I thought again that Vestaxx would have to position its sales arguments differently.
Target group could be, for example: genuine Bauhaus architecture under monument protection. External insulation is not possible, therefore internal insulation: many walls should remain free, large window surfaces, and the facade must not be disfigured by external units of heat pumps.
Old residents of old existing houses who will have to upgrade the roof, windows, and facade energetically in the near future, but then actually have no more money or won't get any because they are already too old. They could initially use the heating system with window heating because it might not bother them that a heat pump runs better after 10-15 years. However, they don’t invest the difference in anything else either because they think they will die beforehand.
Then moving away entirely from windows, because the product, as I understand it, is not the great window heating but the special process of applying heating elements on glass.
That means the process itself must be seen as a sales argument and expanded to other product groups: for example, glass shower partitions. Bathrooms are always underestimated in terms of heating load and not everyone wants or always fits an additional radiator. Wall heating is impractical; not everyone installs underfloor heating in the shower.
Car windows should not fog up, heating wires are stupid, and blowers are not fast enough.
Animal enclosures, aquariums, terrariums, herbaria for tropical animals. My wife is currently working with heating mats that she places under the herbaria, but that is naturally less efficient and not so sleek.
In miniature eyeglass lenses against fogging.
Rapid drying and pressing of plant parts.
Just as a suggestion.

... or monitors that simultaneously work as facial tanners so that you (at least visually) always feel like you’re on vacation ;) Although ... that is a film on the monitor and not glass.


With a power bank behind the ear or how do you imagine that?

No, kidding aside. Your ideas are great and I believe with a different argumentation and an adjusted target group Vestaxx wouldn’t have rubbed people the wrong way here.

I would have it protected > all-glass heated shower walls and, with a reasonable additional cost, have it installed directly in my next house.

I already had the bathroom in mind too. I was also thinking about the window there, but the glass shower wall actually sounds almost even better :oops: Without digging through the whole thread now: Would the system be suitable for heating individual windows or do people usually go for an "all or nothing" approach (because there are dependencies that I don't know about right now)

I thought it was about experiences? With the heating windows, we saved the entire installation of any other heating system, as well as all maintenance and servicing costs. We don't need a tank or a line for gas or oil. We don't need a chimney sweep. The windows do what they are supposed to do, and with photovoltaic panels on the roof and a battery in the house, the costs over the year are low.

I'm not much of a penny pincher... I simply compared the costs of a conventional heating system - about €35,000 - €45,000 - with the additional costs of the heating windows. That results in savings of about €27,000 - €37,000. Photovoltaics on the roof are basically standard in new buildings today. So I thought, with the money saved, you can heat for a long time...! And the chimney sweep doesn't dirty anything anymore either! In rooms with small windows (e.g. [Gästetoilette]) I also hung up a heating mirror. It takes about 1 - 2 hours for a cold room to reach about 20°C, but if you stand in front of the terrace door that long, you feel like the sun is shining!
