ThermaSkirt H₂O is an energy efficient infrared radiant heating system, cleverly designed to look just like a traditional skirting board. By combining 2 elements in one, it will save you installed cost, valuable wall and floor space, improve the aesthetics of your room and reduce your energy bills. Available in various styles and colours, ThermaSkirt is the ideal heating solution for both new build and renovation projects.
ThermaSkirt is manufactured using a highly conductive alluminium alloy that radiates heat up to 5 times more effectively than steel.
Radiant heat, emitted low down and all-around creates that wonderful warm environment often associated with underfloor heating, but being above ground, ThermaSkirt responds in minutes and works with any floor construction or covering. Connecting onto any typical central heating system, boiler or heat pump ThermaSkirt carries all necessary testing and safety certificates.

Save Space
ThermaSkirt not only creates more usable, versatile living space by freeing your wall of radiators, it also improves the aesthetics of your home. With no radiators to obstruct your walls, redecorating becomes simpler and as ThermaSkirt creates no dust or discolouration, your décor lasts longer as well.

PERFORMANCE VS FLOW RATE
Output in Watts/m (or BTU/ft) is only slightly affected over a wide range of flow rates. Our typical test data is based on 56g/sec in accordance with the BSRIA test BS EN 442-1. Output data is given here for flow rates between 10g/sec & 112g/sec which covers the lower and upper ranges of suitable performance for central heating systems.
Cost Saving
Combing the skirting and radiators in one, creates a very cost effective, budget conscious heating solution whether it be new build or retrofit. Provided in a pre-finished, tough epoxy powder paint finish with a removable ‘top gasket’ (instead of requiring caulking), it is a rapid, dry installation that requires no curing time before floor coverings are laid and utilises a single trade to fit.
Combines the skirting boards and heating in one
Pre finished with epoxy powder coat paint
A dry fit usually only requiring one tradesman
Can be provided pre-cut to exact room size
Completely accessible & adaptable post install
Control Options
ThermaSkirt works just like your radiators, meaning that it can be seemlessly integrated into your existing smart home thermastats and controls.
Compatible with all major controls i.e Hive, Nest etc
