WALL AND CEILING HEATING
If it is not possible or if you do not wish to install radiant underfloor heating, Warmset has created a simple and advanced alternative: heating the room using heaters positioned on the ceiling or on the wall.
Wall or ceiling heating can be used both to replace underfloor heating and to integrate it. In fact, it is possible to produce practical heating mats to be installed under the plaster or plasterboard, creating an oasis of warmth in specific areas of the home.
For electric wall heating, the Warmset electric heating mat is installed in the existing walls, which will then be covered with the most appropriate covering.
Just as for underfloor heating, wall heating heats the covering, which after reaching the desired temperature transmits heat by radiation.
How are the heaters for wall heating positioned?
Embedded in plasters and mortars, avoiding breaks and cracks, using Warmwall Black.
In plasterboard walls with the aluminium film support with adhesive side flaps for attaching it to uprights, using Warmdrywall Aluminium Black.

Compared to an underfloor heating system, the electric wall heater has several advantages.
It is a simple solution that does not require the existing floor to be modified.
It is easy to install.
It does not affect the thickness of the floor or water pipes installed in the floor.
However, wall heating is not always the best solution. It is difficult to heat large rooms with this system, and the walls must not be covered by wardrobes or other pieces of furniture. Care must therefore be taken to place it in a context that is suitable and where there are few limitations on the walls.
HOW TO INSTALL ELECTRIC WALL HEATING
CONCRETE WALL/UNDER PLASTER OR TILE
For installation on the wall, Warmwall has the same technical features as the underfloor product. The difference lies in the fact that it can be installed even when installation on the floor is complex or not possible.
The fiberglass mesh to which the Warmset multi-layer laminated ribbon is attached is rolled up in mats to facilitate laying; the mesh also helps to consolidate plasters and mortars, avoiding breaks and cracks.. Its wall installation allows the creation of a uniform radiant surface in the various stratigraphies, ensuring maximum comfort above all where high power is not required. This makes it possible to cover the walls only in the area that is strictly necessary.
Drywalls
For drywalls, an aluminium film support with adhesive side flaps for attaching it to the uprights is used. Alternatively, the whole of the adhesive surface is used to secure Warmdrywall Aluminium Black directly to the drywall panel.. This construction solution is perfect as it is low impact and can also be installed during renovations, without modifying the existing structure.
