thermochromic

the radical radiators of the future

thermochromic

by liardet cedric from switzerland

designer's own words:

By adding thermochromic pigments to a radiator, its primary fonction becomes visible. Each color fades at a different temperature showing how heat changes. A first layer of white paint is applied on steel (easier, cheaper and better color rendering). Baffles are inserted in the collectors in order to make the water go in one tube after another. Like most of traditionnal flat panel radiators, it can be used in horizontal or vertical position, with a single or double panel, and with a corrugated sheet or not.
