Hotbox Thermabeds

Hotbox Thermabed is a water-based system for root zone heating. Made to measure and designed to encourage germination and propagation. Thermabed is ideal for areas of 50m² or larger bench heating systems. 

Optimum growing temperature -  precise thermostatic control from 6-38°C

Quick and easy to install - on the ground or on benches

Energy-efficient - inexpensive to run on gas, oil, solid fuel or bio-fuel

Durable construction - reliability built-in

Simple design - low maintenance costs

The Hotbox Thermabed system consists of moulded expanded polystyrene panels that fit together to form the required area. These panels have a channel which forms a continuous loop into which a flexible water pipe is fitted. 

The unique design is arranged so that the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe run side by side, thus providing a uniform temperature over the entire surface. The Hotbox Thermabed system comes complete with polystyrene panels, flexible piping, interconnectors and BSP Valves. The system is made to measure and panels will be cut in house to the width required. 

The Hotbox Thermabed is used for propagation and for maintaining correct rooting temperatures of all crops. Where controlled distribution of temperature is required, Hotbox International Ltd. can supply highly accurate thermostats. For uniform heat distribution, they can supply heavy-duty aluminium foil to cover the Thermabed surface.
