not in our experience. if you think why scrim tape is used, to avoid cracking, the matting is very similar to this. Also the surface temperature of the system is little more than a hot summers day and has had no effect at all in various systems we have now installed. I hope this helps.
Hi .would a 800 watt panel fixed on the ceiling above the bed be able to heat directly underneath quickly? Not worried bout heating the room just the person directly underneath. The distance from the panel to the bed below would be 5.5 feet.
Hi there. Every product varies, it would be advisable to refer to the specific manufacturers instructions to confirm the product meets with your requirements. Reach out to the supplier for their response they will be best placed to respond correctly to your specific query. Hope this helps.
Hi Danny We have one more video to upload Insulation, no need but recommend you obviously have the 270mm if possible. (Top up maybe required) What I do recommend more so is you use foil backed plasterboard or install foil roll in the loft to deflect the IR. 👍
Hmm ...I have a House of 3200sq ft With Radiant electric heat panels. Fitted when I built the house from bare dirt. Over the years the panels have failed.. one by one. Currently there are NO working panels. V nice ! Observed that the problem is with the 60 hz cycle of electricity as It causes the heating elements to hummmm at o 60hz.. . And this sooner or later fatigue breaks the elements. NO ONE ever talks about this wee factoid.. Do they ?? Not sure what to do now... as even stripping Every ceiling in the house and replacing the heatpanels ($$$$) will be a temporary 'Fix.' That said I may have to go to baseboard heaters Or Strip the house to studs to retrofit a Hydronic system.. Ohh. by the way Electric radiant heat is surprisingly expensive to operate. I was "sold" on the 'economy aspect As this was Cheaper heat than using a Forced Air Gas furnace system. Absolutely Wrong ! When All my panels were still working the heating costs were well above that of another (and Barely insulated) nearby House that I own... running a Gas furnace. And I live in a low Electricity costs region So much for the it's cheaper B.S.....Caveat Emptor people
Wow - nice to see what our competitors products need to install! Panels are so much easier and faster!
and much uglier. 😆
Hi.
Will the plaster crack further down the line?

Much more spaghetti than I expected. Will have to watch the others to see how it all worked out.

@@meservices3979 i know that. Am asking for your opinion based on your experience of your panels.
@@amoryblaine1102 in truth i don’t install the panels you refer to, only in plaster systems. Sorry I can’t help
@@meservices3979 no worries. Cheers.
thx for doing this, i have been searching for something like this, can you tell me if the insulation has been redon as part of the retrofit

@@meservices3979 many thanks
I have an infrared heating panel that turns on but no heat? Any ideas how to fix?
not without knowing what infrared heater you have Amber? Please feel free to email the image of the heater to hello@maneservices.co.uk :)
