Product Information
Full details
The GoodHome Flat White Type 22 Double Panel Radiator is designed for users needing efficient heating in smaller or space-constrained areas, offering a slim profile and effective warmth. While it excels in providing adequate heat for such spaces, it may not be sufficient as the sole heat source for very large or poorly insulated rooms. This radiator features a double panel design with a convector fin for enhanced heat output in a compact form factor.

FAQs
What is a Type 22 radiator?
A Type 22 radiator has two panels and two convector fins sandwiched between them, offering a higher heat output compared to Type 11 (single panel with one convector fin) or Type 0 (plain panel) radiators of the same dimensions.
Is this radiator suitable for a large room?
This radiator is ideal for smaller rooms or as a supplementary heater in larger rooms. For large or poorly insulated rooms, you may need multiple radiators or a higher output model.
How do I calculate the required radiator size for my room?
Room size, window type, insulation levels, and desired temperature all affect calculations. Online BTU (British Thermal Unit) calculators can help estimate the heat output needed. For precise calculations, consult a heating professional.
Can I install this myself?
While DIY installation is possible for those with plumbing experience, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure safety, compliance with regulations, and optimal system performance.
What maintenance does this radiator require?
Regular dusting with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient for the exterior. Internally, ensure your central heating system is periodically flushed and maintained by a qualified engineer to prevent sludge build-up.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as these can vary.
Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up at all
Check that the central heating system is on and the thermostat is set to a higher temperature. Ensure the radiator valves are fully open. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air.
Radiator is cold at the bottom but hot at the top
This indicates a build-up of sludge or sediment at the bottom. The system may need flushing or professional cleaning. Bleeding the radiator might offer a temporary fix.
Radiator is making noise (e.g., banging, hissing)
Hissing is usually air; bleed the radiator. Banging noises can indicate water hammer in the system or expansion issues; consult a heating engineer.
Leaking from valves or connections
Check that the radiator valves are fully tightened. If leaks persist, the valve may need replacing or the connection re-sealed by a professional plumber.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Space-saving slim design suitable for small rooms.
- Effective heat output for its size due to double panel and convector fin.
- Versatile use as a primary or secondary heat source.
- Neutral white finish complements various decors.
- Durable and built for long-term use.
Cons
- May be insufficient as the sole heat source for very large or poorly insulated rooms.
- Requires professional installation to ensure proper function and safety.
- Specific plumbing connections needed, not a standalone unit.
- Can be heavier than single-panel radiators, requiring secure mounting.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires plumbing expertise. The radiator is designed to connect to a standard central heating system. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. Mounting brackets are essential for secure wall attachment; use appropriate fixings for your wall type. It is highly recommended to have this product installed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Compatibility: This radiator is compatible with most standard central heating systems. It requires hot water circulation from a boiler or heat source. Ensure your system is capable of supporting the additional load and that the pipework is appropriately sized.
Care: To maintain its appearance, clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the white finish. For internal cleaning, flushing the system as part of regular boiler maintenance is advised. Ensure the radiator is fully dry after cleaning.
