The G-Rad Cream Double Flat Panel Designer Column Vertical Radiator is an ideal heating solution for homeowners looking to maximize wall space in kitchens, living rooms, or hallways where floor area is restricted. This radiator combines high-efficiency heat output with a modern aesthetic, though users should ensure their wall structure can support the weight of a steel-constructed unit before installation.

Yes, it is designed to be fully compatible with all standard UK central heating systems, including combi boiler setups.
Due to the weight of the steel construction, it is strongly recommended to mount the radiator on a solid wall or ensure there is adequate timber bracing behind the plasterboard.
You will need a drill, wall plugs, a spirit level, a spanner for the valves, and a radiator bleed key.
This specific model measures 1800mm in height and 544mm in width.
The radiator includes standard wall mounting accessories, but radiator valves are typically purchased separately based on your specific pipework configuration.
Use only a soft cloth and mild soapy water to clean the surface. Do not use acidic or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip the protective finish.
The unit likely has trapped air. Use a radiator key to carefully bleed the air from the bleed valve located at the top.
Check that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is open and that the central heating system is pressurized correctly.
Ensure all pipe connections are tightened correctly. If leaking persists, verify that the PTFE tape or sealing compound was applied correctly during initial install.
Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure the unit is correctly integrated into your existing central heating pipework. Because the unit is manufactured from thick mild steel, it is essential to ensure that wall brackets are anchored into solid masonry or suitable stud reinforcement. For maintenance, keep the exterior clean by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals that could damage the cream finish. Regularly bleed the radiator to prevent air locks and ensure optimal circulation throughout the heating season.
