2 Why should I choose ThermaSkirt Why should I choose ThermaSkirt? Until very recently there have only been 2 principal forms of room heating radiators and under floor heating. Radiators have dominated the market as they are simple, responsive and inexpensive, but more recently under floor heating (UFH) has become the desired choice of the home owner. Why? Because most of us would prefer not to have ugly lumps of metal on the wall, and the heat distribution of UFH makes our rooms feel more comfortable. However, under floor has been proven to be less effective in timber construction and under certain materials such as laminate and carpet. UFHs slow response means that it has to be on when it should be off in order to respond in a reasonable time. So how can you combine the responsiveness and simplicity of radiator, with the comfort and space saving of under floor heating? How can you improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint not just of new build developments, but of the millions of existing properties already built? Simple. ThermaSkirt. How Does ThermaSkirt Work ThermaSkirt is a high tech alloy polymer extrusion that replaces the skirting boards and radiators in one. This distributes the heat quickly and evenly all around the room, at low level just like under floor heating. In addition it frees up your wall space to maximise your usable living area. ThermaSkirt can make the room feel comfortable at lower operating temperatures. This can save up to 25% on your annual heating costs and significantly reduce your carbon footprint. ThermaSkirt is able to respond in minutes, whatever your floor construction or finish, and being able to control the heating so quickly enables you to use just enough energy, only when you need it. This can also help reduce your fuel bills. The larger surface area afforded by ThermaSkirt enables renewables such as solar panels or heat pump system to be used. As it is fitted above ground it can be installed in many more existing buildings - something that would be impossible without the upheaval required of fitting UFH. Contents 2. Why ThermaSkirt? 6.

3 How does ThermaSkirt work? Cuts with everyday hand or power toolsno special equipment required. Mitre free corners. Simply cut to approximate length - the corner connectors and covers do the rest. Up to 6M long sections. Most walls done in a single length. Durable colour-coded covers hide all cuts and joints. Unique dual flow oval construction allows simple connection to one end and even heat all along it s length. Highly efficient aluminium composite extrusion gives up to 700btu s per metre length. Colour matched internal corner covers available in 90, 135 and other angles to order. Ready painted in tough, stain resistant epoxy powder coating. Choice of colours and finishes. Standard external corners in 90, 225 (and any other angle to order). What other benefits does ThermaSkirt have? Aesthetics Because ThermaSkirt is beautifully made in a choice of profiles and colours, you ll be delighted at how it looks as a skirting. ThermaSkirt is also supplied with a removable top caulking gasket and bottom cover trim. The colour co-ordinated caulking gasket enables you to remove it for painting and decorating, and replace for a perfect neat finish. The matching bottom cover strip enables speaker & data cables etc to be hidden, and can be trimmed to accommodate uneven floors just like timber skirting. Safety ThermaSkirt can protect precious persons against injury as it hides all pipework and exposed valves and has no sharp edges. Falls onto radiators account for over 94% of injuries caused by them (Source: 2001 HaSS & LaSS Statistics). Its lower operating temperature can also eliminate scalds and burns, which whilst only accounting for less than 1% of radiator related injuries, is a concern for parents. Low temperature systems are available for particularly vulnerable persons. Trimmable - to cater for laminate and carpet Removable 'caulking' strip. Simple to paint to and neat and hassle free re-decorating Removable cover trim. Ideal for routing speaker and data cables, TV and telephone wires, safely and simply Radiator edges, valves and pipework are a potential hazard Speed & Reliability ThermaSkirt uses patented unique plastic push fit connectors to speed installation and to keep total costs down push fit is something the whole plumbing world has now adopted. Like the aluminium Skirting itself, these are warranted against defect for a full 10 years. The unique ColourMatch TM covers and corner pieces are made from Ultra stable upvc that wont fade or discolour and wont make a noise during operation as the skirting expands and contracts, sliding silently beneath them. In addition the covers are coloured right through making them resilient to knocks and chips. clean and green! 3

4 ThermaSkirt Vs Radiators -1 C ON Why is ThermaSkirt Better Than a Radiator? Because ThermaSkirt heats the room from all directions at low level, you don t get drafts or hot spots created by the convection (movement of air) that radiators need to heat the room. Heat rises and then cools meaning that radiators heat the ceiling first before you often requiring radiators to be up to 30% bigger than the room requires to compensate. Room Temp Room Sensor 1 - at 2M Room Sensor 2 - at 1.8M Room sensor 3 - at 1.2M Room Sensor 4 - at 600mm Room Sensor 5 - at 300mm Room Sensor 6 - at 100mm External ambient temp 9 21 C -1 C ON 1 21 C Heat rises straight to the ceiling... Dust, marks and staining... then cools as it falls to the floor 70 C Heat creates hot spots on the ceiling and cold draughts as it cools Renewable Energy Sources and Over-sized Radiators To compensate for the lower flow temperatures of renewable sources such as solar and heat pumps, over-sized radiators are often specified. Apart from the fact that these may be up to 100% bigger and thus even more of an eyesore, this still does not solve the problems of heat distribution. At low temperatures conventional radiators micro-climate that is the heat is confined to a small area near the radiator, as it does not have the thermal energy to circulate the air as they would do at normal boiler temperatures. ThermaSkirt works perfectly well at low temperatures and heat distribution and thermal comfort levels are indistinguishable from Under Floor heating. Up to 100% bigger ThermaSkirt can often heat a room from cold to comfortable in minutes, because of its unique heat distribution pattern. As well as a better radiating material, ThermaSkirt s aluminium alloy has better corrosion resistance than steel - especially as there is no air trapped in the system. HOT COOL Low temperature radiators microclimate and don t distribute the heat energy Time 60 mins Conventional radiator in operation Heats up quickly but with erratic heat distribution Tests Prove ThermaSkirt to be More 7 Efficient Than a Radiator 6 In an independent comparative test, undertaken by BSRIA, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of a room being heated with ThermaSkirt and the same room being heated with radiators, ThermaSkirt was proven to be the most efficient form of heating, giving the best uniform heat distribution, with only a ±1.3 C variation, compared to a radiator with a massive 13 C variation. This equates to at least a 13% improvement in energy efficiency. Hot spots and cold spots created by radiator convection currents cause heating systems to run less efficiently, and home owners to turn up the thermostat to compensate. Model No Min. C Max.

The performance of UFH is severely compromised when carpets or timber flooring are used, and when a timber sub floor is the method of construction, the practicality and reliability of under floor pipe work is rarely appropriate or recommended. Requires considerable control equipment In addition, the naturally slow response times of UFH caused by its thermal mass, means that it has to be run continuously (sometimes misleadingly referred to as knock back mode) in order for it to have a chance of responding to a sudden drop in temperature. Even complicated control systems and weather compensation sensors cannot overcome this inherent flaw. Control Systems ThermaSkirt needs no special control systems (although it can be controlled by actuated manifold and room sensors if desired), and can be fitted into existing buildings with solid or timber sub floors and indeed is unaffected by any sort of final floor covering all your energy is used in the room, none is lost in the floor or covering. Response Times Responding in minutes, ThermaSkirt avoids the problems of under heating as well as overheating, allowing just enough energy to be used only when it s needed. None of your energy is wasted heating the property at times when its unoccupied, or when the weather is warm outside. 0-1 Simple Installation! ThermaSkirt doesn t need specially prepared floors to install and can be fitted even in timber constructed homes! Plus - ALL the heat from the ThermaSkirt goes straight into the room.

6 Fitted Furniture Plinth Heating Kitchens and Bedrooms can still use ThermaSkirt Using ThermaSkirt Plinth Heaters means you can now have units all round the room in the kitchen, bedroom or any room with fitted furniture. The plinth heating panels are easily fixed into place onto the existing plinths if required. The Urban LT 150mm (6 ) and Deco PR 125mm (5 ) are most suitable for this application. Insulation may be fitted between brackets to maximise the heat into the kitchen or bedroom. DiscreteHeat bring you the solution to heating your kitchen and bedroom without having to use unsightly radiators on the wall. Heating the kitchen with a radiator has always meant fewer kitchen units - until now! Silver Birch LT in contemporary kitchen Golden Oak LT in designer bedroom Even large fitted wardrobes can accommodate ThermaSkirt, meaning you don t have to sacrifice the warmth or design of your room.

7 Eco Friendly Renewable Energy Sources ThermaSkirt will work with Eco Friendly & Renewable Energy Sources. Renewable energy sources such as ground & air source heat pumps and solar thermal heating systems require compatible emitters to maximise efficiency and to warm up quickly from cold. Until recently the only way to achieve the required surface area of the heating emitters to warm the room at lower flow temperatures was either to fit under floor pipes or to specify over size radiators. In many cases neither of these were an ideal solution, especially in existing buildings or timber construction. (see pages 4 and 5). ThermaSkirt however provides a very practical and responsive solution for both new and retro fitting applications. The greater surface area of the 200mm (8 ) Regency OG makes it particularly suitable for use at lower operating temperatures, even in larger rooms and refurbishment projects. The 150mm (6 ) Urban LT may be used in living spaces subject to heat loss calculations, but often is more than adequate for bathrooms, bedrooms, lofts and other 1st floor areas. In addition, ThermaSkirt may be combined with either oversized radiators or UFH if a mixed system is preferred due to budget restrictions or hard tiled surfaces in certain rooms. Improving Gas Condensing Boiler Performance Modern construction is especially suited to renewable energy sources, but ThermaSkirt may also allow conventional condensing boilers to run at lower operating temperatures, enabling older and refurbished properties to improve their energy efficiency. The installation of a condensing gas boiler with variable flow temperature (VT boiler) in conjunction with weather compensation would allow operating efficiencies to improve by 18~25% compared to conventional heating technologies. A lower flow temperature can ensure the boiler is permanently in condensing mode, something that cannot be guaranteed with conventional radiators as they require higher flow temperatures to ensure adequate air movement and thus heat distribution. SIPPS Construction using a Nibe Heat Pump with URBAN LT Economy and the Environment If you can turn your thermostat down by 1 C, you could save up to 10% of your annual heating bills. Doesn t it make sense with today s high fuel costs and worries about global warming to consider the very best and latest technology? If your room is warmed evenly all around and quickly from cold, you can have just enough heat when and where you want it. With ThermaSkirt you CAN turn the thermostat down and still feel warm and comfortable. Its payback time in terms of energy saving, space saving and labour saving can be measured in weeks, not years. BRE (Building Reserch Establishment Ltd) has investigated the potential energy savings from low circulation temperature heating systems, for which ThermaSkirt could be installed. Preliminary results indicate that boiler efficiency improvements of 2% could be achieved if heat emitters are increased in size by 100% relative to traditional installation practice.

8 Will it work for me.....? How it works in your home - virtually every situation catered for! Use an architrave kit for solid floors, where disturbing the floor is impractical. This continues the flow around the door in matching LT or OG profile architrave. ThermaSkirt is an ideal heating solution for your loft conversion. Space is always at a premium so there s very little room for conventional radiators. ThermaSkirt fits discretely around the perimeter of the room, leaving all the usable space to plan your room. Flexible connector kits and specially made corner covers in 135 and other angles can accommodate bay windows or badly aligned walls. Wardrobe and kitchen skirting means you don t have to sacrifice the warmth or design of your room. Using ThermaSkirt plinth heaters means more k i t c h e n / b e d r o o m units and no unsightly radiators! If your room has a chimney breast you can end the skirting adjacent to the chimney opening and bury your feed and return pipes under the floor, carrying on the run of the ThermaSkirt at the other side of the chimney. An MDF version is available to match the ThermaSkirt in unheated areas around the rest of the house. Industry standard connecting feed and return pipes can come from down, up or through the wall and be hidden by the covers. Exposed pipes or obvious boxing in is avoided. If this is your starting point ensure the feed and return pipes come in at the correct height. This is where your TRV (thermostatic radiator valve) could be located.... the Simplicity of a Radiator... the Comfort of Underfloor Heating 8 Efficient... quiet...

9 ..... of course it will! ThermaSkirt can also be controlled by wall mounted digital thermostats, instead of a TRV. These control the flow using an actuated valve or manifold. ThermaSkirt comes in lengths of up to 6 metres (19 8 ) which means most walls can be done using a single length. In-line jointing kits enable virtually any length wall to be ThermaSkirted. Fancy a towel radiator? No problem! T h e r m a S k i r t integrates simply with any new or existing heating system, so you can pick and choose what you want, where you want. Existing radiators need replacing? Bi-directional TRV units allow flow and return in both directions around the room utilising existing pipework. For additional heating, Deco PR profile can be laid flat at patio doors and across door thresholds. Heating a conservatory? Forget about free standing heaters or obtrusive radiators. ThermaSkirt is the ideal solution, leaving every wall free to arrange your furniture. Standard corner kits in 90 external or internal, enable the whole room to be quickly installed with ThermaSkirt. At an archway (or doorway), run your feed and return pipes under the floor using a ThermaSkirt threshold kit. If the remainder of the wall is only a short length, consider fitting a dry length of skirting. This will finish the look of the room but will not detract from the overall ThermaSkirt heating potential.... the Discreetness of Skirting clean and green! 9

16 What our customers say... We chose ThermaSkirt for our house because it was so stylish, unobtrusive and works perfectly with our ground source heat pump. It heats every room to a nice comfortable temperature and the customer service was absolutely first class! Tim & Zoe Bawtree, Channel 4 s Grand Designs, The Cheltenham House. Grand Designs We bought a 30 s standard build house to which we added a lower ground extension. After research we came across the Thermaskirt product which seemed to provide an excellent solution.we fitted out the main bedrooms and study with the Thermaskirt product. The installation was relatively easy and within the capabilities of a skilled amateur to fit. All in all a very efficient product, and a very satisfactory result. Richard Chan & Isabelle Penao, Channel 4 s Property Ladder, North Lodge. We considered electric underfloor (heating) for our new conservatory, but couldn t get a guarantee as to how well it work. ThermaSkirt told us what it would do and how, and a friend of ours fitted it. We ve used our conservatory virtually every day since October, and it s been fantastic! Mr. & Mrs. James, Knutsford. Property Ladder We had just fitted underfloor (heating) & radiators in our refurbished farmhouse, when we saw ThermaSkirt at an exhibition. We were impressed and fitted it in our annex building & to be honest wished we d seen it sooner. We prefer it to anything. Mr. & Mrs. Berry, Chorley. I ve been in the building game myself for 30 years, and it s the best thing since sliced bread. My plumber said it wouldn t work, but believe me, it does. It s brilliant Mick Lever, Self Build.
