I like this system. It's compact, discreet and straightforward to install. Outputs are adequate for the modern well insulated house, and they perform well with lower temperature flows. My advice is to follow the instructions and plan ahead to be sure that the first fix connections are accurately placed. One issue I have experienced is with out-of-true surfaces. If the wall is flat and straight all is well, and the skirting fits snugly, with the top trim strip seating well. However if there is significant out of true then the lengths need to be pushed back hard to the wall surface. Even then the trim strip does not always cover the gaps. My solution is to fit a suitably sized UPVC strip, trimmed to the wall shape and lightly glued in place. I like the slightly tongue in cheek tone of your video too!
Thanks for your comments Steve, and you're spot on. If the instructions are followed it's perfectly DIYable. Regarding the wonky walls, our installation teams often bend the skirting before offering up to the wall, which looks completely mad but works surprisingly well. 👍 Perhaps we can do a video on wonky walls in future. 😀
Do you have a supplier in Canada? Or if you are thinking of a supplier who would it be maybevi can talk to them one of my clients sold a product similar to your over 20 years ago it didn't cache on I i installed a modcon natural gas boiler for him running lower temp then the original oil boiler. It works awesome. When he told me that was also heating his garage with all his tools , cabinets ect,ect,ect . I was not able to see any of the rads 21c in garage -35c outside. I would absolutely recommend plumb skirting to my customers.
I have been looking for something like this for a few years now. it looks ideal for what i want, but would be interested to see how your wireless system works. I have a tado main thermostat for the house, controlling the boiler and would like to fit the tado remote trv's to some of my radiators and also to the thermaskirt, would that be possible?
Hi Ken, The easiest and neatest way to integrate Tado with ThermaSkirt would be to use the wall mounted thermostats wired back to a two port valve. If you're not emotionally tied to Tado, then there are significantly more sohpisticated systems available which provide a whole house solution

I hope martin's business is doing well...Dragon's missed out in a big way.
Step 8 wait for the sharkbite adapters to fail so you can do it again.

Hi. You resemble Gregory Piper, the actor who played Ryan Pilkington in Line of Duty :)
I like the idea of the heat source being low down. Do the push on fittings cope with 2 bar pressure alright?
Hey John, yes all of our fittings are tested to 10 bar, and when we install genearally we test with air to 4 bar before full commision.

How does it affect the wall sockets and plugs that are set above the skirtings? Thanks
So TS heating is more similar to the infrared heaters? It wont dry out air?
Love this video and it needs to be out gh😢
We are at about 4 million views now across different platforms for your video. Are you going to Phex
It's gone bananas since we last met!
@@thermaskirt Hopefully my videos helped you buddy.
@@thermaskirt my facebook video had around 2 million views in a couple of days i believe lol
It certainly started something! Every account that features us seems to just roll 🚀
❤ thanks Allen 👍
Can I fit Hive Smart Radiator Valves onto this system?
There is a way. Its not pretty, but there's a way. 😁
Let’s see a thermal camera of the heat convection. Can’t be as effective.
Hi Greg, check out our latest video on the Energy House 2.0 test lab for details on the thermal performance
@@thermaskirt link to video?
I assume this stuff will be no good for ASHP
Yes it works well on ASHP. Up to 90w per meter at dt20 (40°C) 👍
And I can imagine how often that thermostat valve at floor level gets kicked and breaks by people mostly playing kids.
Gimmick
THIS IS NOT A NEW SYSTEM IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 50YRS OR MORE IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER
... in another form. 😅
