Material

Steel offers the lowest price tag compared to other materials, but it also offers the most diversity in terms of colour and style. Steel is malleable which allows radiators to be efficient because they can be physically designed to better pass heat from the water inside to the space around them (this is a radiator's job after all, despite some thinking that its job is to “store” heat). The heat output is also good, the proof is in the pudding with this one - would steel be the most common radiator material if the heat output was rubbish? Steel is a highly durable material which is important as radiators are going to be the victims of some knocks and bangs over time and you want them to withstand that.

Style

The elliptical tube style is one of oval shaped tubes connected to round tubes (these are called collectors). The powder painting gives the metal a perfectly even finish. It’s easy to maintain and clean and delivers a good level of heat distribution.

Panels

Double panel radiators have two panels, one behind the other. Ideal for those walls that have a lot of dead space, but the room still needs a lot of heat, double panels offer a much greater heat output than their single panel sisters while still taking up the same amount of wall space and in most cases, they have the same projection – so they wont stick out into the room too much.

Colour

Warm, timeless and oh so on trend, Brushed Brass is back! The golden brushed tone will compliment your homes décor whether it be modern or traditional. A beautiful colour that is sure to impress your visitors.

Heat Source

A central heating or hot water radiator is one that is plumbed into your homes central heating system. Whether you have a Combi boiler, gravity fed (conventional) system or a system with a cylinder, you can install this radiator.

Accessories

This radiator has G1/2” connections either side at the bottom and so the valves required will depend on your pipework (which is why they aren’t provided with the radiator):

For pipework coming from the wall to the side of the radiator, use corner valves.
For pipework coming from the floor and up to the side of the radiator, use angled valves.
For pipework coming along the wall to meet the side of the radiator, use straight valves.

There are a few different types of valves available for you to choose from: Manual Valves provide easy on/off control – simply turn the valve by hand to allow the water from your central heating to pass through into the radiator or towel rail, just like a tap! If this radiator is going to be in the same room as your main boiler thermostat (usually a little box on the wall or the mantle, that you turn up and down) then we advise you to use manual valves over TRV’s because a TRV will conflict with your boiler thermostat and can cause temperature issues around the home. Thermostatic Valves (TRVs) provide multi temperature control of the radiators in your home – saving energy and money! These valves have sensor mechanisms inside that shut off the flow of hot water to the radiator when the room temperature reached the desired level! If your looking to reduce your carbon footprint while remaining cosy warm, then TRV’s are the way to go (provided they aren’t installed in the room where your main boiler thermostat is).
