Every year, all sorts of novelties in the arrangement of premises appear on the building materials market. So, quite recently, a new type of skirting boards appeared in Russia, which are able to create heating of a building along the entire perimeter. Due to its compact design and quality in heat delivery baseboard heating quickly gained popularity. But since this is a relatively new species, before choosing it for heating a room, it is worth familiarizing yourself with it in more detail.

Warm skirting board construction

This model consists of heat exchangers that are fixed to copper pipes. This whole structure is housed in a box 3 centimeters wide and 14 centimeters high. These dimensions are comparable to standard skirting boards, which does not limit the free space of the room.

Basic design:

Rear panel. Prevents wall deformation from temperature changes, and is also responsible for ease of installation.
Radiators. Heating elements of the following dimensions: 1000 x 40 x 160.
Outer panel. Provides constant air movement.
Side and swivel plugs.

All these elements can be easily assembled into one whole.

The heat exchange module is subdivided into 2 types:

Water baseboard. Its design includes 2 pipes through which fluid circulates. This model is connected to a central or boiler heating system.
Electric warm skirting board. In this type, tubular electric heaters and wires are included in the design. This model works directly from electricity.

Regardless of what kind of warm plinth is electric or water, they can equally serve as both an additional and the main source of heat supply. But, like any heating system, they have their pros and cons.

Warm electric skirting board: reviews of experts and users

After reading the reviews of experts about the environmental friendliness and safety of this heating device, you will be convinced that it is completely safe for health, as well as the ecology of the environment. In addition, this skirting board creates a barrier against cold air masses that move away from the window. It is also a positive factor that due to the heating of the walls, there will be no high humidity in the room.

At the same time, user reviews often mention the fact that due to the slow rise of air, the dust in the room becomes much less, which has a positive effect on health. The effectiveness of such devices is also noted, claiming that they are able to completely replace traditional methods of heating in rooms. This allows us to conclude that with the proper power for a particular room, this heating method can really be used as the main one.

Thanks to the heating module, which has a unique design, as well as the use of a manifold for connection, the temperature difference between the supply and return lines is no more than 5 degrees. If we compare this indicator with the data of traditional heating systems, we can see that it is 4 times less than usual. And this difference provides significant savings in energy costs.

Also, users note the fact that this method of heating allows you to significantly save space, because the baseboards do not take up space, while fully performing the role of radiators. Thus, equipping such a system in a small apartment, you can simultaneously save money, space and at the same time provide yourself with heat.

Electric infrared warm skirting board is a heat source that perfectly heats the room and does not dry the air at the same time. With all this, it is completely safe to use and in contact with any materials, fabrics and furniture upholstery will not cause a fire.

Advantages and disadvantages

Despite the fact that the heated skirting board has a compact size, its performance characteristics can surpass any heating system. Its design has the following advantages:

Hygiene. In rooms where such heating is located, the walls will never be covered with mold.
Uniform heating of the room. The air in the rooms has the same temperature, both at the floor and at the ceiling, with a single difference of only 1 degree.
Energy savings. A warm plinth during operation consumes no more than 0.5 kilowatts per 2.5 meters of battery.
Security. Fireproof and electrical - safe properties make it possible to install this structure in wooden buildings.
The space of the room. The small size of the equipment excludes the presence of oversized radiators.
Design. The presence of decorative skirting boards makes it possible to decorate the room in an original way.
Ease of installation. You can install the structure without certain skills.

And they can also create the comfort of a warm floor, not only indoors, but also on balconies, terraces and in greenhouses.

But, despite such positive qualities, warm skirting boards also have their drawbacks, which you should pay attention to when choosing them:

High price. For the manufacture of this model, expensive and high-quality materials are used.
In order to avoid shorting the wiring, this device cannot be used in buildings with high humidity.
Models should not be placed behind large furniture, as the heat supply will decrease.

Having considered all the qualities of the model, you also need to familiarize yourself with the principles of their heating.

The principle of heating a warm skirting board

A distinctive effect of a warm skirting board from other heating systems is that heating occurs from the lower layers of the air. Then it gradually rises, giving off heat to the walls. Therefore, the room has the same temperature throughout the space, from floor to ceiling.

Due to convection, all heating goes to the walls and only 20 - 30% to the air. The warm temperature goes smoothly along the walls without mixing with the rest. Thus, the rising warm stream prevents the low temperature from touching the walls and heats them up. During this process, a lot of energy is consumed. But as soon as the surface begins to radiate heat, the savings will quickly increase.

Despite the fact that the installation of a warm skirting board can be done independently, it is worth preparing for the work process carefully by purchasing additional equipment for earlier.

Why not batteries?

More and more people understand that a warm house is not one with standard batteries on the walls, so they are looking for other options. Conventional systems are not able to efficiently heat, moreover, the costs of their operation are high.

As for the warm floor, this system is deservedly held in high esteem, because it allows you to always keep your feet warm, and this is a guarantee that a person will not freeze. Plus, it uses fewer financial resources under the same comfortable conditions for a person. This is because lowering the average temperature by 1-2 ° C will not affect comfort, but the savings will be 10-15%.

A warm skirting board is something absolutely incredible. A heating manifold is installed in the metal plinth, which successfully heats the room due to thermal radiation.

Note! A warm floor, like a skirting board, can be both an auxiliary element in the heating system, and the only one. At the same time, a person, being in a room with such heating, will not experience cold.

Warm floor is understandable and known to many, therefore it is popular

Additional equipment for installation

Installing the system

Before proceeding with the installation of a warm skirting board, it is necessary to determine how much and what kind of materials will be needed. Especially you need to think about how it will connect to the network and how secure it will be.
To install the warm skirting board system, you need to purchase the estimated amount of a special heating cable. It consists of a central heating copper conductor, an insulation layer, a braid and another additional insulation. It has a fairly high resistance index, so the cable will heat up quite a lot when energized.

In addition, you will need to take a thermostat. It is essentially a traditional rheostat that will regulate the voltage applied to the heating cable.

Due to this, the temperature regime in the room will be adjusted. Due to the fact that the system is quite dangerous, it will be better to stretch a separate line to it from the shield, through which the connection will be made.

Place and installation rules

Warm electric skirting board is mounted at a low height from the floor surface - it should be at a height of 3-6 cm from the surface. In the future, it will be covered with the most ordinary skirting board.
When installing skirting boards, make sure that furniture and other elements of decoration of the room do not close this system, otherwise, the efficiency of its work will not be too high. This is due to the fact that it is not the air in the room that will warm up, but pieces of furniture that are not too willing to give off heat to the environment.
During installation, the panels are placed strictly horizontally. No more than 17 panels are placed in one common module, the total power of which should be no more than 200 W. If more than 17 panels are required to heat the room, then each of the similar modules will have to be connected separately into a parallel system.

In order for the whole structure to be as safe as possible, an electric warm plinth is connected through a voltage stabilizer and a residual current device.

Instructions

First, an insulating tape is glued to the wall. It should be noted that the warm skirting board can be mounted on any surface - wood, concrete, drywall, and so on. A profile made of aluminum and made in the shape of the letter G is attached to this tape. A distance of approximately 40 cm is observed between adjacent profiles.
When is it done, attach the heating element directly. Its length can be different, due to which it is possible to choose a suitable system for one specific room. Make sure that some distance remains between the wall and the cable.
All elements included in the electric skirting board system, must be connected to each other using a special cable that has additional silicone insulation. The critical temperature is around 180 degrees.
After all the elements are connected, you need to attach a protective box. When all this is done, carefully check if everything was connected correctly. A slight voltage is applied to the plinth, after which it remains to wait a little and feel if the air temperature in the room has risen.
