Trench Heating
Our trench heating systems provide discreet, efficient warmth for glazed extensions and conservatories. Installed beneath floor level, these systems use natural convection to eliminate cold spots and condensation while maintaining architectural aesthetics. Ideal for spaces with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, our solutions combine technical excellence with unobtrusive design.
Tubular Radiators
Compact steel tubular radiators deliver high heat output in limited spaces. Perfect for under-window installations and tight corners, these durable units combine modern design with mechanical efficiency. Available in standard lengths with optional wall or floor mounting for versatile application in domestic and commercial settings.
Radiant Panels
Premier radiant ceiling panels offer efficient space heating with minimal visual impact. Constructed from modular aluminium sections, these systems integrate seamlessly into suspended ceilings while providing consistent warmth. Ideal for commercial spaces requiring unobtrusive heating solutions that maintain architectural design integrity.
Finned Tube Elements
Copper tube with aluminium finned elements provide superior heat transfer for bespoke applications. These durable components can be customised for various installations including behind radiator covers, under cabinets, and in industrial settings. Designed for longevity with mechanical bonding that maintains performance over decades.
Conservatory Heating
Specialist heating solutions for conservatories and sunrooms address significant heat loss through glass structures. Our systems combine trench heating, tubular radiators, and finned elements to maintain comfort while preserving unobstructed views. Tailored installations ensure efficient warmth without compromising architectural design elements.
Questions
How does trench heating work with floor-to-ceiling glass walls?
Trench heating systems create a warm air curtain along glazed walls using natural convection, preventing cold spots and condensation while maintaining unobstructed views.
What sizes are available for trench heaters?
We offer six standard trench heater widths with depths from 95mm to 185mm, with bespoke sizes available to meet specific project requirements.
Can tubular radiators be installed in tight spaces?
Our low-profile tubular radiators (200mm high) are ideal for confined areas, with compact dimensions that work well under windows and in architectural extensions.
Are the heating elements suitable for conservatories?
Yes, our trench heating systems and tubular radiators are specifically designed to address heat loss challenges in glazed conservatory spaces.
How are radiant ceiling panels installed?
Modular aluminium radiant panels interlock for easy installation in standard ceiling grids, with configurations available from 150mm to 1200mm widths.
