What is Trench Heating?
Trench heating is where we install a hydronic panel system within a trench in the subfloor with a grill over the top that matches into your flooring. It is the preferred method of heating a room with large expanses of glazing, little wall space or if panels are not desired. The pipes are laid from the boiler through the slab or sub floor to the end of the trench. Trench heaters can be purchased as an off the shelf product or can be boxed out by the builder. The hot water heats a panel that is in one side of the trench so as cold air falls off of the glazing into the trench it is then heated and rises.

Grill Finishes
The grill that covers the trench can be a standard off the shelf product or a bespoke product that is made to match your taste or flooring.
How long does it take to heat?
Trench heating is highly responsive. While controlled by a thermostatic controller so that it maintains a comfortable temperature, when turned on you'll notice that your home will be warm within half an hour. As they are part of a hydronic system, they are incredibly efficient as water is a great conductor of heat energy.
