Why ThermaSkirt?

The smart alternative to radiators, storage heaters & underfloor heating.

Reclaim every wall

At just 20mm thick, it projects less than traditional timber skirting. Place your furniture anywhere without blocking the heat source.

Even heat distribution

Creates a thermal envelope around the perimeter. BSRIA testing shows less than 1°C variance across the room, identical to underfloor heating.

Works with heat pumps

Designed for low flow temperatures (35–45°C). Avoids the need for massive, oversized radiators while improving heat pump efficiency.

Silent operation

No expansion clicks, ticking, banging or gurgling. Genuinely silent operation for undisturbed sleep in bedrooms.

Space

Reclaim wall space in every room

10m²

space saved in a typical home

With nothing protruding from the walls, your furniture can go anywhere. ThermaSkirt sits just 20mm proud of the wall, less than a standard timber skirting board.

Comfort

The comfort of underfloor heating, with the response of a radiator

<1°C

temperature variance across the room

Heat radiates evenly around the perimeter, eliminating hot and cold spots. Independent BSRIA testing measured less than 1°C variance edge to edge, with the warm-up speed of a radiator.

Efficiency

Designed to optimise heating performance

45°C

low flow temperature, ideal for heat pumps

Engineered to deliver full warmth at the lower flow temperatures heat pumps run at, where ordinary radiators struggle. Lower running costs today, future-ready warmth tomorrow.
