RAL 9005 Colour Radiator FAQS
Is the RAL 9005 Jet Black Radiators Better Than White?
We’re not here to say some radiators are better than others as each type of radiator we offer here at Stelrad are great options. Of course, the type of specs and colour you choose depends on your needs and preferences. However, it is scientifically proven the black radiators emit more heat due to their colour. Though, the overall difference in heat output between a white and RAL 9005 Colour black radiator is only 1%. You can use our heat loss calculator to find out which radiator is the best option for your home.
Is the RAL 9005 Coloured radiator more efficient?

How do I calculate the heating requirements of a house or room?
When determining the size of a radiator or the type of radiator you will buy, it’s vital to calculate the type of radiator which is best. This can seem complicated, but our STARS (Stelrad Technical Advanced Radiator System) heat loss calculator offers a simpler way to get sizing of radiators right, first time round. Both fabric heat loss and ventilation heat loss are also calculated to establish the radiator output and size required.
Stelrad measure output in Btu/hr, British Thermal Unit per hour which is the standard measurement used to state the amount of output of any heat generating device=. Heat output can also be measured in Watts, 1 watt is equivalent to 3.412 Btu/hr.
