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.
