DiscreteHeat UK, Thermaskirt Bewertungen 

From start to finish, everything went exactly as expected. The product arrived when it was supposed to, delivery was straightforward, and there were no issues at all with the materials supplied.

The installation instructions and accompanying videos are extremely helpful and make the whole process much easier than fitting traditional radiators. Since installation, the system has worked exactly as I expected it to and performs very well. I could not be happier with it.

One of the key reasons I chose this system is that it looks and acts like a skirting board. That was very important to me and it works extremely well in that respect. The finish is excellent and you genuinely would not know it was not a standard skirting board. Another major benefit for me is that I have got my wall space back. Not having radiators fixed to the walls makes a huge difference, as it allows furniture to be placed properly without a radiator dictating where things can or cannot go.

The first installation I completed was a six-metre length in my hallway. Previously there had been a small radiator there which never worked particularly well. Since installing ThermaSkirt, the heat output has been fantastic. It now heats not only the hallway and entrance to the house, but the warmth also rises up the stairs and onto the first-floor landing, which has made a noticeable difference.

My system is a wet system. I have not used the electric version yet, although I may consider it in the future when my kitchen is refurbished. That said, I may well stay with the wet system. In terms of running costs, it is still early days, so I cannot yet comment fully on the long-term economics, although I have not noticed any significant variation so far. Once I expand the system to the rest of the house, which I fully intend to do, I will be looking more closely at how the overall costs balance out.

In my opinion, it is no more expensive than fitting standard radiators and is a much easier process overall. The performance and appearance have exceeded my expectations. Even my cat, Larry, approves and regularly lies next to it to enjoy the warmth.

Based on my experience so far, it is an extremely good product and one I would happily recommend.

Had Thermaskirt fitted in the lounge and a bedroom in 2009, 16 years later it still looks as good as new and works well. Recently needed some advice and folks on technical support were very helpful.

Firstly, love the planning side of having skirting board heating. Chris was really helpful and we also had a telephone conversation so I could show him the layout of the rooms. I am having two zones with this heating. I love the look of this heating, so untradtional but perfect for me, totally aligns with how I want my home to look. Very Subtle having skirting board heating. Its being installed at the mo' and am very excited. Will be able to update you regarding the heating side once its up and running.. Happy days. A very satisfied customer.

Very happy with the product, gives a nice all round heat. The team were very helpful during the order process and providing guidance during installation.

I’m simply sharing the facts of my own experience and letting consumers make their own choices. And this isn’t a comment I made in the first year — I only wrote it after going through three years of issues.

Honestly, I don’t feel that I’m being unfair to you.

I paid a high price and used the installer trained and recommended by your company, yet I’ve experienced leakage problems for three years. I’ve also had to spend a significant amount on repairs, including fixing the flooring and ceiling.

Now you’re offering me a new skirt board, but I still need to pay for installation and deal with the whole issue again. I no longer trust your product. I don’t want to waste more money on repairs, not knowing where the next leak will happen next year. The problems just keep repeating.

I might as well install a radiator — at least I won’t have to worry about leaks.

Another thing consumers should consider is that skirt heating systems have many connection points, and the connection joints in your product are very fragile, which leads to a high risk of leakage.

This product is not trustworthy. I installed it three years ago using an installer trained and recommended by the company. Every year, I also added the inhibitor as instructed. However, leaks occurred every single year, appearing in different places and at different joints. This has caused damage to both my ceiling and flooring.

The manufacturer’s claim of a 10-year warranty is also unreliable—they always find excuses to avoid taking responsibility.

Thermaskirt, is so much better than traditional radiator and is a far better retro-fit option than underfloor heating. The installation details provided along with the videos available provide all the details needed to install the system correctly.

The team at Thermaskirt where extremely helpful an quickly resolved any issues encountered throughout the installation.

Anyone with average DIY skill should be able to complete the install, provided they are ok with push fit plumbing. The finished product looks great and best of all no more radiators or cold spots in the room.

I chose to bring the rooms online individually resulting in a hybrid Radiator and Thermaskirt combination for a short period, but the system coped with this perfectly. I would highly recommend this product.

I will also be using Thermaskirt in my house extension once this completes.

Excellent customer service. Installers were timely, polite and left everything clean & tidy.

Recently ordered a wet heated skirting system from Discrete Heat. The team were able to design a custom solution very quickly from a few basic details. The kit was dispatched very quickly (received within a couple of days). It was relatively straight forward to instal and there was alot of helpful documents and videos on the website to support. Finished article looks great and produces a decent amount for heat.

We have had ThermaSkirt H₂O for several years. It was installed easily and has worked great. It is great not having radiators taking up space. Customer service since installation has also been very good when infrequently required.

We were new to this concept, but thanks to a good friend we were introduce to a new way of heating your house.

For a small space I cannot recommend more this product. Getting rid of the radiators really makes a difference, and in our case, losing them suddenly make all the rooms more spacious.

The team is extremely efficient and helpful, and altho the system is flooded with at in the beginnin a confusing terminology, they are always happy to help. Special mention to Chris, who was extremely patient with us.

If you are considering this product, yes its great. Now that we have fully installed, I can advice two things. We are now regretting not going for the a little bit more expensive option for the top of the skirt options. The rubbery material (the cheapest option) isnt really very sexy.

Also a heads up, most of the houses in the UK havent been introduce to the term straight lines. And this can be a problem sometimes, as the floors are not alway quite straight. So if you are doing your floor, keep this in mind.

Regardles of this, excellent product, and you can install it yourself! (level medium-expert) in the handyman scale.

Just completing my second room , very good product easy to use that works. Great customer support.

We had the product installed in our house renovation 5 years ago. Discrete Heat technical support were very helpful and we have had no issues with the product. We're looking at it for our next renovation.

Great company to work with. Brilliant communication from start to finish. Always reply quickly to any queries especially Pete who dealt with us. Definitely recommend.

This is a new idea for most people including me. The service by discrete heat was excellent with plenty of checking and ensuring we had the right product. Delivery was earlier than originally stated which was a first and customer service was great throughout with friendly and sensible guidance and quick response times. The skirting looks great and frees up so much space. If you are doing a refurb then definitely consider this product.

Installed a BM2 skirting system to my lounge in 2017, it was easy to install and hasn't missed a beat since. Even though its over 20meters long the end still gets hot in no time and gives off a good amount of heat. Staff are always helpful and reply quickly with any questions etc

I feel compelled to share my deeply disappointing experience with Discrete Heat's heated skirting boards. I had them installed in two bedrooms and the living room, and from the outset, they’ve been nothing but problematic. They generate constant, irritating noise and, worse still, fail to adequately warm the rooms. Considering the cost and the promises made, it feels like a complete scam.

What’s more frustrating is the company's indifferent customer service. When I raised my concerns about the product's inefficacy, they were dismissive, offering nothing but excuses instead of solutions.

Save your money and avoid this ineffective product. Stick with your traditional radiators, which actually do the job. Don’t be misled by Discrete Heat’s false claims.

Just a word of warning. I thought I would try it out on an old property which required a full refurbishment. I'm not really sure if it is designed for old non right angled rooms. Anyway after a catalogue of errors which I am not blaming on Discrete Heat it has just been installed. I have to hold my hands up and take some responsibility but I find it odd that they are happy to sell a system without doing a site visit. Very expensive to purchase and extremely expensive to install circa £5000+ compared to £1700 for the equivalent normal radiators. Not sure I would recommend for an old property.

I got in touch with the team to get electric heated skirtings. The process from designing to install went really smooth. I installed the skirtings myself as im an electrician using the help guides provided along with the wifi stats so i could control the heating from my phone.

Heating/control's work brilliantly and look great!

After sales service is worth a special mention. The team have been incredibly supportive with technical advice and accommodating small changes to my planned layout. I can't stress that enough... thank you!

The heating kit arrived on time well packed and the fitting instructions very clear and concise easy to fit and extremely neat when fitted
