Radiator Installation
We are experienced in extending heating systems and can advise you on the best size of radiator for your room, taking into account the heat loss of the room to which you would want it fitted.
The heat loss is a factor of many things, for example size, designation, insulation, windows, floor covering and external walls. Radiators must be sized to overcome this heat loss.
You may also require your radiators to be fitted with TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valves). This will allow you to control the temperature of the radiator.
Radiators must also be balanced to allow for an even distribution of heat throughout the property – this is done with other valves NOT the TRV.
Wall Mounted Radiators
These are the most common type of radiator. Ideally wall mounted radiators should be fixed to a strong wall or reinforced for a secure fitting. For a stylish modern look, concealed pipework can be added; making the heating pipes invisible to the eye.
Floor Standing Radiators
Floor standing or floor mounted radiators offer the flexibility of being placed anywhere in the room as they do not require a wall to be fixed to.
Traditional Column Radiators
A column radiator has a more traditional look and feel and may compliment older properties. Column radiators are available in both horizontal to vertical designs.
Fan Assisted Radiators
Smaller, and more energy efficient these types of radiators with their intelligent fans react quickly to changes in temperature. There are a variety of different types and styles on the market.
Towel/Bathroom Radiators
These type of radiators are largely decorative in terms of heating space. Towel radiators are not usually sufficient for heating a large bathroom, so additional heat emitters may be required.
Thermostatic Radiator Valve
This changes the flow of hot water to a radiator allowing the temperature of the room to be adjusted. This should not however be confused with balancing a heating system, which uses a different valve.
