ThermaSkirt™ replaces standard skirting boards with a slimline aluminium heat-emitting profile. Invisible install, perfect for heritage and low-impact retrofits — heating the whole perimeter of every room.
ThermaSkirt™ is genuinely clever engineering — a hollow aluminium skirting profile (just 22mm deep) with internal heat exchangers and integrated 12mm hydronic pipework. It looks like a normal skirting board, but the entire perimeter of your room becomes a low-temperature heat emitter.
It's the perfect solution for heritage homes where you can't lift the floor for underfloor heating, or where you want to preserve original features and avoid the visual presence of radiators.
Warm water (45–55°C) circulates through the integrated pipework. The aluminium profile conducts heat into the room, distributing warmth along the perimeter — exactly where heat is lost through walls and windows.
Each room can have its own thermostatic control via a manifold, just like a radiator system.
Yes — when properly sized to your home's heat loss, ThermaSkirt™ delivers full heating around the perimeter of every room. We design the system from heat-loss calculations to ensure adequate output per metre of skirting.
Almost none. The profile is just 22mm deep and 150mm tall — barely thicker than a standard skirting board. It replaces your existing skirting, so visible footprint is identical.
Yes — ThermaSkirt™ is the most heritage-friendly hydronic option available. Install with no demolition, no visible plant, and no scarring of original floor or wall finishes. We've installed it in dozens of heritage projects across Sydney and Melbourne.
"AHHAC delivered our 22-zone underfloor system on time, on budget and to spec. The crew were tidy, the documentation was thorough, and the commissioning was textbook."
"We've worked with AHHAC for 17 years. They've installed and serviced our hot water plant across three commercial buildings — and they pick up the phone on weekends."
"Three mobs quoted us; AHHAC's design was the only one based on a proper heat-loss calculation. The system runs beautifully — the others would've been oversized and expensive."
