Recovery system
Thermatek® heaters stop cold migration, preventing frost heave, condensation, and energy loss in refrigerated spaces.
The product
Prevent structural damage and restore stability
Thermatek™ Frost Heave Recovery Systems provide an effective solution for restoring and stabilising freezer and cold store floors affected by frost heave. Designed for retrofitting into existing facilities, this system gradually reverses frost heave damage by applying controlled, ultra-low voltage heating to the subfloor.
How it works
When subfloor temperatures drop below freezing, moisture in the ground forms ice lenses, causing the floor to rise and crack. Thermatek’s Frost Heave Recovery System counteracts this by installing heating elements beneath the affected area, gently thawing the ice over time and allowing the floor to settle back to its original level.
