Each PDF holds the dimensioned cross-section, weight, water content and full heat-output table for that profile. ThermaSkirt H2O comes in two wet profiles, and ThermaSkirt-e in two matching electric profiles.

Heat output

How much heat does each profile give out?

Output is published per linear metre of skirting in a 20 °C room. The hotter the water, the more heat per metre, which is why a gas boiler squeezes more from the same length than a heat pump. The figures below are calculated to the EN 442-1 standard, the same method used to rate radiators.

Radiator equivalence

How much skirting replaces a radiator?

A typical 1200 × 600 double panel radiator puts out around 630 W. ThermaSkirt spreads that same heat around the perimeter of the room instead of stacking it on one wall.

At heat-pump flow temperatures that single radiator is equivalent to roughly 14 m of standard skirting or 10 m of the high-output profile, which is usually less than the wall run most rooms already have. It is also why ThermaSkirt avoids the oversized radiators a heat pump would otherwise need.
