During the \u00a314.2 million restoration of Hastings Pier<\/strong> in East Sussex, the Pavilion Restaurant & Bar required a heating system that would not add excess weight to the historic cast-iron structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A traditional wet system was ruled out \u2014 it would have placed too much load on the refurbished flooring and risked long-term structural stress. The challenge was to deliver a lightweight, efficient electric underfloor heating system<\/strong> that could heat large, irregular spaces while preserving the integrity of the original superstructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through our subsidiary Heatmat<\/strong>, Heatcom Group supplied a complete 160 W\/m\u00b2 electric underfloor heating system<\/strong> for the restaurant, kitchen pod, staff areas and service zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To manage the complex layout, the system was divided into three heating zones<\/strong> using a combination of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each zone is controlled by NGTouch colour touchscreen thermostats<\/strong>, allowing staff to easily manage temperatures across the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heatmat\u2019s project manager worked on-site during construction to calculate the heating requirements and ensure the installation aligned with the pier\u2019s structural limitations. Wholesaler Edmundson Electrical (Crawley) supplied materials directly to site to support the installation schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This configuration delivered full heating coverage<\/strong> while keeping weight to a minimum \u2013 a critical requirement for a Victorian pier that originally opened in 1872.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The system was installed and commissioned in April 2016 by Premier Electrical Services and performed flawlessly at reopening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the pier re-opened to the public on 21 May 2016<\/strong> with a concert by Madness, the new underfloor heating helped create a comfortable environment for staff and visitors \u2014 without adding structural stress to the historic cast-iron framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final system provides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heatcom Group, through its subsidiary Heatmat, delivered a lightweight 160 W\/m\u00b2 electric underfloor heating system for the restored Hastings Pier. Using heating mats, loose cable and NGTouch thermostats, the solution provides full heating coverage while protecting the historic structure from excess load.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[728],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-elgulvvarme"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
