FAQs

Can I install this radiator in a bathroom?

While the unit is high-quality, the metallic gold finish is not specifically marketed for high-humidity environments like bathrooms. Consult with a professional to see if your ventilation is sufficient to protect the finish.

What is the warranty period?

The Lux Heat Flat Vertical Radiator comes with a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Does this radiator come with valves?

No, valves must be purchased separately. You will need to ensure your chosen valves are compatible with your existing pipework.

Is it suitable for a low-pressure system?

This radiator is compatible with standard domestic central heating systems; however, performance may vary based on your specific boiler and pump pressure.

How heavy is the unit?

Due to the double-panel steel construction, the unit is heavy. Ensure it is mounted onto a load-bearing wall, preferably into brick or blockwork.

Can I paint the radiator?

Painting the radiator will void your warranty and may interfere with the thermal output and the integrity of the finish.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is cold at the top

There is likely trapped air in the system; use the included bleed valve to release excess air until water flows steadily.

Radiator is not heating up fully

Check that the radiator valves are fully open and ensure the central heating system is balanced correctly.

Leaking at the connection points

Ensure all joints have been properly sealed with PTFE tape or appropriate sealant and that the blanking plug is tightened securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High heat output suitable for larger rooms
  • Stylish and unique metallic gold finish
  • Space-saving vertical design
  • Robust construction with 5-year warranty
  • Includes all necessary mounting hardware

Cons

  • Requires professional pipe configuration to match 580mm centres
  • Heavy unit necessitating secure wall mounting
  • Metallic finish may show fingerprints or scratches if handled improperly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard central heating plumbing skills. The pipe centres are fixed at 580mm, so verify that your existing pipework is spaced correctly before purchase. The radiator projects 85mm from the wall, with a wall-to-centre measurement of 48mm, which should be accounted for when planning valve placement.

Care Instructions:

  1. Periodically check for airlocks and bleed the system using the provided bleed valve if the top of the radiator feels cool.
  2. Clean the surface using a soft, non-abrasive microfibre cloth.
  3. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip or scratch the gold finish.
  4. Ensure the system is properly treated with a corrosion inhibitor to maintain the integrity of the mild steel interior.
