Trace Heating · Surface Heating

One of the main applications for trace heating is to maintain specific temperatures of pipes or vessels by providing surface heating. It is usually provided in conjunction with insulation to minimise heat loss. Trace heating can also be used to provide electrical heating to areas that benefit from additional heating, for example underfloor heating for comfort and heating of roads and pathways. We can provide trace heating on a supply only basis or alternatively offer a full installation service.

Typical trace heating · surface heating applications:

Maintain temperatures of hot liquid service pipes e.g. viscous fluid transfer
Frost prevention of service pipes, agricultural water supplies, fire hose mains and sprinklers
Surface heating of buried pipes
Snow and ice protection of paths, driveways and staircases
Underfloor heating
