Can I install this radiator myself?

Installation requires knowledge of central heating systems and plumbing. It is strongly recommended to have the radiator installed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and proper performance.

How do I clean the anthracite finish?

How often should I bleed my radiator?

It is advisable to bleed your radiators at least once a year, typically before the heating season begins, or whenever you notice cold spots on the radiator surface.

Are other sizes and colors available?

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Ensure the central heating system is on and functioning. Check if the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is set to a high enough temperature. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air.

Radiator is only partially hot

This usually indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator, starting with the air vent at the top. Ensure the TRV is not sticking.

Leaking from radiator valves

Check that the valve fittings are tight. If the leak persists, the valve may need servicing or replacement by a professional.

Low heat output from the entire system

Check the boiler pressure and ensure it is within the recommended range. You may need to repressurize the system. Clean any filters in the heating system.
