500 x 1600 RADIATOR FAQs
Are 500 x 1600 vertical radiators suitable in a home with children?
If you are set on a 500 x 1600 vertical radiator in a column style for your home, you might be going for aesthetics and style just as much as functionality. A vertical radiator is an ideal option if you have small children as it will take up less floor room, as children unusually play on the floor, not up the walls. However, be sure to consider the material of your 500 x 1600 vertical radiator, options like cast-iron column radiators can be a dangerous hazard and some families prefer flat front panel radiators.
Do 500 x 1600 radiators get dirty quickly?
Most radiators collect dust and sometimes dirt, so go for a 500 x 1600 vertical radiator to keep the dirt away from the floor. Make sure you regularly clean your radiator; you should keep it free from dust and this can be ensured with a hoover or cloth. Dusty radiators don’t work as well as they should. Whether you buy a column radiator or a flat panel radiator, keeping it clean shouldn’t be a problem. You can use warm soapy water and follow our cleaning guide if you want to know the best ways to clean your radiators.
How can I work out the heating requirements for a room in my home?
Our STAR system is the way we calculate the heating requirements for a given room. Working out the complex calculation is worth it to make sure you invest in the radiator size right for your home. The Stelrad STAR (Stelrad Technical Advanced Radiator System) heat loss calculator is an easy way to ensure you get the right size radiators for the rooms in your home. The fabric heat loss and ventilation heat loss are calculated to establish the output and the size required. At Stelrad, we measure the output in Btu/hr, British Thermal Unit per hour, the standard measurement used for the output of any heated device. Heat output can also be measured in watts and 1 watt is equal to 3.412 Bt/hr.
Are designer radiators popular?
Yes, they are a popular option among families and couples. Radiators that fall under the term designer are commonly contemporary radiators, they will add style, elegance, and class to your home. If you want your radiator to fit in with your home interior and not clash with any existing decor you have, a simple designer radiator will be the best option for you. Our designer radiators at Stelrad are available in a range of different styles, colours and sizes including radiator 500 x 1600 type 21 radiators.
