    I think in small UK homes you have more stuff backed up against the skirting boards, hence don't know how effective these would be in reality. Also I wonder how well those seals will hold up with the constant expansion and contraction. I asked Gemini AI how much a 4 meter long piece of aluminium would expand by when heated from 20C to 60C, it said 3.68mm. So there's quite a bit of movement which might eventually wear or dry out those seals.

      As a U$A person for 69 years I must say such baseboard heating can be expected to be a round copper pipe with rectangular aluminum fins surrounding it. The vertical cover will be a hanging metal fascia. Often there will a full-length adjustable louver at an angle between the vertical fascia and a lip on top. The primary intention is convective transfer.

    • @tlangdon12
      @tlangdon12 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      It could certainly supplement the radiators and would help if there were cold spots in the room. Skirting board heating can be effective at solving problems with mould on walls as it sets up convection currents that go up the wall where it can collect any condensation on them. It won't cure a bad condensation problem, but if the problem is minor, it can solve it completely.

    I personally like the look of radiators. Especially some of the Aluminium 'designer' style and vertical ones. Nothing like putting your bottom on a nice warm radiator on a cold day! Not sure why people always want to remove features from homes and make them into sterile empty boxes?
    I could see this system working better if it was vented at the top and had an internal fan blowing the warm air out. I'm not convinced that this system would heat my rooms as efficiently and as quick as my current radiators. 50% of people's skirting boards are covered by sofas, TV units etc. our bedrooms probably have about 1m of skirting actually visible. So no way it would work in our case. 🤔

    • @rogerphelps9939
      @rogerphelps9939 5 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Be very wary of designer radiattors. Their actual surface area is generally a lot smaller than that of a standard radiator covering tthe same wall area. standard radiators are one or two solid panels oprionally wih convector fins. A designer radiator is usually just a load of fancy pipes between a bottom and top manifold. The result is much lower heat output for a given flow temperature and wall area.

  • @Patrick-y4d1z

    90watts per meter once you take into account doorways and furniture isn't going to work for any room with multiple egress points or built ins/ fireplaces etc. Also you have to take into account that if you have suspended floors future works for say adding additional sockets etc becomes a nightmare. Not suitable for all instances, same as UFH and heat pumps and basically anything.

    Awful system. Plenty of joints for leaks which will be impossible to fix without total draindown and skirting removal. This stuff is not new. The exact skirting here has been around for years and is not fitted for a reason. Please do not instal.

      But it is a crap soluion for heat pumps.Surface area is far too low. Just look at watts per metre run as a function of flow temperaure. Calculate the lengh of skirting in the room and determine the surface area. Very small compared with proper radiators.

      Labour or cons make very little difference. I'm 64 and have never seen Britain in worse condition. Poor governance for decades from both parties.
      Mrs Thatcher started the major rot selling of the family silver. Britain is now owned with nothing much left to sell. Clement Attlee had it easier than Starmer. Though Britain had been bombed to bits it still had factories that produced goods that the world wanted.
      There are dam all factories now and most of the stuff made in Britain is dependent on foreign made components that Britain no longer has the ability to produce.

    this is a dumb idea. you will lose all the heat into the wall. many houses have cavity walls or lathe and plaster. The heat will just end up in the vent space which is freezing cold. Victorian houses have no wall behind the skirt it's just nailed onto the studs behind the lathe.

    Bit like designer rads, look nice but without convection you have to be very careful with sizing and positioning as its all radiant heat.
    That and for some rooms a fair bit of this will be blocked by furniture. Think sofa and armchairs in a typical lounge. Tv unit or shelving unit etc.
    I remain sceptical but got it's place as a supplementary heat source.

  • @rogerphelps9939

    Heat output is a function of flow temperature and surface area. In a given room these things have a much smaller surface area than the radiators typically used for a heat pump. Furthermore you are stuck with wha these skiring boards give you. There is no room for expansion.That means a higher flow emperature to get the output which means lower coefficient of performance. he only way to get more heat out of a small area is to rapidly pump air over the surface. I once wrote tto his company voicing my concerns tha their product was inadequate and received no reply.

    We moved to a new council built housing estate on Central Hill, Crystal Palace back in the 70's, it had a similar system, rows of terraced houses all fed from one boiler at the end of the block, it ran along one wall and you could only control the heat by opening/closing a flap.....the council already wants to demolish the estate 🤷
