home's kept warm by a gas boiler and radiators, would you consider switching them for some high-tech infrared wallpaper?
Radiators in a central heating system heat rooms by what is known as convection heating, warming up the air in rooms, which then circulates.
This infrared technique warms up solid objects in the room directly, including us humans.
It's something that many housing associations and councils are testing as they look for green and cost-effective alternatives.

@sulalee7413 Год назад

I don't have boilers or radiators, just a blowy fan and cold, uninsulated rooms. I don't have the money to keep paying my ever increasing power bills. My 1 bed flat used to cost £45 to heat each months. It was £280 last month. What I would like is for someone to say is, "Ok, stop all this nonsense. Let's go get the Fins in with their sand batteries and show us how to do it". God knows why we haven't done it already!

@aliasgharkhoyee9501 Год назад

Very few can afford to install heat pumps and the related overhaul/rebuilding of homes (most houses are not insulated well), and it's especially impractical for small properties like flats that lack the indoor and outdoor space needed. Maybe in 10 years when air-to-air heat pumps are affordable (costing say £500, similar to small boilers today) and more compact (air-to-air most likely).it will be a viable option for the majority of people.

@aliasgharkhoyee9501 Год назад

Also if you currently switch on heating twice a day (rather than low heating constantly), I'd say this is not as far off in terms of efficiency. Reasoning: it's only running for a couple of hours a day (so no 24h usage like air-to-water heat pumps that leads to huge electric bills), and it heats things and people directly rather than the usual 'heat the water, pump the water, water heats air, air heats people / things' business. The sun heats the earth similarly: infrared rays in sunshine heat things directly, and any residual heat can heat the air (which is not so needed).

@DoingMoreWithLess Год назад

You're not solving a thing with this other than freeing up space. There's nothing "green" about it. You're simply moving the carbon emissions from the boiler, at the home, to the power plant located elsewhere. If you have a home with a cast iron radiator, piping and a boiler you have a paid fir system that works. In order to install the new radiant wallpaper you first make the graphene which is a long, complex process involving lots of chemicals.

I think the idea is its such a low heat over a large area but I can't help but think this will end up really doing tenants heads in. It will require special wallpaper that doesn't have the paste just dry out, lift off and peel away. And that means you'll get tenants doing things like painting over it to change decor, re-wallpapering over current wallpaper they know they can't take off. And that's going to just reflect heat back into the wall and not let much out. A total disaster in the long run without people all agreeing they can no longer decorate their own homes, like in America. Tenants can't touch the walls there and its well understood culturally. Good luck getting Brits to not decorate every few years.

And it's getting more sunnier as the days go by. We are on the verge of welcoming the spring season and households have been able to resort to cheaper methods of keeping warm, like thick socks, thick layers of clothing and drinking hot drinks to keep the body warm, which also keeps the blood system running in our body, which also helps staying warm.

So, lots of questions... seems like a good idea on surface, but let's see here. First of all, graphene is mentioned as the conducting and emitting layer for this. Graphene is a relatively new material, in particular to commercial applications, and it has been reported that it has potential to be not only toxic to human health, it's production is also difficult and produces a bunch of toxic stuff, and then when it goes to the trash it also does not break down well and can end up being a problem too.... was this solved somehow? Or are we just introducing yet another potential asbestos into the chain here? Having a heating element basically bonded to walls, wouldn't this cause structural problems overtime? It's also plastered over, so how does it interact with said plaster? Doesn't it also have potential to heat and dry that plaster faster and make particulates airborne, which I imagine wouldn't be good health wise? If it doesn't become all brittle and require even more maintenance of walls and whatnot. Of course, with this also comes the fact that wherever you install this heating layer, you essentially lose the ability to do anything with that wall. Can't put much in front of it or the heating element will get blocked, can't put a nail or screw there to hang photos or art or something because it'll both block and damage the piece... it just needs to stay a blank white wall for maximum efficiency. Hanging it on the ceiling may work better visually, but not in terms of efficiency it seems. I imagine the heating efficiency in this to be pretty good, but how does it actually compare to heat pumps? Installing heat pumps are not that hard if you make it obligatory to build homes and whatnot with the necessary provisions to it, it's proven tech, and from the video is seems it's also cheaper. I can see the advantage of something like this when you absolutely don't have a way to install a heat pump, but other than the exceptional case, I don't see how paying more for something this new and unproven can be seen as a good idea. I mean, I understand the angle of the piece to make switching to electric heating faster and then powering the grid with renewables, but I worry about making things even worse when you start introducing new unproven tech like that at large scale... this sort of action has often backfired hard. And I imagine studies have been done about the stuff I'm talking about, but I really don't like when new stuff like these comes out and people can only talk about it's advantages and how it's gonna contribute towards easing or solving climate change magically... it's like no one stopped to see what problems it may introduce.

It's used in place of wallpaper rather than being plastered over. You can paint over it if you like, but not plaster.

@aliasgharkhoyee9501 Год назад

And infrared is like sunshine, meaning it heats things and people directly and quickly rather than heating the air first (the latter is bad for leaky or drafty homes without much insulation).

@tw555555 Год назад

Forget about how much they will cost to run how much to install them in the first place 1. Place them on the wall and plaster over them so the whole house needs to be redecorated 2.remove old radiators and pipes Can not see many councils/landlords paying for this Also where would you hang your washing to dry? Pin it to the wall 😂

@SlayerEddyTV Год назад

We are not allowing new builds to install gas boilers from 2025, so I don't see why councils wouldn't change to non gas boiler systems when those systems have passed their own lifespan as they will have to replace the heating system anyway and it wouldn't be another gas boiler system.

@SlayerEddyTV Год назад

And I assume at some point this government or the next will decouple the energy prices away from the most expensive which is gas to something which is currently 9 times cheaper to generate, so who is gonna want to pay for a new gas system when that price will be much higher when the price is decoupled.

It's a wallpaper. No plastering needed

@aliasgharkhoyee9501 Год назад

How many fires do you need... replacement wallpapers based on reptile mats 🤦‍♂️ I highly doubt it would be energy efficient enough. How many Watts would it take to heat a room to 18c

@nicci24 Год назад

Only heating one room leads to mould and damp in the unheated rooms, over crowding (all family end up sleeping, eating & working in the one heater room.) It's Dickensian. Nationalise the energy companies - energy is a need utility and should not be for profit.

@j7ndominica051 Год назад

You can sell this in a solar panel utopia where electricity is cheap, so it can set the walls on fire when it shorts out. Why invent this when every electric machine ever made makes heat, and you can have a low tech resistive filament? You can heat the rooms you are in with existing radiators. But it's not like switching on the lights, the room takes time to come to a temperature.

And it should ideally be on ceilings only, similar to the natural environment where the sun is above us (and indoor lighting).

@KownKR7 Год назад

With water based heating it normally makes more sense to lower the temperature of the water and instead keep heating all the rooms. Turning the radiators on and off when you are in the room requires way higher water temperatures which increases the consumption heavily

@carolinehaythornthwaite2965 Год назад

The Americans have Hvac systems, why the Brits can't install these is beyond me. So much more efficient. Imho, electric wallpaper is a disaster waiting to happen.

Complete hype, as demonstrated by the council woman banging on about 'green energy' (another phrase is 'snake oil'). Can someone let Ealing council know I've got some emperor's clothes to sell.

Radiators and boilers were already replaced, with basic space heaters, which have evolved a ton over time. Heater wallpaper? Nah, don't feel like my house burning down. Here we have one of the newer once, the ceramic space heaters, very energy efficient, much less dangerous, much greener, so yeah. Keep your "this is fine" burning house wallpaper, I'm good.

Electricity and paper are not two I like having an intimate relationship. One, the UK is already chopping down hecters of Canadian forests which do not grow back easily...to fuel bio fuel stations which were never really meant to use forests. they were suppose to be green by burning waste products from agriculture. So your bio fuel is not GREEN energy! You are removing miles of carbon capture!!!! Wall paper is not different. It;s paper from TREES!!!! Also I will add here that graphine is not a renewable resource. It is made from graphite. SO NO NOT AT ALL GREEN!!!!
