Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this radiator suitable for older, high-temperature heating systems?
While it can function in high-temperature systems, it is specifically designed for optimal efficiency with low-temperature systems and heat pumps. Using it with very high temperatures may reduce its efficiency benefits.
What is the recommended heating water additive?
Consult your heating system installer or a chemical supplier for recommendations on a high-quality heating system inhibitor that is compatible with aluminium radiators. The additive should protect against corrosion and scale.
How does its lightweight design affect installation?
The aluminium construction makes it significantly lighter than equivalent steel or cast iron radiators. This simplifies handling during installation, potentially reducing labor time and the need for heavy lifting equipment.
What is the heat output of this radiator?
The product description states it offers the same heat output as a traditional steel radiator of comparable size, but specific BTU or Wattage figures would depend on the exact dimensions and Delta T (temperature difference) of your heating system.
Can I paint this radiator?
While the grey finish is contemporary, painting is generally not recommended as it can affect heat output and potentially damage the finish. If absolutely necessary, consult the manufacturer for approved paint types that won't impede performance.
What does the 10-year guarantee cover?
The 10-year guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and structural integrity of the radiator itself under normal operating conditions. It usually does not cover issues arising from poor installation, system water problems, or accidental damage.
Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, it can be installed in a bathroom. However, ensure it is properly sealed and protected if exposed to high humidity, and always follow standard safety regulations for bathroom installations.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is not heating up or heating unevenly.
Ensure the system is fully charged with water and that the radiator is correctly bled to remove any trapped air. Check that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is not closed or faulty. Confirm the heating system is operational and at the correct temperature.
Noisy radiator (e.g., banging, whistling).
This often indicates trapped air; bleed the radiator. Check that the radiator is securely mounted and not vibrating against any surfaces. Ensure the system's water pressure is adequate.
Water leaks from valve connections.
Attempt to tighten the valve slightly. If the leak persists, the valve may need replacing, which should be done by a qualified professional. Ensure no excessive force is applied during tightening.
Corrosion or discolouration on the surface.
This may indicate poor water quality. Ensure a suitable heating water additive has been used as recommended. Clean gently with a soft cloth and monitor the situation. Persistent issues may require a system flush and refill with appropriate treatment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Energy efficient, especially with low-temperature systems and heat pumps
Fast heating performance
Lightweight and easy to install
Environmentally friendly (100% recyclable)
Durable with a 10-year guarantee
Modern and space-saving design
Cons
Heating water additive is strongly recommended, adding a potential extra cost and step.
Aluminium may be more prone to specific types of corrosion if water conditions are not managed.
May require specific fittings compatible with aluminium radiators.
Lower thermal mass than cast iron radiators, meaning heat output might decrease faster once the system turns off.
Aesthetically might not suit all traditional interior designs.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure System Compatibility: Confirm your heating system is suitable for low-temperature operation and/or heat pumps.
Professional Installation Recommended: Due to plumbing requirements, professional installation is advised.
Use Heating Water Additive: It is strongly recommended to add a suitable heating water additive to your system. This helps protect the radiator from corrosion and scale, ensuring longevity and optimal performance.
Mounting: Securely mount the radiator using appropriate brackets (usually supplied or recommended by the manufacturer).
Compatibility:
Heating Systems: Compatible with most modern central heating systems, including those powered by gas boilers, electric boilers, and particularly heat pumps and solar thermal systems.
Water Quality: Use of a heating water additive is crucial for maintaining water quality and preventing damage.
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
Bleeding: Periodically bleed the radiator if you notice cold spots, following standard radiator bleeding procedures for your heating system.
System Checks: Regularly check your heating system's water pressure and quality, especially if not using an additive.
