Trench Heating
Trench heating systems provide discreet, space-saving warmth along glazed walls. Our natural convection units eliminate cold spots and condensation while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Ideal for extensions, conservatories, and commercial spaces with floor-to-ceiling glass, these systems deliver consistent heat distribution without intrusive fans. The steel casing with aluminium finned elements ensures efficient thermal performance, with grilles available in custom RAL colours to match interior designs.
Tubular Radiators
Compact steel tubular radiators combine high output with minimalist design. Manufactured with spirally wound fins for optimal heat transfer, these units suit tight spaces like conservatories and under window areas. Available in five standard lengths with powder-coated finishes, they offer 200mm height profiles for unobtrusive installation. The mechanical bonding process ensures long-term durability even in extreme conditions, making them ideal for both domestic and commercial applications.
Premier Radiant Panels
Modular radiant ceiling panels deliver efficient heating through aluminium sections interlocked with copper tubing. Designed for standard ceiling grids, these 50mm depth units provide even heat distribution in commercial spaces. The oven-baked polyester finish ensures lasting appearance, while integrated reflectors enhance thermal efficiency. Suitable for offices, sports facilities, and industrial settings requiring low-profile heating solutions with minimal visual impact.
Finned Tube Heating
Copper tube elements with mechanically bonded aluminium fins offer superior heat transfer performance. Available in 15mm and 22mm diameters, these exchangers suit diverse applications from airing cupboards to greenhouse installations. The corrugated fin design maximises surface contact for enhanced thermal conductivity, with lengths up to 3 metres allowing custom configuration. Natural convection operation reduces maintenance requirements compared to forced-air systems.
Conservatory Heating
Specialist heating solutions for conservatories featuring trench systems and low-profile radiators. Our designs counteract significant heat loss through glass structures while preserving unobstructed views. Trench units installed beneath glazed walls create warm air curtains, while tubular radiators provide supplementary heating without compromising floor space. Bespoke configurations ensure optimal temperature control in all-season conservatory environments.
Questions
What makes trench heating ideal for glazed extensions?
Trench heating creates warm air curtains along glass walls, preventing cold spots and condensation while maintaining unobstructed views.
Can tubular radiators work in small spaces?
Yes, our low-profile 200mm high radiators fit under windows and in tight corners without compromising heating output.
Are your heating elements compatible with renewable energy systems?
Our systems work with heat pumps and traditional boilers, including low-temperature operation for ASHP compatibility.
Do you supply bespoke heating solutions?
We manufacture made-to-measure trench heaters and radiators to exact project specifications across the UK.
How do natural convection systems compare to fan-assisted units?
Our natural convection systems operate silently, require no electrical connection, and allow easier debris removal compared to fan-based alternatives.
