This looks good. I like the lack of dust building up at the back as happens with traditional rads. Easy to wipe down too to avoid dust building up on plate. Nice.
I've had this in my dining room (3 walls) for the past 15 years. It really is as good as this video makes it look. I'm not a plumber but I fitted it myself (replacing 2 radiators) with no problems. Good amount of heat and looks so much better than radiators.
My grandfather had skirting heating that looks virtually the same he installed in the 60's 😂 worked well house was only secondary glazed but always warm and cozy
We have antique furniture which cannot be close to a radiator or heat source. Intermittent radiators are the only answer. This system seems to be perfect for modern apartments. Full marks for innovation.
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.
Initially thought this looked ideal for my living room, but with solid concrete floors, a bay window, 3 doorways plus French doors this would be a nightmare to install.
Have a look at Variotherm (amongst others) - wall/ceiling panels with built in heating pipes akin to ufh. Compatible with ashp and can cool as well as heat a room if ashp has cooling mode.
@@edwardpickering9006 yeh, retrofitting is out of the question in most cases and really only suitable in new builds but it's rarely fitted due to the cost.
Acually very poor for heat pumps. I have looked ino this and surface area for a ypical room is far too low. Very similar to designer radiattors which are also poor.
Skiting board are there to oritect the battim of the wall form daily knocks and bangs. Exey joint and corner is a weak point, then you have kids constitaly badhing imto them. Its a system thats been around for years and litealy almost all that went this way with it, had issues snd ended up back with rads.
interesting idea, im curious to see it tested in the wild! those oval push fittings leave me doubtful... looks like something that could start leaking pretty fast, idk tho im no expert
What about existing fire places with a concrete base please? Also on some older houses with funny shaped rooms, the angles aren't anywhere near 45 degrees. How would it cope with that if the couplings are 45 degrees? Finally could it help with rising damp on an external wall if there is heat going all the way along it? Thanks.
the house i moved into has old scholl skirting Rads sit probly 2in off the wall around 2 sides of the room even at that size there way less intrusive than a RAD on the wall you can put furniture against any wall and it doesnt look silly sat out of the wall because of RADS and obviously you just dont notice them like you do big RADS on walls, are they better for heating mine are anchient in a 30s house and they kick out plenty of heat for what they are, if i was redoing a house from scratch, price dependant i would easy look at these all the way round a room,
I imagine because a triangle cross section would cause a higher pressure loss and wouldn’t necessarily mean more surface area at the front rather than wall since only 1/3 is against the skirting face
@@robertpowell7672No. O rings rely on changing shape when compressed to make the seal. They go from round cross section to a square (nearly) cross section. Even that oval section is a bit on the limit.
saw a product like this years back. never seemed to take off. never seems to be cost effective to install. might as well just bite the bullet and go with under floor with the costs of the product i saw before. since there was little difference in the price
Are you going to show how to install this into a real house with the real problems when putting in a new system? As the demo there has a nice setup, what about having radiator under your window not like in the demo in the perfect spot ?
Agreed. Only being able to cover a gap of 10mm might not be enough for some older houses or where the plastering job is poor. They should perhaps look at producing a wider gasket for properties where the plastering or walls is more uneven.
A lot of work gone into that system, i think i would need to see a proper installation first though, ok for a new build, but a major upheaval to convert from conventional system?
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.
We've got a fairly chilly living room - how about adding these to supplement the radiators rather than replacing them? Seems like it could help, but wonder how it would impact the overall flow rates
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.
Seems like a bad design. You have direct contact with the wall, turning it intro thermal bridging. This might be a good option for interior walls, but thermal bridging with your radiator on an exterior wall is just a no-go.
No. Microbore is not tthe problem. Surface area is. I have a mixed system in my house with some microbore, some 15mm and an extension witth underfloor heating. I wrks well wih my ground source heat pump. I looked ino skirting board stuff and rapidly concluded that the surface area was far too small.
We have a version of this in our (late 60’s or early 70’s) house in the living and dining rooms. A flow and return pipes with fins all along it. Nowhere near as good as the rooms with a normal rad in it. It’s a big no from me.
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. 🤔
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.
No, there's a reason it keeps getting back reviews. It's not a very large surface area to heat a room, doesn't use nearly as much convection and is very easily dented and damaged and a nightmare to repair. Interesting concept, but not a good idea. Things like underfloor heating are more efficient and not dissimilar in price.
“Skirtings leaking again Babe”……..What a medium term onwards nightmare. Whole house reliant on masses of O rings. Good luck with that 20 years plus down the line.
Interesting concept. But at this point, just do underfloor heating already😂 or stick with normal rads. Can be run with lower temps for sure. Power output of this , I don't imagine it's anything special
It almost certainly does what it says it will do, but you are not going to replace a 1000w radiator with 500w output from ThermaSkirt and be happy with the result.
Did I say anything about replacing a 1kw rad with something that has half the output? Thermaskirt we're given dimensions of the room and they supplied a kit to suit, except it didn't.
@ I didn’t mean to suggest that you had done anything wrong. I was just pointing out that generally you can’t replace a large emitter with a small one and expect to get the same results.
Think this is just a fad Idea. Better solution already exists and is well established on the market. Under floor heating. If you are already investing to remove your radiators and have money to spend, get Underfloor heating and at the same time you will insulate your floor and put some nice hard floor that will last for a very long time
Give me a hammer, I'll make it oval. But I won't promise it won't leak. Really this is not new. Circle or oval, the same amount of hot steam and water they are using.
Its king of a cool idea, not sure its for me. I only have my heating on a bit in the morning to take the chill off so i want a big f***k off rad to heat up quick. And if it gets cold nothing beats wood heat, nothing.
It's great that we have a choice of emitters so that we can select what suits us best. I think the Thermaskirt system could be very good in certain situations, e.g. long, narrow hallways. It's certainly discrete.
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.
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 🤷

Thanks for bringing that to the front. Very interesting.

This looks like yet another expensive way to learn a valuable lesson!
so salty...
Absoluttely. Small suface area = high flow temperature = poor heat pump performance.
Betteridge's Law of Headlines: "any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”
in my Victorian town house theres no such thing as a 90 degree corner
edit.. ah he did say that they do a flexible corner kit.
but even then, it still might not fit the corner of your building lol
This is a thought in a right direction, now we need skirting that goes over standard 15mm pipes
Nothing like enough surface area.
I'll stick with a radiator cheap, tried and tested
Seen it a few times. Expansion noises was ridiculous. Maybe it wasn’t fitted correctly but if as clicking like crazy
This looks like a very good product

I imagine because a triangle cross section would cause a higher pressure loss and wouldn’t necessarily mean more surface area at the front rather than wall since only 1/3 is against the skirting face
This would require triangle shaped O rings. Possible?
It's to do with water pressure and compatibility with pipes.
@@robertpowell7672No. O rings rely on changing shape when compressed to make the seal. They go from round cross section to a square (nearly) cross section. Even that oval section is a bit on the limit.

Maybe flow is less laminar and more noisy ...? I think flow through square pipes causes a lot more friction and therefore noise and pressure loss

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.
