Warm baseboards - heating equipment that is so compact that it fits in a regular baseboard, however, is able to compete in efficiency with large radiators. And this is not a challenge to the laws of physics at all, but an idea implemented almost 20 years ago by the Austrian company Christine Prantl, based on heating the walls of the room with small appliances, and through them its interior space. For the development of an innovative approach, the company received an international award in Geneva in 2004, and its warm skirting boards are promoted under the Best Board brand and are considered the best. However, other manufacturers, including domestic ones, are also engaged in baseboard heating systems. In our ranking, we will consider the most successful of them, as well as give the pros and cons of water and electric skirting systems.
| pros | Minuses |
Water heated skirting boards | + efficiency + reliability and safety + embeddability + admissibility of installation in damp rooms | ‒ limited supply on the market ‒ little operating experience in domestic realities - dependence of work on the presence of coolant ‒ limited maximum possible loop length - up to 12.5 m |
Electric warm skirting boards | + ease of calculation, installation and dismantling + minimum start-up time + energy efficiency + more precise temperature control by thermostat + possibility of local inclusion | ‒ exactingness to the parameters of the electrical network in the house - undesirability of operation in bathrooms, baths, pools and other rooms with wet areas |
