Skirting board heating purports to save energy for the home owner, by minimising the effort utilized by a boiler or heat source to achieve maximum temperature for a heating system. While Glock Accessories is broadly true, the claim must be examined in greater detail to find out just how much energy the system can save.
The skirting board system was created with slender flow and return pipes, which require less water to fill and so less power to heat. The claim that a skirting heating system demands less of the boiler or heat source is therefore true.
However, the length or quantity of active heating in this technique may be higher than the combined heated area of a normal radiator system. So as the boiler or heat source is technically worked less hard to attain the desired temperature, it may work for longer to push heat out to a greater overall area.
This upsurge in directly heated area is probably the big selling points for a skirting board radiator system. By heating more parts of a room directly (that is, with heat emanating from the proximate source instead of dissipating from a hot radiator at the other end of the room), the skirting system is potentially with the capacity of delivering a more even room heat and working at less temperature than its radiator-based equivalent.
Needless to say the heated skirting system is effectively a radiator system too - just in miniature. So rather than concentrating all the heating power into one solid unit, that is required to kick that heat through the whole cubic area of the space it is supposed to heat, the skirting board version spreads it out.
