Product Information
Full details
The Arroll Radiator in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking durable and aesthetically pleasing heating solutions manufactured in the UK. Its primary benefit is the extended heat retention provided by cast iron, keeping rooms warm long after the central heating is off. A potential caveat is the slower initial heat-up time compared to other materials. This radiator offers a blend of classic design and modern functionality, available in various finishes to complement any home style.

FAQs
How long does it take for the Arroll Radiator to heat up?
Due to its cast iron construction, the Arroll Radiator takes longer to heat up than radiators made from lighter materials like aluminum or steel. The exact time will depend on the size of the radiator and the boiler output, but expect it to take longer than 30 minutes to reach full operating temperature.
Will this radiator keep my room warm after the heating turns off?
Yes, one of the key benefits of cast iron radiators is their excellent heat retention. They will continue to radiate warmth into the room for a significant period after the central heating system has stopped.
What type of heating system is this radiator compatible with?
The Arroll Radiator is designed for use with standard wet central heating systems, commonly found in UK homes. It is not suitable for electric-only heating systems.
Are radiator valves included?
Radiator valves are typically sold separately. You will need to purchase appropriate valves that match your pipework and desired aesthetic.
How do I clean the silver finish?
Clean the silver finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemical detergents, as these can scratch or damage the surface.
Is this radiator heavy?
Yes, cast iron is a dense material, making these radiators significantly heavier than steel or aluminum alternatives. Professional installation is recommended to ensure secure mounting.
What is the warranty period for Arroll Radiators?
Warranty details can vary. Please refer to the specific product documentation or contact the retailer for the exact warranty period and terms provided by Arroll.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up evenly
Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. If the issue persists, check if the radiator valves are fully open and ensure there are no blockages in the system.
Radiator is cold but other radiators are hot
Check the lockshield valve is open. Ensure there is adequate flow from the boiler and that the radiator is not airlocked. A professional plumber may need to inspect the system for blockages.
Chipped or damaged finish
For minor chips, touch-up paint suitable for cast iron radiators may be available from the manufacturer or specialist suppliers. For significant damage, consult a professional for restoration advice.
Water leaks from valves or joints
Ensure valve connections are tight. If leaks persist, the seals may need replacing. This should be done by a qualified plumber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of the Arroll Radiator should be performed by a qualified professional plumber. Due to the weight of cast iron, ensure all mounting brackets are securely fixed to wall studs or appropriate heavy-duty wall fixings. The radiator connects to your existing central heating system, typically via standard radiator valves.
Compatibility: This radiator is compatible with standard wet central heating systems (e.g., those powered by boilers, heat pumps). Ensure your system can support the water volume and pressure requirements. Valves are typically sold separately.
Care: To maintain the silver finish, clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For internal care, bleeding the radiator periodically (as with any central heating radiator) can help maintain efficiency. Dust can be removed with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
