If you live in Geelong, The Surf Coast or The Bellarine and are planning a renovation or a new build and you’re exploring the different heating options out there, consider trench convector heating.
What is trench convector heating?
Trench convector heating is a form of hydronic heating, made up of water pipes installed below floor level in trenches. The pipes are filled with hot water and activated via a thermostat. The heat is then convected through sleek looking vents in the floor, tailored to match your floors and home design.
Why trench convector heating over other types?
Trench convector heating is perfect for the architecturally designed home with lots of floor to ceiling glass, or where wall space is limited or being used by furniture.
Trench convector heating ensures that in the cooler months, the home remains warm and temperature-controlled, despite the large panels of glass exposed to the cold.
Trench convector heating is also beautifully minimalist, low and hidden below the floor. For the interior designer who wants to curate their home with precision and style, this type of heating is stunningly passive and discreet.
If you have young children in the home, trench convector heating is the safest heating of all, with no open flames, hot panels, dust mites or flammable surfaces, you can have peace of mind that your precious little one will not be harmed.
