About

Too much energy is wasted on heating residential spaces. Instead of choosing solutions that generate heat in close proximity to where it is needed, we instead first create the heat via boilers, pumps, and furnaces and then transport it to where it is needed needlessly wasting energy. Our electrical carbon fiber heating elements are installed 2-3mm from the surface decreasing your energy bill all the while creating a warm comfortable environment! As the General Manager of LaminaHeat's China branch I'm focused on elevating the perception and implementation of comfortable and safe heat in China with our carbon fiber heating films! Always focused on Putting Heat Where it is Needed!
