BAL Group Expands Commercial HVAC Product Range with Exclusive European Partnership

By Bob Parker, Sales Director, BAL Group

At BAL Group, we have taken a major step forward in the heating, cooling, and HVAC markets. Following our recent acquisition of thermal design specialists Heatech Ltd, our rapid growth caught the attention of a major Western European HVAC manufacturer. This has led to an exciting new agreement, giving us the exclusive rights to market and sell their premium climate control products right here in the United Kingdom.

This deal is excellent news for our UK customers. It allows all three brands under our group’s umbrella—BAL Group, Radiant Heating and Cooling, and Heatech Ltd—to expand our product ranges significantly. By bringing these finished European systems together with our trusted British manufacturing, we can now act as a single, straightforward supplier for all kinds of commercial, public sector, and residential projects nationwide.

What This Means Across Our Three Core Divisions

Instead of just supplying individual parts, this exclusive distribution agreement brings our design and manufacturing teams closer together so we can offer complete, full-system solutions that meet strict UK building specifications.

1. BAL Group (Core Manufacturing)

As one of the UK’s leading names for aluminium extrusion and multi-metal components, we are building these new finished systems right into our existing lineup. Our customers can now order custom aluminium extrusions, aluminium heatsinks, and copper heatsinks while sourcing fully compliant heating and cooling units at the same time. This keeps everything under one roof, cuts down on paperwork, and helps shorten delivery times for project managers.

2. Radiant Heating and Cooling

This division has already earned a strong reputation for manufacturing our high-efficiency, fully tested Spectrum Plus and Spectrum Pro Aluminium Radiant Panels. While our radiant ceiling panels remain a brilliant choice for saving space and keeping air hygienic in schools and offices, this partnership turns us into a complete, one-stop shop. We can now provide a much wider variety of heating and cooling setups to fit tricky architectural designs.

3. Heatech Ltd

With years of specialist engineering under their belts, our team at Heatech Ltd will keep doing what they do best: designing clever, bespoke thermal solutions. This new partnership gives our engineers a fantastic new set of tools to work with, helping us create comfortable, efficient systems for public buildings and workspaces while meeting the latest UK building specs.

How We Help Public Sector Projects Go Green

Modern UK Building Regulations place immense pressure on architects, local authorities, and M&E engineers to choose safe, eco-friendly, and highly efficient infrastructure. We are using this updated product range to design safer, greener indoor environments that align perfectly with modern sustainability benchmarks:

• Schools and Academies: Classrooms need reliable, fast-acting heating that keeps temperatures steady without creating uncomfortable cold drafts or blowing dust and allergens around, aligning with BB101 ventilation and indoor air quality guidelines.
• Hospitals and Healthcare: Medical sites require flawless hygiene and very strict safety standards. Our heating systems deliver plenty of warmth while keeping outer surfaces safe to touch, strictly adhering to Health Technical Memoranda (HTM 03-01) guidelines to protect vulnerable patients.
• Offices and Public Buildings: Modern commercial spaces want stylish, low-carbon heating that helps developers hit high energy ratings—such as BREEAM Excellent standards and optimized EPC target ratings—without wasting valuable floor space.

By combining top-tier European engineering with our local, hands-on support, we make it easy for specifiers to find BS EN compliant systems that work beautifully with modern low-temperature networks, such as commercial air source heat pumps. This helps our clients lower their carbon footprint and reduce their energy bills.

A Closer Look at Our New HVAC Product Lineup

This exclusive UK agreement brings eight excellent, high-efficiency product lines into our commercial catalogue, all fully CE and UKCA marked to meet rigorous safety regulations:

Radiator and Space Heating Solutions

Low Surface Temperature (LST) Radiators

Perfect for spaces where safety comes first, like hospitals, care homes, and nurseries. These units throw out plenty of heat, but we ensure the outer casing stays safe and cool to the touch (under 43°C) to prevent accidental burns, meeting NHS safe surface temperature guidelines.

Designer Radiators

These units prove you don’t have to sacrifice style for performance. They offer high thermal efficiency while looking sleek and modern, making them ideal for high-end apartments and premium workspaces.

Towel Radiators

We build these to be tough, space-saving, and efficient. They are designed to handle moisture control and look great in hotels, student housing, and modern residential developments.

Advanced Climate Controls

Intelligent Energy Management Controls

Our smart control systems make it easy to manage temperatures and set up distinct heating zones. This ensures heating only runs when and where it is actually needed, preventing energy waste and linking up smoothly with Building Management Systems (BMS) to satisfy Part L building compliance.

Convector and Trench Heating Technologies

Electric Convectors

As the UK actively moves away from traditional gas setups, electric heating is becoming a go-to choice. Our convectors offer an adaptable, zero-emission-at-source option for quick warmth in building retrofits and modern eco-properties.

Electric Trench Heaters

These clever heaters sit flush with the floor, making them ideal for modern rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass. They create a curtain of rising warmth that blocks cold drafts from windows without blocking the view or cluttering the walls.

Standard Convectors

Designed to warm up large areas quickly, these systems use natural or fan-assisted airflow to spread heat evenly across high-volume spaces like long corridors, shops, and busy reception lobbies.

Hydronic Trench Heaters

These fit seamlessly right into standard “wet” central heating systems. We design them to sit hidden away in the floor to provide subtle, efficient perimeter heating for large open-plan offices and glazed atriums.

Making Life Simpler for the UK Construction Supply Chain

We know that dealing with fragmented overseas suppliers, customs delays, and long shipping times can be a real headache for mechanical contractors and project specifiers. We solve that problem by giving our UK clients direct access to premium Western European technology, fully backed by our local engineering expertise right here in Britain.

We handle all technical support and consultations directly from our UK facilities. Our internal sales and engineering teams are filled with industry experts who bring decades of practical experience to the table. This means you get quick answers, fast delivery times, and reliable backup when dealing with complex projects. From the first structural drawings and heat calculations to final on-site delivery, we make it easier to get large-scale, eco-friendly HVAC projects done right while complying with modern UK standards.
