Evening all, I’m looking to do a make over to our future home, I was thinking of UFH downstairs and rads upstairs. Then stumbled across skirting board heating, I realise it’s not a new thing in the world, but is to me, I’ve never fitted it or had experience with it. I wondered if you gents or ladies had installed it and any good results?
The boiler will be system and I’ll have an unvented for hot water, just in case this is relevant to your answers. Cheers
 
Ufh I would go with
 
Thought I would entertain the idea enough to get a quote, the chap said it was on a par with UFH, it came back £6400 plus VAT (rads only not even connecting up pipework) ... once I’d finished laughing it was a No from me!!
 
I fitted it in a large detached house. I had massive doubts about it and even warned the customer that it would only provide background heat. It was a bit fiddly to install and I swore a bit but it looked just like a skirting board when finished. The customer likes it and says that it works well and keeps the room nice and warm.

This is the stuff.
I am not 100% sure I believe it but there you go.



I have installed quite a few of the other more commercially seen type over the years - the ones with the fins inside a metal box - and they do work well but are ugly.
