How Does ThermaSkirt Work ?
They heated by water like a radiator. They work on true radiation, like UFH They heat all round the room at low level They connect onto conventional plumbed
heating systems. Low temperature versions have become
available for Renewable Energy Sources
How are they Installed ?
They replace the skirtings around the room. They are fixed to the walls using concealed
fixings, usually at 2nd fix stage. They often utilise standard push fit fittings to
make the connections to the heating system. They often use special connectors at joints
and corners to complete the system.
How does Thermal Skirting Perform ?
Responds like a radiator – heats a room in minutes not hours
Heat distribution is indistinguishable from UFH
Cools down quickly in response to changing external temperature
Works with any floor covering - unaffected by timber, carpet & laminate
Energy Efficiency
All the heat energy is input into the room No energy is wasted heating the ceiling or
the floor slab. No energy wasted in reaching the far side
of the room. Not all furniture is against the walls ~ all
furniture is on the floor. Only ON when required, and OFF when
not.
Eco Friendly & Renewable Energy Sources
Typical Application in SIPPs Construction
Nibe Heat Pump & ThermaSkirt
Installation in brick & block
McCarthy & Stone using Dimplex Air Source
Where can it be used ?
Conservatories
Conservatories
Living Rooms

Special Shapes & Solutions
Summary
The Simplicity and Response of a Radiator The Comfort Levels of UnderFloor Heating Uses up no wall space to maximise living area Does NOT warm hard surfaces such as tiles Economic running –only On when required Can be adapted, modified and repaired. Works with any floor construction or covering.
