The Agadon Rome Aluminium Designer Radiator is designed for homeowners seeking an energy-efficient, stylish, and durable heating solution, particularly those with low-temperature heating systems or heat pumps. Its key benefit is rapid heating and excellent thermal conductivity, leading to potential energy savings. A caveat to consider is the strong recommendation for using a heating water additive for optimal performance and longevity.

Aluminium radiators offer excellent thermal conductivity, meaning they heat up very quickly and respond rapidly to changes in your heating system's output. They are also lighter than steel radiators, making them easier to install.
While it can function, it is specifically optimized for low-temperature systems and heat pumps. For older, high-temperature systems, a traditional steel radiator might be more suitable, or ensure your system can operate efficiently at lower temperatures to benefit from this radiator's design.
The manufacturer strongly recommends using a quality heating water additive. Specific product recommendations can usually be found in the full product manual or by contacting Agadon customer support. These additives help prevent corrosion and maintain optimal heat transfer.
Because the radiator heats up quickly, your heating system doesn't need to run for as long to reach the desired room temperature. This rapid response, especially in conjunction with low-temperature systems, can lead to reduced energy consumption and lower heating bills.
It means the aluminium used in its construction can be fully reprocessed and used to create new aluminium products at the end of its lifespan, contributing to a more sustainable approach to manufacturing and consumption.
The 10-year manufacturer's guarantee typically covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Specific terms and conditions apply, and it's advisable to review the full details provided by Agadon.
The radiator comes with a high-quality powder-coated finish. While painting might be possible with specific surface preparation and suitable paints, it may affect the warranty and thermal performance. It's best to consult Agadon or a professional installer before attempting to repaint.
Ensure the radiator is compatible with your system's operating temperature. Check if a heating water additive is being used as recommended. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Verify that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is open and functioning correctly.
This could indicate air trapped in the system or sediment buildup. Bleed the radiator. If the issue persists, flushing the system and ensuring proper water treatment might be necessary.
This usually signifies trapped air. Bleed the radiator by carefully opening the bleed valve until water begins to flow out, then close the valve.
Check that all fittings are securely tightened. If leaks persist, the threads may need re-sealing compound or new olives/washers.
Setup:
Installation is designed to be straightforward, similar to standard radiators. Ensure the system is depressurized and drained before commencing. Connect the radiator using appropriate plumbing fittings compatible with your existing heating system. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's specific installation guide. The use of a heating water additive is strongly recommended to optimize performance and protect the radiator's internal components, especially in low-temperature systems.
Compatibility:
This radiator is specifically designed for use with low-temperature heating systems and heat pumps. It is compatible with most standard central heating systems but performs optimally when operating at lower water temperatures (e.g., 35-55°C). Ensure your boiler or heat source can supply water at temperatures suitable for efficient operation of an aluminium radiator.
Care:
To maintain the radiator's finish and performance:
