The future of domestic heating is taking a new direction, driven by the need for sustainable solutions to counter climate change. On the front line there is Aquilohma Breton start-up that has developed an innovative system based on active mineral painting, capable of eliminating dependence on traditional radiators. Already tested in two hotels in Brittany, this technology transforms walls and ceilings into heat sources, revolutionizing the heating concept itself.
Unlike the traditional systems that heat the air, Aquilohm uses distant infrared technologyheating directly the surfaces of a room. Walls, ceilings and even floors are transformed into radiant elements, ensuring uniform distribution of heat. The principle is similar to that of the sun which, through a window, warms the objects within an environment, but in this case the process is optimized to guarantee Comfort and energy efficiency.
How does heating with active mineral painting work?
The heart of technology is a low voltage system (24v or 48v) which uses special water -based painting and natural inks. Once applied on walls and ceilings, this painting It stores heat and gradually releases ittransforming the entire surface treated into a source of homogeneous and discreet heating.
The advantages of this system are significant:
- Reduction of energy consumption up to 50% compared to traditional electric convectors.
- Savings of 12% Compared to heat pumps, thanks to a more efficient heat distribution.
- Elimination of radiators and dimensionswith a minimum aesthetic impact.
- Best thermal comfortsince the heat is spread uniformly and without air currents.
These characteristics could represent a turning point in the heating sector, offering a more ecological and efficient solution for homes, hotels and other buildings.
