Space Saving Radiators FAQs
Are Space Saving Radiators as Good as Standard Radiators?
Despite their more compact size, space saving radiators still are great at providing heat coverage for your room. Of course, the larger the radiator, the better it is at doing so, but this all depends on the size of the room it’s heating, how well insulated the room is etc. Usually, many people choose space saving radiators for kitchens, bathrooms and cloakrooms that otherwise struggle to fit a standard radiator and these rooms aren’t always the largest in the home. If a space saving radiator is put within a large, open plan room, it may not be as effective, so that’s why as well as choosing the right size, you should work out the British Thermal Unit (BTU) requirement to ensure it provides sufficient heating.
How Can I Ensure The Right Size Space Saving Radiators?
At Stelrad, you can trust that any choice of radiator size whether large or small will provide excellent heating coverage, easy installation, and long-lasting use. To ensure you have the right size, it’s important to take measurements of the wall space you want to place the radiator in and match it with available products. You can do this using our radiator size calculator as a quick way to find what you are looking for from our extensive range.
What’s the Smallest Space Saving Radiator Size?
How much space you want to save in a room is completely up to you and varies between people depending on other considerations. A modest-sized room with a lot of furniture may struggle to fit a standard horizontal radiator, for example, so when looking for the smallest space saving radiator, you should ensure it will still provide ample heating. Calculating heat loss and how much BTU is required to efficiently heat the room is important, as the smallest radiator may not be the best option for a larger room. The smallest available will vary between the type and design so the smallest size will differ across the range. Use our size calculator to find radiators that closely match your wall space.
