Graphene-enhanced wallpaper trial launched in Fareham military homes

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.

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.
