BSRIA Approved Tests Prove ThermaSkirt ® to be More Efficient Than a Radiator

In an independent comparative test, undertaken by BSRIA, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CDF) of a room being heated with ThermaSkirt ® and the same room being heated with radiators, the following summary and conclusions were reached:

"The Thermal comfort temperature pictures show that model 3 (ThermaSkirt®) has the most uniform distribution and the most acceptable level amongst all situations".

Model No Min. ºC Max. ºC Mean Room
