into its surroundings. With millimetre exact planning line forms a heat wall in front of windows creating a
pleasant and comfortable indoor climate. This intelli-
gent use of natural convection means heat is directed
to where it is most needed and ensures cost effective
energy usage. Where the required outputs cannot be
achieved through natural convection the performance
of the Zehnder Terraline can be reinforced with fans.
The forced convection range incorporates a three-
speed fan to guarantee a high thermal output. This
enables the room to be heated quickly and efficiently,
whilst continuing to maintain the design flexibility.
