By making use of modern technology in boilers, a combination using
Hilton Croft underfloor heating and a weather compensating heating controller
means better annual efficiency ratings for the boiler system; lower losses
due to stand-by operation and downtime. This cuts down heating costs in
comparison with heating systems running at higher temperatures.
In addition to this, Hilton Croft underfloor heating systems can
be fitted with an automatic room temperature control facility, which can
even be individually adjusted for specific times, depending on the use
being made of the room (the Veltamat KR system).
These regulating facilities are supported by the physical fact
of the enormous self-regulating effect integral in the system, achieved
by the low temperature of the heating surface to room air temperature,
achieving a mean value of 4 to 5°K. often demonstrably higher than
on the floor, but as the name suggests, a room with underfloor heating
can never be cold underfoot.
Underfloor heating is one of the greatest advances in the history
of domestic heating, from the cave to the modern home of today.
