Current trends in architecture and interior design emphasize the maximum use of space, clean lines, and multifunctionality of every detail. Traditional radiators are often elements that visually disrupt the continuity of walls or the view from large-format glazing. An elegant solution to this aesthetic and technical problem is represented by designer heating benches – a "2 in 1" concept that combines an efficient heating unit with a fully functional furniture element.
Combination of steel and solid wood
The basis of the heating benches is a robust, technically sophisticated construction of a steel radiator or convector. The upper part of the unit is fitted with a solid wood panel treated with a clear varnish. Exclusively natural solid wood adds a warm accent to the interior and guarantees high durability even under full operational load in public spaces. For easy coordination with other interior elements, the wooden panels are normally supplied in natural finishes of beech and oak natural, maple, and birch.
Wide architectural application: From residences to the public sector
Thanks to their shape variability, structural stability, and ability to eliminate heat losses at large-format glazed surfaces, heating benches are applicable in a wide range of typologies:
Public sector and transportation: Foyers, vestibules, waiting rooms, shopping centers, airport terminals, and train stations.
Commercial and office spaces: Entrance receptions, communication corridors, and informal relaxation zones.
Healthcare and social care: Waiting areas in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes.
Residential buildings: Entrances, lobbies, and spaces under French windows in living rooms.
Four typological solutions in the ISAN range
The ISAN brand portfolio offers four specific design solutions that can meet diverse technical and design requirements of projects:
Spiral Bench (NEW)
The combination of the distinctive ribbed tube body and solid wood gives the space an original industrial look. For minimalist concepts, a version with smooth tubes is also available.
Atol Bench
A classic sectional radiator horizontally mounted into a stable side structure. It combines high performance with traditional, timeless design. A practical solution for heating and for placing items.
Ecolite Bench
A freestanding convector modified for attaching a wooden panel. It represents an ideal solution in front of French windows in living rooms, airport lounges, or waiting rooms, providing thermal comfort and relaxation.
Exact Bench
The body made of precise flat profiles creates a geometrically clean surface for placement or seating. Particularly suitable for modern-designed entrances and minimalist corridors.
Added value for modern interiors
ISAN heating benches demonstrate how a purely technical element can be transformed into an active element in the interior. Instead of complicated coverings, the radiator becomes a dominant solitar with the added function of seating or placing items.
