FAQs

What are the dimensions of this radiator?

This model measures 600mm in height and 1164mm in width.

Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?

While it is durable, this is primarily designed for living spaces. Ensure it is placed well away from direct water splashes to protect the gold finish.

Can I use this with an electric-only heating system?

This radiator is intended for use with standard central heating water systems.

How much heat does it produce?

It provides 3992 BTUs at T50, making it capable of heating quite large areas.

Does it come with mounting brackets?

Yes, it is designed for standard wall mounting, but always check the included hardware kit upon delivery.

Will the gold finish peel over time?

The finish is high-quality and durable, but should be kept away from harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning pads to ensure longevity.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

The system likely has trapped air; use a radiator key to bleed the radiator until water flows steadily.

Radiator takes a long time to heat up

Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is set correctly and check that the system boiler pressure is within the manufacturer's recommended range.

Visible dust buildup between columns

Use a specialized long, thin radiator brush or a vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle attachment to clear the gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High BTU output suitable for large spaces
  • Stylish and eye-catching gold finish
  • Durable steel construction for long-term use
  • Improved convection via 2-column design

Cons

  • Large physical footprint (1164mm wide)
  • Gold finish may require specific cleaning to prevent tarnishing
  • Heavier than standard flat panel radiators

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the wall mounting surface is structurally sound, as the 2-column steel construction has significant weight. Professional installation is recommended to guarantee the valves are correctly calibrated to your central heating loop.

Compatibility: This unit is compatible with all standard domestic central heating systems. Before purchasing, verify your pipe center measurements to ensure your existing plumbing lines up with the radiator inlets.

Care: To maintain the gold finish, clean the radiator only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaning agents, as these can scratch or strip the decorative finish. Dust the spaces between the columns regularly using a long-handled radiator brush to maintain optimal heat efficiency.
