Energy-efficient Skirting Heating Efficient heat delivery – 100% Highly responsive – 1.0 Even heat distribution Unobtrusive Retrofittable Works with gas, oil, heat pumps (or just electricity) www.skirting-heating.com

“Like the gentle warmth of the sun” Great feeling of comfort at low average temperature No hot or cold spots Heats from the lowest point upwards Doesn’t deplete oxygen in the room No “hot foot” syndrome www.skirting-heating.com

Quick and Efficient Control Rapid warm up only .266 litres/metre of water doesn’t need to heat the floor slab It’s its own heat distribution system no pipes to hide heats the room, not the ceiling www.skirting-heating.com

Easily retro-fitted Uses standard 15mm components Fit to radiator provisions Surface mount where no provisions No need to replace floor Electrical resistance version needs no boiler www.skirting-heating.com

The Coanda Effect - Columbia Encyclopedia Named after its discover, Romanian aerodynamicist Henri-Marie Coanda (1885-1972) “Coanda effect or wall-attachment effect, the tendency of a moving fluid, either liquid or gas, to attach itself to a surface and flow along it. As a fluid moves across a surface a certain amount of friction (called “skin friction”) occurs between the fluid and the surface, which tends to slow the moving fluid. This resistance to the flow of the fluid pulls the fluid towards the surface, causing it stick to the surface.” - Columbia Encyclopedia www.skirting-heating.com

The Coanda Effect - applied Fit skirting to exterior walls Warms and dries the wall Forms insulating layer Heat radiates from the walls Warmed air circulates Works well even on badly insulated walls! www.skirting-heating.com

How does it compare to radiators? www.skirting-heating.com

How does it compare to UFH? Quicker response No slab to warm up (or cool down!) Much less water to warm More even temperature distribution Can use with real wood floors No problems with carpet underlay Easily retrofitted Easier to install, repair or modify www.skirting-heating.com

How does it compare to other skirting systems? Highest output in a compact system, about twice the power of Thermaskirt (ΔT=50K of 229.25W/metre) Needs less Runs more efficiently Uses standard 15mm copper piping Water only ever in contact with copper A standard plumbing solution for every situation Aluminium fins warm the air internally Lower surface temperature - <43oC at 80oC Flow Flexible mounting of components Less noise www.skirting-heating.com

Cut-away Section Shows pipes, fins, backplate, top profile, mounting clips and front panel www.skirting-heating.com

Connecting sections Use standard solder, push-fit, compression or press-fit connectors (must be less than 23 mm OD) e.g. Cuprofit (details) www.skirting-heating.com

Connecting at corners Use 2 x elbow 03-1005 with appropriate connectors www.skirting-heating.com

Connecting flow to return Use “U” connector 03-1000 with choice of solder, push-fit, compression or press-fit connectors www.skirting-heating.com

Neater Corners Use 01-1014 for internal or 01-1015 for external corners www.skirting-heating.com

Ending runs Use ready-made RH and LH end pieces www.skirting-heating.com

Electrical Inserts 200 W/meter Use where wet systems are just not possible www.skirting-heating.com

Other colours available RAL colours Special Colours Wood Effect www.skirting-heating.com

How much will I need? Method 1 What room volume? What insulation standard? What heating method? What water temperature? Minimum local temperature? Estimate with Excel Calculator (Available on request) www.skirting-heating.com

How much will I need? Method 2 Assume approx 20cms per M3 Typically about 2 walls out of four (for very large rooms, use method 1) Apply wherever possible to exterior walls 2 walls on corner rooms Minimum 1 on others For aesthetics use empty Climaboard® for the remaining wall space www.skirting-heating.com
