When fully certified, Plumbase, the UK's largest local plumbing supplier, intends to distribute the product through their nationwide branches with installation through City Energy's installer network.\n \n \n \n \n \n With the UK commitment to reducing emissions to net zero by 2050 and the likely ban on domestic gas boilers in new homes in two years' time, graphene UFH offers an energy efficient way to heat our homes.\n \n \n \n \n \n The UFH panels generate heat using Haydale's printed functionalised graphene ink at low power (12v battery). The heaters can be printed into different shapes and sizes, are easy to install and are compatible with all modern construction materials.\n \n \n \n \n \n Unlike infra-red and wired heating systems, Haydale's graphene UFH system is designed to be a convector heater, which heats the air and room through thermal convection rather than the body in the case of infrared heaters.\n \n \n \n \n \n Commenting on the project, Haydale CEO Keith Broadbent said: \"Haydale has been working closely with City Energy to look at new technologies aimed at net zero\n . I am pleased we can now announce that together we are taking our graphene underfloor ...
