Why choose ThermaSkirt as your new heating system?
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.

How ThermaSkirt compares with both traditional radiators and wet underfloor heating, so you can weigh all three at a glance.
| Feature | ThermaSkirt | Radiators | Underfloor Heating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall & floor space | Frees 100% of wall space, no floor build-up. | Blocks wall space and dictates furniture layout. | Frees walls but adds floor height and disruption. |
| Installation disruption | Minimal. Fits like a skirting board in 1-2 days. | Moderate. Wall fixings and pipe drops per unit. | Very high. Lift floors, pour screed, raise levels. |
| Response time | Fast. Warm in 10-15 minutes, room by room. | Fast. Warm in 10-15 minutes. | Slow. 1-3 hours to heat the floor slab. |
| Heat pump efficiency (35-45°C) | Excellent. Full output at low flow temperatures. | Poor. Needs oversized double/triple panels. | Excellent, but only viable in a new build or deep retrofit. |
| Retrofit cost | Low to medium. Uses existing pipework. | Low upfront, high impact on the room. | Very high. Floor removal, screed, doors. |
