While well-insulated, the building tends to be particularly cold in the mornings before the production process starts to generate heat. An ageing oil-fired warm air system was inadequate to the task of bringing the premises up to temperature to provide comfort for operatives.

AmbiRad has a reputation for quality heating products that deliver great economic benefits.’
Four VSX radiant tube heaters were installed in the roof space above two production bays. A herringbone configuration allows flueing straight to atmosphere, effectively eliminating the possibility of condensation build-up.
The heaters take less than 30 minutes to bring the working temperature up to 22°C. The units deliver heat exactly where it is needed – where people are working and at the lowest two meters of the building.
