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
