Our water-fed skirting board heaters are linked to the hot water supply using distribution systems, such as underfloor heating or a thermostat valve on the hot water system. Each individual heating strip contains a heating element (heating coil), which consists of two adjacent copper pipes that are warmed by the hot water flowing through. There is a heat-conducting sheet pressed on top which is also made from copper containing trapezoidal slats to ensure optimum heat conduction. A base panel and covering panel provide a consistent look.

Energy-com - Innovative skirting board heating
Skirting board heating, often called strip heaters or baseboard heating, is an especially innovative and energy-efficient way of heating. They are mounted to the indoor side of external walls just above the floor in the same way as conventional skirting boards, and form a link between floor and wall. They way in which skirting heaters function is simple: they heat the room using electricity or hot water by radiating heat up and over the walls. This radiant heat spreads throughout the room, instead of rising from the bottom to top and becoming stuck at ceiling level, as is the case with convection heating. The walls also absorb a portion of the radiant heat that is generated. This prevents them from cooling down and becoming prone to damp. Do you have mildew in your room due to damp and cold exterior walls? Black mould with spores flying through the air damaging your health? Not if you have skirting boards by Energy-com installed!
Skirting board heating: good for your health, the environment and your wallet
The heat generated by the baseboard heaters is distributed quickly and very evenly in the room and is transferred not only to the walls but also to furniture and other fixtures. A cosy and pleasant warmth is created without cold zones and with minimal air circulation. Since there is virtually no micro-dust formation, skirting board heating is popular with allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Another advantage: Due to the quick and even heating of the rooms, energy can be saved, which of course also has an effect on energy costs. A skirting board heater is therefore not only good for your health, but also beneficial for the environment and your wallet. Depending on the chosen version, the skirting heaters are operated either as electric baseboard heating or as a water-bearing model. While the water-leading-baseboard-heaters is connected to the water circuit and its rods are heated inside by the hot water flowing through, the electric baseboard-heater is simply connected to the mains. The use of this heating system is thus particularly sustainable and entirely in the spirit of environmental protection.
Planning, assembly & installation
The planning of the baseboard heating is usually done by an architect or a planner who comes to your house. New-builds and historic buildings alike can be equipped with this type of heating to save energy and space while respecting the surrounding decor. Any type of building – private, commercial or public use – is suitable since the boards can be tailored exactly to the existing structure and surroundings. The performance of skirting board heaters can be customized in line with the room size and installation can be carried out easily without any major expense or structural changes.
