Prefer an Above-Floor Option?

Floor Standing Heaters offer the same discreet perimeter warmth as trench heating — but in a minimalist, elegant format that sits above the floor.

Designed for highly glazed spaces, they deliver quiet, effective heating via natural convection (or fan-assisted options for higher output). Use them as a primary heating system or as a supplementary solution to prevent condensation and downdraught.

Ideal for retrofit applications, listed buildings, or when subfloor depth is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions

Uses For Trench Heating

Primary or secondary heating source

Trench heating can be used either as a highly effective primary heating system or as a secondary heating system to help increase overall heating system efficiency by counteracting downdraught and heating losses in highly glazed areas.

Trench Heating Models for Wet or Humid Environments

In addition, the Hitte range offers specially adapted models for operation in wet or humid areas such as swimming pools, saunas and garden terracing.

Types of Trench Heating

Hitte Natural Convection (lphw): operates on the principle of natural convection without a fan
Hitte Fan-assisted Convection (lphw): rapid start-up, increased heating output
Hitte Fan-assisted Electric: ideal where a hot water supply is not readily available
Hitte Heating & Cooling: enjoy warm winters and cool summers from a single system

The Natural Convection Trench Heating and Fan Assisted Convection Trench Heating units and Heating and Cooling Trench systems all use piped hot water (LPHW) as the heat source. The heat outputs directly relate to the flow/return temperatures of that source whether a conventional hot water boiler, solar energy hot water system or ground source heat pump. The Electric Trench uses 230V single phase electricity supply and the heat output relates to the length of each trench unit and the number of electric elements fitted.

Bespoke Trench Heating Designs

Choose from an Extensive Standard Range or opt for Bespoke Designs. The standard Hitte range offers a vast combination of unit depths, widths and lengths as well as many choices on grilles, trough materials and finishes. For seamless perimeter designs, it also offers mitred cornering and can produce bespoke curved units on request.

If you have a large project where the standard range does not quite meet all your needs, the team at Commercial Industrial Heat can also work with you on bespoke Hitte designs to meet the most challenging of requirements.

Perimeter Heating

Minimalist Style, Floor-Standing Perimeter Heating from Hitte.
Where a floor trench is not feasible but a discreet and sleek low level perimeter heating is solution is sought, the modern, pure clean aesthetics of the Hitte Floor Standing Perimeter Heating system makes it ideal for residential, public and office spaces.

The Perimeter Heating systems operate by means of natural convection and use piped hot water (LPHW) as the heat source. The heat outputs directly relate to the flow/return temperatures of that source whether a conventional hot water boiler, solar energy hot water system or ground source heat pump.
