Product Information

Full details

The GoodHome Flat White Type 21 Double Panel Radiator is designed for homeowners seeking an efficient and slimline heating solution, particularly for smaller or space-constrained areas like cloakrooms or en-suites. Its key benefit is providing effective heat output without demanding significant wall space. A potential caveat is that it may not be sufficient as a sole heat source for very large or poorly insulated rooms, often serving best as a secondary or supplementary heater in such cases. This radiator features a double panel design for enhanced heat distribution and a clean white finish to complement modern interiors.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this radiator?

The radiator measures 800mm in height and 600mm in width. Its depth is characteristic of a Type 21 (single panel, single convector) design.

Does this radiator come with valves?

No, radiator valves are typically sold separately and must be purchased according to your plumbing system's requirements.

Can this be used as the only heat source in a large room?

This radiator is best suited for smaller rooms or as a secondary heat source. For large or poorly insulated rooms, it may not provide sufficient primary heating on its own.

How do I clean the white finish?

Use a soft cloth dampened with water. Mild soap can be used for tougher marks, but always rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Is this radiator suitable for a wet room?

Yes, if installed correctly by a professional and the room has adequate ventilation, it can be suitable for a wet room environment. Ensure all electrical safety distances are maintained if applicable.

What is a Type 21 radiator?

A Type 21 radiator has a single panel and a single convector fin, offering a slimmer profile compared to double panel or double convector models.

How often should I bleed the radiator?

Bleed the radiator whenever you notice cold spots, usually at the top, or if the radiator doesn't seem to be heating efficiently. Typically, this might be needed once a year or if you hear gurgling sounds from the system.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator using a radiator key to release trapped air. If the issue persists, the system may require balancing.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all connections are tight. If leaking from a valve, it may need replacing by a professional.

Radiator is cold at the top

Air has likely entered the radiator. Bleed the radiator until water starts to appear.

Low heat output

Check that the radiator valves are fully open. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking heat circulation. Verify the central heating system is functioning correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving slim profile is excellent for small bathrooms or hallways.
  • Efficient heat output for its size due to the double panel design.
  • Clean, modern aesthetic complements various interior designs.
  • Can supplement heating in larger rooms needing an extra boost.
  • Easy to install for competent DIYers or professional plumbers.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient primary heating for very large or poorly insulated rooms.
  • Requires a central heating system connection.
  • White finish could be susceptible to discolouration over time if not maintained.
  • Specific dimensions may not fit all allocated spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This radiator requires connection to a standard central heating system. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure correct plumbing and bleeding of the system. Ensure all brackets are securely fitted to the wall before mounting the radiator.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard UK central heating systems (both vented and unvented). Ensure your system has adequate pressure and flow rate for optimal performance. It requires radiator valves (not included) for connection and control.

Care: Clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the paint finish. Ensure no obstructions are placed directly in front of the radiator to allow for efficient heat circulation. Regularly bleed the radiator if you notice cold spots or poor performance, using a radiator key.
