The Ceilingo 100% radiant heated ceiling

This video sets two radiant ceiling approaches side by side, covering both insulation and heating in an interior space, with the focus on the technologies developed by Ceilingo. Here is the substance of it:

Where and what

• Location: the Ceilingo showroom
• Subject: two radiant ceiling approaches compared

1. The conventional approach: mineral wool with a heating film

• Materials: glass wool or rock wool with a heating film bonded to the back.
• How it behaves: once running, the heating film brings the floor to roughly 26 to 27 degrees Celsius and the ceiling to roughly 43 degrees.
• The drawbacks:
  • Heat is not distributed evenly across the whole ceiling surface.
  • Heated and unheated panels alternate, which is less efficient and can be hard on the ceiling materials themselves.

2. The Ceilingo approach: pure aluminium insulation

• The idea: the system is passive first, recovering the energy already produced in the room by the shower, by the occupants, by household appliances and so on, and active only where that is not enough.
• Installation: a pure aluminium insulation layer goes above the ceiling, forming what amounts to a thermal bell, or an igloo, that traps the heat.
• How the heating film is fitted:
  • The heating film is taped to the underside of the furring channels.
  • The R'BULL Pro insulation sits at a set distance above the heating film.
• What that changes:
  • Heat is spread far more evenly across the whole ceiling.
  • The method reaches usable temperatures without concentrating heat at a single point, which protects the plasterboard and gives a more even temperature in the room.
  • The system also recovers and reuses the heat already produced in the room, which improves the overall energy balance.

In conclusion

• The comparison: the two methods are set against each other on heat distribution, on efficiency and on how well they treat the ceiling materials.
• What is different here: the Ceilingo approach offers a serious alternative to the conventional method, by spreading heat more evenly and by putting the energy already present in the room to work.
