The principle of operation of infrared plasterboard panels
Heating of the premises occurs due to the multilateral uniform heating of the premises due to an increase in the temperature of the objects under their rays. Like a cat basking in the sun, your favorite bookshelf can hold and reflect heat.
The optimum temperature for work and leisure is reached very quickly
Moreover, there is no need to overheat objects, it is enough to ensure their heating to + 15 ° С. Such a soft effect cannot be achieved using traditional space heating systems. Using heaters of various types, you can not only quickly heat a building of any type, but also organize the right heat flows, providing the most comfortable conditions where it is needed.
To control the system, you can install separate thermostats in each room. Such opportunities allow the use of modern finishing materials and achieve the following effect:
- uniform heating of the room where it is needed;
- savings on resources from 30 to 50%, depending on the percentage of replacement of the main heating system and its efficiency;
- rationally distribute the temperature of the room, taking into account its height (for example, panels can be installed both on walls, floors, and on the ceiling);
- you significantly reduce the negative factors of drafts and freezing of the room.
Such a rather revolutionary approach very quickly brought this material to the list of one of the most used as a so-called "smart home" system.
Infrared plasterboard heating operating rules
Electrical heating experts recommend placing drywall heater panels on the ceiling or in the center line of the walls. If you plan to install such a heater near the sofa, the distance between the panels and the sofa should be at least 80 cm.
In rooms with high humidity and intensive use, such panels are best placed in the ceiling area. If the ceilings are unusually high, consider installing them in a comfort zone - at a table or sofa.
Infrared panels do not require maintenance or any special cleaning. If necessary, you can sweep them with a brush.
Installation of thermal plasterboard heaters
The most rational method of installing infrared plasterboard heating is the method of fixing tiles on the ceiling. By installing several structures near the window, you can increase the temperature in the room to +20 degrees. But during the installation process, it is recommended to carry out work on the insulation of the ceiling. Any materials can be used here, including OSB.
Wall installation of heating elements is carried out at a level of up to 50 cm. from the floor using ordinary self-tapping screws. In this case, the need for pipes, wiring of heat convectors and the presence of radiators disappears. On average, 1m² of heating panels will be needed per 1.5 m² of room area, i.e. to heat a 15m² room, you will need 10m² of plasterboard heaters.
You can also use the technology in the "warm floor" system, but then the heat transfer is somewhat lost due to the floor covering, but due to the rational distribution of radiation, the total heating offset does not change.
Official manufacturer of plasterboard heating panels Revolts
Revolts plasterboard heating panels are used as basic or additional heating. These panels can be used to heat almost any type of premises in compliance with safety regulations.Apartments, cottages, sports facilities, administrative and office premises, trade and exhibition complexes, service and amenity premises, and much more.
Use the infrared plasterboard heat supply panel only for its intended purpose, as indicated in the operating instructions.
The connection must be carried out only by professional masters in accordance with the "Rules for the Arrangement of Electrical Installations" and "Safety Rules for the Operation of Electrical Installations".
Plasterboard heating panel installation.
The gypsum board heat supply consists of a concrete gypsum board, on which the developed by TEN company is pressed covered with a specialized heat-composite, thanks to which a significant part of the heat goes to heat the gypsum board, there is also a reflector on the back of the panel for better operation of the panel, on the back of the panel there are connecting wires, on the front part of the panel there are markings (fields) into which self-drilling screws can be screwed for fastening to guide profiles at the time of installation.
Note when connecting
- Several panels are connected in PARALLEL. (polarity does not matter)
- Wire section for connection to panels 1.5 square

How HPC heating panels are arranged
Outwardly, these panels look like the simplest thin sheet of drywall measuring 60 × 60 cm. But this simplicity is only external. Inside the gypsum sheet, a film of a special polymer, consisting of a carbon composite, is mounted.
From the back, the panel is protected by a heat-insulating layer, and is also equipped with a cord for connecting to the power supply.
These panels can be safely used for wall and ceiling cladding, they can be combined into one common system. The stoves are heated from the inside and emit infrared waves, while consuming 100 Wh to heat 1.5 m² of area. It is difficult to call this technology literally energy-saving. The carbon polymer film inside the HPC batteries does not melt, oxidize or burn. The room temperature can be controlled with a simple device that is mounted separately from the panels on the wall.
The control unit can turn the panels on and off at the time you want
Useful tips for using thermal panels
With a firm decision to use plasterboard panels, you should heed the following recommendations:
- the most suitable place to mount the device is the middle side of the wall or the ceiling. In offices or premises where sitting time prevails, installation of panels is recommended no more than 80 cm from the workplace;
- corridor, kitchen or bathroom can be equipped with a plasterboard heating system only in the ceiling. Under the condition of a low ceiling, if there is a reverse situation, then the use of equipment will not give a positive effect. Then it makes sense to consider installation using the "warm floor" technology;
infrared panels
- ideal efficiency is observed in rooms no more than 2.5 m wide. Narrow aisles are simply not capable of storing heat, and too wide aisles will not warm up completely;
- due to the general operation of the heating device on electric current, it is worth taking care of alternative heating during the absence of electricity in case of force majeure;
- It is irrational to heat large rooms due to the operation of drywall heating in this way. The technology has a positive result for creating a kind of comfort zones in children's rooms, in the area with a computer or for recreational areas.
But all the same, despite the general shortcomings, such heaters are able to provide the necessary heat during the off-season, when the overall air temperature is quite low, and there is no central heating yet. The panels proved to be excellent in country houses and cottages.
Algorithm of actions when creating a box to hide the battery
There are two ways in which you can disguise the heating battery behind a drywall construction: close the radiator with a decorative plasterboard wall or build a regular drywall box around the radiator.
Which way to apply? It all depends on the layout of the apartment and the location of the heating communications in the room.
The construction of the box is advisable if the radiator is located on the wall. You can do this with your own hands from drywall quickly enough. This method is more preferable, since only the battery is masked, and the usable area is not affected.
Whether the box will be hovering or standing on the floor depends on the interior of the apartment and the designer's decision. Once a decision has been made on the design of the box, you should proceed to surface preparation and marking.
