[Roger Mills]

SWMBO has always disliked conventional radiators and fancies something less
obtrusive when we next refurbish the lounge. I don't fancy digging up the
floor, and wondered about skirting board heaters.

The only ones I've actually seen so far consist of finned pipes inside a box
with air circulation grills - and the cross-section is a *lot* bigger
ordinary skirting board in both dimensions.

But I've just come across something called ThermaSkirt [1] - which appears
to be an alloy section not much bigger than ordinary skirting board (150 x
20) with a flow and return pipe built in along its length - with bits for
joining sections together and going round concave and convex corners, etc.
It claims to be easy to install and to have a heat output of 150 watts/metre
at a DeltaT of 50 degC. [On that basis it would need to go virtually all the
way round the room - but would be do-able.]

Have any of you come across it or - better still - used it? Is it easy to
install, and does it do what it says on the tin?

I don't think so, he appears to be a regular (and genuine) poster.

And your relationship to this company is what, precisely? Legislation
recently enacted by Parliament makes such false testimonials a crime.

Personally, I think these skirting board heaters are an excellent way
to heat up a wall, and they must waste considerable amounts of energy
in doing so. Calling them "An Eco Revolution in Home Heating" is one
of the most cynical misrepresentations I have ever seen.

Please point out Roger's 'testimonials' - all I can see are questions, the
main one, rather than being a 'testimonial', is quite the opposite whereby
he questions the validity of the manufacterers' claims, namely, 'does it do
what it says on the tin?'

It may be SPAM but it wasn't a testimonial, false or otherwise, he made no
claims as to the worth of the product at all, merely asked if anyone else
would comment (and referenced a website). I only saw it once . Could be SPAM
could be not. Plenty of crooks about further up the scale than this!!

Which planet do you live on? I have certainly *not* posted before on this
subject and I am *not* advocating this product but simply asking whether
anyone has any experience of it. The link was provided simply to identify
what I was talking about.

Your apology is awaited!

I am struggling to understand just what is happening to this NG. I ask a
simple genuine question and get accused by two people of posting spam or
uttering a false testimonial. As others have pointed out, I was NOT
promoting this product - but simply asking whether it was any good.

I had not heard of this company until earlier today when I Googled for
"skirting radiator".

Please look at a person's posting record before making such accusations in
future!

Thankyou! At least *someone* seems to have understood the question.

Now for some answers . . .

If you are genuine I apologies.

However when almost the same words are used in two postings asking the same
question about a product I suspect SPAM.

If you had googled it you should have found the original thread too.

Thanks - I accept your apology. I also accept that maybe I should have
Googled before posting - but I do scan all the messages in this NG and
didn't recall seeing a recent post on the same subject. I must have missed
it.

Never should have changed that nik Rog, you're just another newb now ;-)

Pete's already linked to the old thread but my concerns were cost, the
reliance on installation quality (rear insulation & draught proofing to
avoid heat loss and quality of corner construction) and maintainability
(proprietary oval, O-ring sealed fittings).

Despite the limitations of rads, I reckon I can do a more effective job
with them and still remain inobtrusive.
