Easy. ThermaSkirt® takes up no wall space so you can maximize your living area by putting furniture where YOU want it. (How many times have you seen a radiator under a window, just to save wall space. Great! Close the curtains and heat the street!)
Also, because ThermaSkirt® heats the room from all directions at low level, you don’t get drafts or hot spots such as on the ceiling – radiators heat by convection (air movement) more than by radiation. The heat goes straight up, then along the ceiling and then falls. Great if you’re 10 foot tall, but not much use to your average home owner.
Ugly radiators? Think a cover will solve it? Think again!
No manufacturer suggests radiator covers are a good idea as they “severely restrict performance and create problems with thermostatic valve controls”. You will be proud of how ThermaSkirt® looks, even though no-one would ever guess how your home is so wonderfully cosy and inviting.
WHY IS THERMASKIRT® BETTER THAN UNDER FLOOR HEATING (UFH)?
Ask a plumber! There’s no doubt that UFH gives a nice even heat, and feels great under a tiled floor in bare feet - but we don’t all live in Spanish Villas! Throw down a nice carpet, some hard wearing laminate or even a good rug, and wumph! You might as well put a jumper on instead. Also as many of us have busy lives, we don’t want the heating on when we’re out just so it’s nice when we come in. We want a system that reacts in minutes after arriving home. Who wants to wait an age to feel comfy, especially with our fickle climate?
Finally, ask your plumber how easy it is to install (cue sucking of teeth & rubbing of chin) and if he’s ever had to repair, extend or adapt one.
UFH requires detail engineered design, and significant experience to install, or put right. It also requires considerable control equipment to function properly. ThermaSkirt® heats a room just like UFH – from all over and at low level. Warm feet, comfortable body and a cool head, for a fraction of the cost in a tenth of the time and without a degree in mechanical engineering.
