The ePan Slim system tested with a thermal camera

When the heating needs of a home are worked out, attention usually goes to what the appliance consumes.

There is a difference, though, between the power installed and the power that reaches you.

A heating system can draw 6000 watts of which only 3000 do the people in the house any good.

The main reasons are these: thermal bridges and blocked paths, air leaks, insulation that is poor or unsuited to radiant heat both inside and outside the home, and heating whose source is concentrated in one spot and badly spread.

Quality and thermal comfort depend far more on how the system as a whole is conceived than on the energy rating of one electrical appliance and what it cost to buy.

Ceilingo has developed a system that both keeps and reuses the energy radiated by the whole of the ceiling.

ePan Slim is built on the principle of holding on to the energy emitted and giving it back where it is wanted.

Pairing an airtight insulation that performs against radiation with carbon heating panels behind a stretch ceiling produces an efficiency you can feel in the room and read on the meter.
