Energy Efficient Electric
Our products are cleverly designed to look just like a traditional skirting board. By combining 2 elements in one, it will save you installed cost, valuable wall and floor space, improve the aesthetics of your room and reduce your energy bills.
Available in various styles and colours, Thermaskirt is the ideal solution for both new build and renovation projects.
- Lower upfront costs when building or renovating a home
Build quicker and with greater freedom
Little to no service or maintenance required
No heating pipework in the house
Responds quickly to heat demand
Simple upgrade to low carbon, renewable energy
Electrical heating is not always suitable for every building. However, it is a perfect solution for smaller, well-insulated buildings with low energy requirements – making it a great choice for new homes.
With more and more electrical energy being generated from renewable sources, it can also help to reduce the overall carbon impact of a building. Once electric heating is installed, as more and more of the grid ‘goes green’ swathes of houses can be automatically upgraded to low carbon heating, without any disturbance or modification.
How Does it Work?
How Does it Work?
These skirting panels are simply cut to size and installed using an insulating rear-mount fixing all around the room – why not ask about our factory cut and prepared option to speed installation?
ThermaSkirt-e skirting is then connected to a standard 220/240V supply which can simply be turned on and off when required by the thermostat control. This allows you complete and precise control to reduce your energy consumption and keep costs to a minimum.
Once the ThermaSkirt is switched on the face of the panel heats up and radiates heat into the room in the same way that underfloor heating does but as it’s all above-ground response times are much quicker and the room heats up in minutes rather than hours.

Space Saving
As ThermaSkirt provides the heating and skirting on one, it will free up your walls from space-stealing panel radiators and storage heaters. With usable space very often the most valuable element of a property, ThermaSkirt makes perfect sense.
- Frees up valuable wall and floor space
- Simple decorating with no radiator removal
- Optional cable management cover
- Reduces airborne dust & mites
Energy Efficient
As ThermaSkirt provides far infrared radiant heat, evenly distributed and from low level, you can save running costs compared to wall hung panel radiators or storage heaters.
ThermaSkirt has a unique power modulating control PCB that provides 50% of the normal full power on start up. This can help to reduce running costs when the room is hovering around the target temperature, as full power is only used when the room needs a significant boost in energy input.
- Up to 13% more efficient than radiators
- Responsive and controllable
- Only uses energy as and when heat is required
- All radiant heat emitted into the room
- Optimum performance with any floor covering
- LOT20 Energy Saving ECO Controls available
Fire Safety
Fire Safety
Unlike traditional panel heaters, ThermaSkirt has a unique heating element that does not overheat – even when covered over. This eliminates the need for a thermal fuse which can cause maintenance or repair issues, and more importantly, completely eliminates the risk of fire should combustible materials such as paper, clothes or bedding be placed over the heating.
With recent tragic events in high-rise residential towers, there is a significant interest in improving fire safety of electrical equipment such as fridge freezers, tumble dryers and electrical heaters. In this respect, ThermaSkirt is already ahead of the curve
- Unique, self-regulating heating element
- Will not overheat even if covered over
- Automatically resets with no risk of fusing or burnout
- 5-year warranty on the heating element
Cost Saving
Cost Saving
Combing the skirting and radiators in one, creates a very cost-effective, budget-conscious heating solution whether it be a new build or retrofit. Provided in a pre-finished, tough epoxy powder paint finish with a removable ‘top gasket’ (instead of requiring caulking), it is a rapid, dry installation that requires no curing time before floor coverings are laid and utilises a single trade to fit.
- Combines the skirting boards and heating in one
- Pre-finished with durable epoxy powder coat
- A simple fit usually only requiring one tradesman
- Can be provided pre-cut to exact room size
- Completely accessible & adaptable post install
Control Options
Control Options
ThermaSkirt works just like your radiators, meaning that it can be seamlessly integrated into your existing smart home thermostats and controls.
