Radiator FAQ's
Yes, just make sure the valves you purchase to go with the radiator are angled valves.
To some extent, yes. Painted radiators do give out a little less heat compared to standard white radiators but the difference is minor. It will not impact the radiators ability to produce heat and heat a whole room. However, all of our colours are done by using a powder coating and so the colour makes no difference to the heat output. If you are considering painting a rad yourself, please not the more layers of heat resistant paint you add, the great the impact on performance.
Our BTU Calculator tool will help you identify suitable radiators for the specific room(s) in question.
As a guide, in our experience we’ve found the typical room size of the average 3 bedroomed house requires the following radiator sizes:
Lounge = 1400 x 600 double
Dining room = 1200 x 600 double
Kitchen = 900 x 600 double
Bedroom 1 = 1400 x 600 single
Bedroom 2 = 1200 x 600 single
Bedroom 3 = 900 x 600 single
Bathroom = 600 x 600 double
