The smart hidden heating solution that replaces radiators.
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.
Reclaim wall space in every room
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.

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.

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.

| Dust & Hygiene | Excellent. Radiates clean heat. Wipes clean with a cloth instantly. | Poor. Traps dust and pet hair inside deep metal fins. |
| Heating Speed (Responsiveness) | Good. Heats up in 10-15 minutes on a standard gas boiler circuit. | Good. Heats up in 10-15 minutes on a standard gas boiler circuit. |
| Decor & Aesthetics | Excellent. Mimics timber skirting profiles (Ogee, Torus, Minimalist). | Poor. Obtrusive metal box that stains the wall above it over time. |
