Heating a Whole House With Skirting Boards? We Went to See It

👇 ThermaSkirt H2O Water-Based Skirting Board Heating https://go.skill-builder.uk/thermaskirt ______________________ Skirting board heating: does it actually work on a real job? After the huge response to our first ThermaSkirt video at Installer Live, Roger heads out on site to see a complete whole-house installation in a 1920s property. Every room is heated by ThermaSkirt, running off a standard gas boiler at just 55°C flow temperature, with no radiators in sight. We follow the install step by step: the reflective foil and click-in brackets, cutting and deburring the aluminium profiles, the push-fit connectors (rated to 15 bar), the two-stage wet install and finishing fix, and the fully zoned Salus control system with a digital thermostat in every room. We also get answers to the big questions you asked last time, including the one everyone wants to know: with all those joints, does it leak? ______________________ Key Takeaways: • ThermaSkirt spreads heat over a large surface area, so it can run at the low flow temperatures (50 to 55°C) now expected for boilers and heat pumps • This 1920s house is delivering 24.5kW on a gas boiler at 55°C max flow, with a 20% margin built into every room's heat loss calculation • Installation is push fit with no hot works, straight cuts only, and audible clicks to confirm every connection, making it viable for a competent DIYer • The system bleeds like underfloor heating, not a radiator: purge it once and you're done, with drain and bleed points at the end of each run • Outputs are around 120W per metre on the shorter M2 profile and up to 180W per metre on the taller profile, and sections can be doubled into a six-pipe system for bigger loads • Matching MDF profiles, bespoke colours and flush floor threshold heaters mean the whole house gets a consistent finish • A retrofit kit lets you keep existing radiators and top up the output, which is proving popular on heat pump conversions ______________________ #ThermaSkirt #SkirtingBoardHeating #HeatPump ================================== 👇 SUPPORT SB - BECOME A MEMBER    / @skillbuilder   📪 JOIN OUR NEWSLETTER https://skill-builder.uk/signup 🛒 SEE OUR FAVOURITES ON AMAZON https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/skillbu... 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST https://blubrry.com/skillbuilder/subs... 🎬 OUR VIDEO LIBRARY https://www.youtube.com/@SkillBuilder... 🔗 SEE EVERYTHING SB ON LINKTREE https://linktr.ee/skillbuilder   / skillbuilderchannel     / skillbuilder     / skill_builder   (As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases) ================================== OUR FAVOURITE CHARITIES 👷 BAND OF BUILDERS https://bandofbuilders.org ⛯ THE LIGHTHOUSE CHARITY https://lighthousecharity.org 💧 CHARITY WATER https://www.charitywater.org
