The Alpha 2 Column Radiator in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking a balance of industrial aesthetic and efficient heating performance, making it particularly well-suited for rooms with limited wall space. It provides a robust heating output through its space-saving vertical design; however, its substantial weight and metal construction require careful consideration of wall load-bearing capacity before installation.

Due to the weight of the column radiator, it is highly recommended to mount it on a solid wall or ensure the stud wall has adequate reinforcements.
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust; avoid harsh detergents or abrasive pads.
The Alpha 2 is designed for standard hot water central heating systems; verify your system requirements with a heating professional.
Valves are typically sold separately. Check your order documentation to confirm if they were included or if they need to be sourced individually.
If the radiator remains cold despite the heating being on, it may require system balancing, which is best handled by a professional plumber.
The unit may have trapped air; use a radiator key to bleed the air from the valve until water appears.
Check that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is open and that the central heating system is pressurized correctly.
To ensure optimal performance and safety, professional installation is strongly recommended for this radiator. Before mounting, verify that the wall surface can support the weight of the unit when filled with water. Ensure compatibility with your existing central heating system and use appropriate valves as specified by the manufacturer. For ongoing care, clean the surface periodically with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to maintain the grey finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the specialized coating. Regularly check valves and connections for any signs of leaks or debris buildup to ensure the system remains efficient over time.
