Trench Heating for Garden Buildings – The Benefits
A building in your garden can be used for a range of purposes, from a home studio or office, conservatory or summer house – even a granny annex for a relative to live an independent life in closer proximity to family. More and more people are choosing large bifold doors, which are great for natural light, and letting lots of fresh air in during the summer months – but when autumn and winter come in, bigger glass doors can tend to let the cold in. If this is the case, you may end up paying more on energy for heaters, or even stop using your building altogether.
In this post, we’ll explore some of the ways trench heating could be the solution you need to keep your garden building in use at any time of the year, in all weathers.
What is Trench Heating?
This space saving and economical heating system is installed under your floorboards, and covered with an aesthetically pleasing grille that is on a level with the floor. Trench heating requires no radiators, or additional devices, and is easy to maintain. It works by sucking in cold air, transforming it into warm air, and sending the warm air upwards into the room. This causes it to spread easily, transferring the heat evenly across the building. Without the need for fossil fuels, trench heating is one of the most sustainable options, as it uses existing air through a natural convection process.
If you are trying to safe space in your small building, trench heating will allow you to make the most of what is there, rather than relying on large heaters.
Low Maintenance
Our trench heating solutions are remarkably easy to look after once they are installed. To clean the grille, all you need to use is a damp cloth once a week. To clean inside the grille, you can remove the grille, and use the small attachment of your hoover to remove any dust or debris that might have gathered. This will keep it working smoothly for a long time.
