Heating: cupboard doors capable of replacing a radiator

With the drop in temperatures, a seasonal innovation.

These are heated closet doors capable of replacing a radiator.

In fact, it's a whole new type of heating: infrared radiant heating.

It is an ultra-thin film (a few millimeters).

It is placed behind a glass cupboard door and it will heat the whole room, like a radiator, but without taking up any space.

This will come in handy in hallways where heating is rarely found.

And in small rooms where the radiator wastes a lot of space, since nothing can be installed in front.

And is it as efficient as a radiator?

Yes, even more efficient!

Since infrared rays no longer heat the air, but directly objects and people.

So the heat will be more homogeneous.

It works exactly like the sun: in winter, in the mountains, the air can be 2 °.

But if you put yourself in full sun, you won't be cold, because the infrared from the sun directly warms the skin.

It is a technology that has been perfected for years for indoor heating.

The French are rather well positioned.

Closet doors, for example, are produced near Agen by the company Sifisa.

But aren't we going to burn ourselves touching the door?

It will be much cooler than a traditional radiator.

But since the maximum temperature can reach 50 °, it is better not to leave your hand too long.

This is the small flaw of infrared heating.

But South Korean researchers are working on new radiant materials that will allow completely cold surfaces.

Tomorrow, your wallpaper can turn into a radiator.
