Paint that produces heat for houses is the brainchild of Irish start-up EcoVolt, writes Trish Dromey.

Now it’s a product that’s being made and exported by Dublin company EcoVolt Carbon Electric Paint, or CeP.

It is a world first “paint on wall electric heating system”, says EcoVolt founder Stephen Dempsey, explaining that the paint is a conductive coating made from carbon graphite which is screen printed onto gypsum plasterboard to turn it into an efficient radiant heater.
