CeP plasterboard radiator (carbon electric paint)

Quacks75

Hi there,

Does anyone have any experience/reviews of CeP plasterboard radiator system? Refurbishing a small mid-terrace house, only 3.5m wide by 9m long, with no heating system at all at present. Visited Ecovolt's showroom to see the system - carbon electric paint is applied to normal or insulated plasterboard, connects to 24V transformer (max 4 panels per transformer) and uses 350 watts per square metre.

Although derelict for 2 years, the house is warm and dry with no heating system at all, and is so small that I don't want to lose any wall space to radiators. Was considering underfloor heating on the ground floor, but this plasterboard system seems like a good option in theory. The walls, internal floors, and roof of the house will be newly/fully insulated.

Any experience/reviews of the CeP system would be much appreciated.

No experience with it... But just in case you're interested... another option is a company called discreteheat do skirting board systems (thermoskirt) - hooks up to boiler same way as a rad would.
I got a quote back in 2017 for £650 (uk - inc delivery) for about 7 or 8 m of it plus the kit n kaboodle (TRV connectors brackets etc) - so just supply. That came from uk - but I think they have a place in Tallaght though.
From the quote..."Based on a boiler running at 70°C, the heat output of your skirting run will be 997W"
Was going to use it in my kitchen kick boards cos I'd no space for a rad. Now I didn't go with it in the end - in the end i took out a unit and stuck in a vertical rad. Which also might be something for you to think about!

^^^ This sounds like a better option.
