It’s cold outside; sometimes you are even snowed in and cannot leave your house. It is boring, cold and it’s not fun at all to look into the dreary grey landscape! And when you walk down the slippery street – careful not to fall – you yearn for summer.
And with Trotec it will come sooner than you think! With our campaign “In the winter, already looking forward to summer”. Read More
Work tents come in all shapes and sizes. That’s because they are designed to cater for a wide range of different demands and a variety of different needs.
Not only are work tents used to shelter and protect workmen – and women – technicians, electricians, welders, plumbers and people from countless other professions from relentless rain, sleet showers, snow squalls, the scorching sun and anything else that nature can throw at them while they are carrying out inspections or maintenance work on switch and control cabinets or toiling in holes and trenches, they are also hugely popular on film sets and in television as well as in many sectors of industry too.
That’s why instead of just offering a fine range of robust, standard-sized, standard-type models which are ideal for certain customer segments but far from ideal for you, the individual, who would need to adapt around them to suit your own very specific requirements, we are also able to provide a sheer endless selection of bespoke solutions that encompass an array of different functions and features designed to cater for each of your individual needs.
When you order a work tent from Trotec, you are free to choose from any one of the following features. Or a combination of any of the elements if that’s what’s best, for the task at hand. Read More
Whether you’re an experienced electrician – or whether you’re undergoing training to be one – there are two things which you know you cannot afford to compromise on. One is safety and the other one is good tools.
That’s why we at Trotec have put together a Professional 4 piece set designed to provide you with a selection of high quality yet low price easy-to-use state-of-the-art tools that have been manufactured so that they – and you – can comfortably cope with the demands that everyday use puts on both you and them and which you as someone for whom safety always comes first can safely rely on to provide you with quick and accurate measurement results time after time after time.
The Electric Package Pro comprises four cutting edge pieces of measuring equipment that no self-respecting – or budding – electrician should be without! Read More
If you’ve been in the business as long as we have – and we’ve been in the business of providing customers in industry and in the commercial sector, as well as hundreds of thousands of private customers, with machines, measuring equipment, IR cameras and bespoke solutions in the field of dehumidification, ventilation, heating and climate control for the best part of 20 years now – you will have also had your fair share of positive and negative experiences, promises that were kept and promises that were broken, and assurances and guarantees that either turned out to be worth little more than the paper they were printed on or nothing more but a lot of hot air.
So when a new supplier contacted our purchasing department claiming that their company would be able to supply us with specially manufactured, heat resistant air discharge hoses that were designed to transport hot air up to a temperature of 100C we were naturally very interested but nonetheless – well – a little cautious. Because although such hoses would be excellently suited for use with our wide range of electric and oil heaters, and would complement our existing range of air hoses very nicely, the proof of the pudding – as the saying goes – is in the eating.
And because we are committed to providing you with the best possible quality at the best possible price, all the products and accessories which make up our extensive portfolio are subjected to rigorous and comprehensive testing before they receive the Trotec seal of approval. In this particular case this meant that sample hoses which we had been sent were passed on to our Product Management Department with the explicit request that our team of dedicated engineers carry out the appropriate tests to determine whether the hoses were as good as they were made out to be.
Which is why our team of experts popped the hoses into an oven. Read More
When was the last time you went on a bike tour through one of our many inspiringly picturesque countrysides, along paths that followed scenic stretches of waterways, through hauntingly beautiful forests or woodland, across sprawling commons or down winding, rickety roads and up narrow, twisted tracks as you drank in the wonderful views and scenery in between long, deep breaths of bracing, clean, fresh air?
And when was the last time you checked the pressure of the tyres on your bike? Read More
If you are a homeowner – regardless whether you are the owner-occupier or the landlord – one of the worst things that can happen to you apart from being hit by floods and high water, the fate that faced whole regions up and down the country after the recent truly terrifying torrential downpours during which up to a month’s worth of rain fell in the short space of only 24 hours – is to be hit by water damage.
The reasons for water damage can be manifold: a burst or leaking water pipe or connection, a broken dishwasher or washing machine, blocked plumbing, a defect or leaking roof or shoddy workmanship and poor materials.
But whatever the cause, one thing is sure: You need to take action. And you need to take it fast! Read More
Mould.
Mould doesn’t just look awful (the ugly blotches and dark stains that can cover whole walls are often the result of excess moisture caused either by high humidity levels, thermal bridges, poor insulation, cold walls or water damage).
And it doesn’t just smell awful (who could ever forget that biting stench that hits you when you enter a room where mould has been festering unnoticed for some time in concealed corners or cavities or behind tiles, panelling or dry walls or ceilings?).
And it doesn’t just cause you to catch your breath when you are unwittingly confronted with the dank, earthy odour that causes your eyes to sting and your senses to reel.
Mould is dangerous. It can not only cause wood, for example furniture and even the structure of buildings to rot and decay, it can also cause paper and leather to stain and weaken and it can damage goods, books, fabrics and prized possessions beyond repair.
But worse still it can trigger allergic reactions, cause severe skin, respiratory and other health problems – and it can kill.
This is why some countries, particularly the UK, the US, Canada and Germany, have taken a new approach to tackling this widespread problem and have started to use so-called sniffer dogs, dogs that have been specially trained to not only sniff out drug caches, explosives, contraband and stashed away cash, but also to sniff out mould!

What kind of a buyer are you?
Are you the impulsive or trusting buyer, the buyer who is more likely to accept what he or she sees at face value and who – to a certain extent at least – is prepared to believe the promises and accept the hype surrounding a particular product?
Or do you see yourself more as the cautious and critical buyer, the buyer who likes to find out more about the product they wish to buy – even if this means sacrificing a considerable amount of time and energy – to ensure that they are not only getting the best possible value for their money but also that what they are being sold is all that it is cracked up to be?
If you see yourself as a member of the latter category, then the chances are that before you place your trust in a certain product – and therefore inevitably in a certain company – you will spend a fair amount of time either thumbing through various consumer magazines, visiting various consumer websites, watching various test videos or reading various customer reviews – or even all four!
Take the BD15 laser distance meter from Trotec, for example. It certainly looks like a professional product. And if you read the accompanying jargon, it also appears to have a long list of professional features to match:
The BD15 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use measuring device designed to enable you to carry out quick, accurate and stress-free indoor measurements up to a distance of 50 m. Not only does the BD15 sit neatly in your hand – and fit snugly into your pocket – it is also equipped with an array of useful functions and valuable features including a Pythagoras function that enables you to carry out precise and reliable indirect measurements and a calculator that allows you to add, subtract and carry out area and volume calculations without having to fumble for a pocket calculator or pen and paper first. In addition, the robust, ergonomically-formed handheld meter with soft-grip housing is both dust and splashproof and therefore excellently suited for the demands which everyday use puts on it.
Sounds good. Actually, it sounds excellent! But why take our word for it? Why not take the word of a leading German D-I-Y magazine which tested the BD15 and see what they have to say?
“The BD15 laser distance meter from Trotec provides the user with almost all the measuring possibilities which meters in this class have to offer at a very low price. The belt bag and hand strap ensure that it is always ready at hand.”
Indeed the D-I-Y watchdog magazine was so convinced by the BD15’s accuracy, handling and features that it decided to award it top marks in all three categories – as well as the highest possible score with regard to value for money – before classifying it as a top class product!
Well, you can’t say any fairer than that, can you?!
Oh, and by the way… if we have succeeded in convincing you that you will be hard pushed to find a better buy than the BD15, one of the many multi-measuring devices, machines, infrared cameras and appliances which all make up the extensive product portfolio from Trotec, then you might like to know that you can now also buy the brand new BD10, a laser distance meter which ticks most of the boxes its big brother does and which has a range of 30 instead of 50 m.
Go to the Trotec24 online shop to order your laser distance meter now.
Trotec. Probably more than you had bargained for.
Do you, like me, like a really good bargain? And are you someone who, like most of us, likes to make the most of their money when they buy something which they consider to be essential not only to their own health and well being but also to that of their family and those they are close to?
If the answer to both questions is yes, then you will be happy to hear that now – and only while stocks last – you can buy one of our high-quality, good-as-new, second-choice PAC 3500 air conditioners for not 40, not 50 but almost 60% off the price you would normally have to pay for a brand new model – and even a full 120 euros under our fabulous, stunning sale price of €349.00!

There are a number of truly great ideas or inventions which, because they are so monumentous, have succeeded in forever changing our lives.
Take sliced bread for example. It must rank high on many people’s scales or why else would they refer to it as one of the most important milestones in history when heaping praise on a particularly brilliant idea or describing the importance and ingenuity of an invention they think exceptionally highly of (“…the greatest thing since sliced bread!”)?
Well, there may come a time – who knows – when this popular expression will have to make way for an equally ingenious and no less society-changing phenomenon than the one that in its day was heralded as “the greatest forward step in the baking industry”, and which, from one day to the next, transformed our attitudes and the way we think towards what was hitherto considered to be the common, or uncut, loaf. The talk is of the AirLock 100.
The AirLock 100 – quite simply called the AirLock by its growing number of ardent followers and faithful fans – is at first sight often mistaken for a simple window seal system. Which it is. But there the secret lies. In its simplicity. And its ingenuity. Read More
