Wall Lengths

Which Walls

Simply add each wall in (Meters or feet) that you would like to be heated: remember – not every wall needs heating and matching MDF is available for hard-to-connect sections such as small sections between doors.
The System will calculate the approximate heat generated for your type of heat source and you can get an approximate figure of Watt/M2 (btu/ft2) as a guide.

Example: 4.56m or 15’ (NOT 456cm or 179”). Add fractions of feet in the nearest decimals; ie: 12.5’ (NOT 12’6”)

Matching MDF

If you add matching Matching MDF for non-heated sections, this will automatically be selected in your choice of heated profile. The matching MDF is provided in a primed finish only, requiring a top coat in the colour of choice of your skirting.

Cut to length

If you add the full length of each wall, you will automatically have some margin of error as all ThermaSkirt heated panels will need trimming to size to accommodate the feed and corner connections. Wall sizes may be added together and supplied in 4m & 6m (13’ & 19’) panels unless specified to save waste and minimise shipping costs. If you want a PRE-FACTORY CUT & prepared service, you will need to be accurate with your wall dimensions (±5mm / ¼”) and supply a drawing for pre-confirmation of the layout and final sizes.

Curved Walls?

Live in a lighthouse or converted water tower? ThermaSkirt can be curved and shaped to fit your walls, but we will need a template and further charges apply. Please contact us for more information.

Controls

Manual TRV

Mechanical control that operates like a standard radiator valve. No power is required and is ideal for when swapping out an existing radiator. Meets building control requirements. Provides a ‘comfort control’ but does not measure room temperature by °C/F

Pros:Simple retrofit/radiator replacement
Cons:Basic level of control, manually operated

Hard Wired Digital Thermostat

Requires a power connection and can be programmed for time and room temperature. WiFi enabled (requires additional hub for WiFi). More accurate than a manual TRV. Connects to a hidden 2 port valve or wired back to a manifold (like underfloor heating)

Pros:Accurate and can be operated from anywhere in the world (WiFi option).
Cons:Requires a mains connection. Additional cost compared to manual TRV

Wireless Digital Thermostat

As a wired thermostat except the Thermostat is battery operated and links wirelessly to a separate RF switch unit which has mains power. Ideal for retrofitting as it avoids chasing cables in the wall to provide a power connection.

Pros:As per a wired Thermostat but simpler installation
Cons:Additional cost compared to wired Thermostat

No Controls

This option would provide a simple connection to standard pipework (UK:15mm, EU:16mm & USA: ½”).
You would need to provide your own control valves and thermostats which can include Nest, Hive, EvoHome etc.

Pros:Simple low cost open source option
Cons:Need to source your own controls and valves

Direction of Connection

Left to Right

Pipework is located to the LEFT hand end of the system, and the ThermaSkirt heated panels travels to the right

Pipework is located to the RIGHT hand end of the system, and the ThermaSkirt heated panels travels to the left

Bi-Directional

Pipework is located to the in the MIDDLE of a wall, and the ThermaSkirt panels travels to the left and the right. (Most often used when replacing a radiator with immovable pipework)

Left To Right

Electrical connection & back box is located to the LEFT hand end of the system, and the ThermaSkirt panels travels to the right

Doorways & Obstructions

Threshold Kit

A way of by-passing obstructions such as doorways, fireplaces, archways etc. It provides a connection across a gap to connect 2 heated sections together.
Doorway/fireplace etc: Includes simple flat covers to fit flush either side of the obstruction to hide the pipe connections.
Patio Door/External door: Includes external corner covers to hide the pipework that enters into the reveal of the door before crossing under the gap.

Heated Threshold Kit

Heated Threshold Kit: A way of connecting 2 heated sections together using a heated profile fixed into/onto the floor. This is especially useful for glazed bi-fold and patio doors or floor to ceiling glass walls where high heat losses and cold spots can be expected.
