Skirting Radiators

then again, spam of any other color is still spam

Maybe so, but then again I'm old enough to remember Victor Kiam! :)

Verrry eenteresting: a spammer who actually hangs around the scene of his crime, and even responds to complaints. But still a spammer.

And its not more energy efficent than radiators, since it wont hold heat, it releases it quickly, as you say. its less efficent since your boiler will have to cycle more often. My radiators are warm for hours after the boiler is off. More cycling is harder on boiler controls, since the first few minutes you turn on a boiler is its least efficent mode it will cost you more. Try harder on your spam, bs is easy to see through

The difference though, is that Kiam PAID for his advertising and used legitimate media. He did not spam non-commercial discussion groups. He was an honest businessman, you are a leach looking for a free ride.

Comparison was made between a double panel convector radiator from a market leading manufacturer, and 15m of ThermaSkirt installed around the perimeter at skirting level.

Each system was supplied with 800w of energy, in accordance with the heat loss calculations of BS5449. The room target temperature was 21=B0C with an outside temperature of -1=B0C.

ThermaSkirt=AE achieved a higher average comfort temperature, evenly distributed throughout the room (20.2=B0C vs 18.2=B0C). This equates to a

In addition, total temperature variation throughout the room with ThermaSkirt=AE, was 2=B0C or less. With the panel radiator variations of up to 13=B0C were recorded.

Since yr a spammer and should not be here this is what I see, Your tests and statements are bs, your system is wastes energy in several ways. Its set as a baseboard against a wall, a wall that is absorbing and transfering to the outside, nearly 50% of its heat output, you say its heats quicker, and it cools quicker. I would bet that system by being attatched to an exterior wall could easlily cost you 25% more to heat a home vs free standing radiators. To make it closely the same as free standing units the wall area where the radiator is attatched would need a radiant barrler and alot of special insulaton to keep from loosing heat to the outside.

What the hell is different about that? We've had baseboard (skirting board) radiant heating in the US for many decades.

Go sell your SPAM somewhere else.
