Modular heated board system

Abstract

The invention relates to a modular heated board system designed for outdoor applications. The system includes a plurality of modular heated boards that can be arranged in various configurations, including integration with conventional decking or to resemble furniture. Each board includes an outer surface layer exposed to external elements, an internal heating layer with electrical leads for power input and output, an insulating layer directing heat upwards, and an enclosing and fastening layer for attachment to structures. The boards can be electrically interconnected, allowing for a single power source to heat multiple boards. A transformer/control box is incorporated to regulate voltage and distribute power across the boards. The design ensures efficient heating, safety, and versatility in both new constructions and retrofit scenarios.
