ČeskyCarbon heating films are a multi-purpose heat source. Their usecase goes far beyond underfloor and ceiling heating.
Many of us may encounter carbon films in everyday life without our knowledge. With a thickness of around 0.5 mm, they are ideal for use in places where no other heating element could be installed. Behind the beautiful design glass of the increasingly popular radiant heating panels, there is nothing but a heating film with a higher output. Recently, non-fogging mirrors have also become very popular. How can this be achieved? Heating film is glued to the back of the mirror.
Heating foils and greenhouses
The all season heated greenhouse is a dream of many gardeners – unlike window sills in the room they provide plenty of light and space. Heating that will allow year-round growth is relatively expensive. Heating, which provides only the conditions for wintering plants that do not tolerate frost, is cheaper. Heating can also be used only to extend the greenhouse season.
- The most common type of greenhouse heating is one that ensures frost-free conditions, ie a temperature of at least 5 ° C.
- A temperate greenhouse heated to 10 ° C will allow many plants to grow even in winter.
- The tropical greenhouse is heated to a minimum temperature of 15 ° C even in winter and the plants can be grown in it in the same way as in the apartment, but they have much better lighting conditions and a favorable climate in terms of air humidity.
Different types of heating of greenhouses can be realized with use of carbon heating films, which are made for these applications. They do not take up valuable space and do not produce any hazardous gases, such as when using oil or gas stoves. Heating films are efficient and comfortable, in conjunction with a thermostat they can perfectly maintain a balanced and stable temperature. Carbon heating films are also suitable for tempering winter gardens.
Heating film and furniture
Thanks to their thickness, heating films are also suitable for installation in wooden structures and furniture. Several of our customers have already used the properties of heating film, for example, to increase the comfort of using a pool table. Not only is the heated playing area comfortable on the hands of the players, the heated playing board also affects the game. Billiard balls move more agile on the heated playing surface, have a longer deceleration and bounce off each other better.
Suppliers of reconstructions of churches and monasteries in the Czech Republic have already contacted us several times. During the production of new church pews, there is a requirement for their heating. Due to its thickness, the carbon heating film is ideal for this type of use.
Reception of the National Gallery in Prague
In 2019, we were approached by representatives of the National Gallery in Prague regarding the implementation of the heating of the new reception of the Schwarzenberg Palace. Due to the low space requirements and the possibility of a dry floor composition, the LARX CARBON-FILM.COM system was the only possible solution for heating the reception. The construction of the reception was made of wood and screwed on site. In the generally cold corridor of the National Gallery, the staff at the reception have a pleasant warmth from the ground. You can read more information about our installation of the LARX CARBON-FILM.COM heating system at the reception of the National Gallery in Prague in this article.
Heating film and animals
Even animals that stay outside during the winter like heat. Heating films heat many kennels or pens of animals of our customers. If the heating is in the floor, it is advisable to install it only on a part of the floor area so that the dog can choose between a warm and cooler floor. Several of our customers have also used our carbon heating films for winter tempering of beehives.
Remember that when installing heating films for a purpose other than underfloor or ceiling heating, it is necessary to follow the installation procedures and rules for installing heating films. It is important to protect the heating film from both moisture and mechanical damage (insulation of connectors, covering of PE foils, thorough gluing, etc.).
