Despite being one of the most powerful compact skirting heating systems on the market today with output over 200W/metre at 60oC, Climaboard skirting board heating systems are ideal where a low surface temperature is required for safety reasons.

Powerful enough to work with low energy systems such as heat pumps and solar tubes, the system can be used for quite large rooms without running out of wall space as can often happen with less efficient systems. The clever design ensures that all 15mm pipework, connectors and valves are safely concealed within the skirting profile so that the system when properly installed complies with NHS Estates Health Guidance Notes 1998 which stipulates that the surface temperature should be less than 43 degrees C with inlet water at 83 degrees C. Compliance with this requirement has been verified by independent tests carried out on behalf of the company Frog srl, official producer of Climaboard skirting board heating system.

As well as being safe to the touch, the Climaboard system is also highly efficient as the skirting distributes heat very evenly around a room, allowing it to be heated at approximately 30% lower input water temperature to achieve the same feeling of comfort as a comparable radiator system. An added advantage is the fact that it is only 140mm high – typically no more than 150mm above floor level – making it much less likely to be in contact with human skin.

To summarise the key benefits, when properly installed a typical Climaboard installation would be capable of being operated effectively and efficiently with low input water temperature, have no visible or accessible pipework and no accessible parts higher than 150mm above ground. Its power is such that it should be capable of use in most rooms in a typical care or nursing home without running out of wall space. Its compact size leaves more room for beds and furniture making better use of the space available.

Climaboard is available in the UK only through the official distributor Technology Marketing Management tel: 020 8144 9597 and its network of appointed stockists and installers listed on the web at www.skirting-heating.com
