In certain living spaces like restaurants, nothing can be left to chance. From the flow of traffic to the atmosphere created, every detail contributes to the customer experience. For the architects responsible for renovating these establishments, this requires anticipation, precision, and creativity. And the constraints are numerous: restricted spaces, high thermal standards, the imperative to maintain activity, while enhancing the space without cluttering it. Among the technical equipment to be integrated, heating often crystallizes tensions. Traditional systems, visible and bulky, do not fit well with spaces open to customers. It is in this context that Ecomatic baseboard heaters prove to be a real asset.
A tailor-made solution for limited spaces
By simply replacing existing baseboards, they fit into the most constrained projects — those where every square meter counts, where every day of construction is counted.
For Fabien HULLAR, creator of the Ecomatic solution: « In half a day, a 60 to 100 m² restaurant space can be equipped without impacting the structure or interrupting service. No more digging or waiting for the completion of a project to install an efficient heating system. »
Beyond the ease of installation of baseboard heaters, their very operation is what makes them suitable for busy spaces. They provide enveloping, continuous heat that doesn't disturb either kitchen staff or dining room customers. Aesthetically, baseboard heaters blend into the decor. Available in all shades, with wood or metal finishes, they can even integrate outlets, light strips, or Bluetooth speakers to create a subdued and soothing ambiance. These are all details that enhance their use without cluttering the space. Freed from wall-mounted radiators, the dining room gains in lightness and modularity.
The Eiffel Tower: an exceptional setting for a precision solution
It was in the heart of an emblematic monument that Ecomatic baseboard heaters recently demonstrated their full potential. In 2023, Géraldine Lorand, interior designer, was commissioned to renovate Comptoir Gustave, a fast food outlet located at 2rd floor of the Eiffel Tower. From the very first design phases, a problem emerged: how to ensure real thermal comfort, for both teams and customers, without compromising aesthetics or interrupting business? Like the monument's various reception areas, the Comptoir Gustave has a small space with constant airflow, highly exposed to the wind. Therefore, traditional heating systems were immediately ruled out: too bulky, too visible, too complex to install in a listed building. It was while exploring alternatives that Géraldine Lorand discovered Ecomatic. The solution quickly became obvious: " While doing some research online, I came across Ecomatic baseboard heaters. What I liked about this solution was thatis its discretion, its aesthetics, but also its mode of operation. Unlike underfloor heating, baseboard heaters are easy to install and require no work or site downtime. It was exactly what I needed. » Their radiant operation, combined with gentle and even diffusion, helped neutralize the effects of the constant air currents that pass through the counter, while respecting the curves drawn around the central pillar. Their minimalist design helped to visually purify the space, leaving plenty of room for the culinary experience. In this iconic place, where every intervention must be carried out with precision and restraint, the Ecomatic baseboard heaters were able to fade into the background to better enhance their use.
French technology at the service of everyday life
Ecomatic baseboard heaters were first introduced in 2004. Fabien Hullar, inventor and manufacturer, was inspired by Canadian heating systems to develop his own solution. Made in France. Its system is now patented and manufactured with a quality requirement worthy of French know-how from design to manufacturing. The baseboard heaters guarantee a reduction of 10 to 20% in energy bills and are adapted to the needs of individuals and professionals. They are also compatible with all energy sources (electric, hot water and dual energy) and use several physical and thermodynamic principles, such as convection, inertia and radiation, to distribute heat evenly throughout all the rooms equipped.
