Graphene-enhanced wallpaper trial launched in Fareham military homes
VIVO Defence Services, which provides maintenance services on behalf of the MOD’s Defence Infrastructure Organisation to more than 27,000 military homes in southeast and southwest England, is conducting data-monitored testing at two military housing sites in Fareham, Hampshire, over the next six months. If successful, the technology, developed by British company NexGen Heating, could be rolled out across additional homes managed by VIVO across the region.
The technology uses electric graphene heated paper - a toughened white wallpaper that can be attached to walls or ceilings. In this trial, it is being installed on the ceilings of the two Fareham homes. The graphene paper can be painted over, and uses an energy-efficient, low-voltage system that emits low-temperature far-infrared waves of directional, radiant heat, replicating the comfortable warmth of sunlight. This enables it to warm up objects and people rapidly - in just a few minutes - rather gradually heating the air as traditional radiators or wall-mounted heaters do. As a result, families only need to heat the spaces they are using, helping to reduce energy costs.
Nottingham houses test graphene-infused infrared wallpaper
A trial is underway in 45 social housing groups across the UK that could revolutionize the way we heat our homes, especially those that have long battled with issues like heat leakage and inefficient insulation. A graphene-enhanced infrared wallpaper, developed by NexGen Heating, is being tested in a project targeting social housing and older properties that are notoriously hard to insulate.
By infusing wallpaper with graphene, NexGen Heating has created a product that emits infrared heat, warming objects and people directly in a manner reminiscent of sunlight. This direct form of heating is not only efficient but also customizable to fit the aesthetics of any room, promising an unobtrusive addition to homes. Furthermore, the potential for integration with solar panels and batteries could make this a cornerstone of sustainable living, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels. NexGen Heating says infrared can provide greener, cheaper heating when paired with solar panels and batteries.
Graphene-enhanced wallpaper for heating homes is being trialed in Wales
A social housing development in Wales is reportedly being heated by graphene-enhanced wallpaper by NexGen Heating, as part of a trial exploring affordable alternatives to radiators and heat pumps to keep residents warm.
The graphene heating system, which aims to look and feel just like traditional wallpaper, can be plugged into a domestic socket, and is packaged with solar panels and a smart battery, meaning it cuts emissions while vastly lowering fuel costs.
