VERTICAL RADIATORS UK - FAQS
Are vertical radiators any good?
Yes, a vertical radiator is not just a functional addition to your home, but it can also bring aesthetic appeal to your living space. By opting for a vertical tall radiator, you can maximise your room’s potential and create more space for your furniture and décor – ideal if the room is on the small size. Tall radiators can help provide an even distribution of heat throughout the room too. Given that hot air rises, a vertical radiator will ensure that the warmth is circulated from top to bottom, creating a comfortable and cosy atmosphere.
Apart from being space-saving and efficient, vertical radiators come in a diverse range of styles, from modern and sleek to traditional and ornate, such as vertical column radiators. This means that you can choose wall radiators that not only function well but also complement the overall aesthetic of each room. Moreover, vertical radiators can be more energy efficient than their horizontal counterparts as they can operate at lower temperatures while still providing the same level of warmth, helping you save money on your energy bills.
Do vertical radiators work as well as horizontal?
Yes, although some may have doubts about the effectiveness of vertical radiators in heating, they are just as efficient as horizontal designs. Stelrad vertical radiators can also bring added advantages to your home, with the slender design enabling them to be fitted into areas where traditional horizontal radiators simply won’t fit, making them a smart choice for smaller spaces. In addition, choosing a contemporary and eye-catching vertical radiator design helps enhance your property and may even help it stand out in a crowded property market. As vertical radiators are still relatively uncommon in most homes, this means having one installed can give your space a distinctive and fashionable touch. The best way to decide if vertical radiators are right for you is to use our BTU calculator and compare your choices.
Are vertical radiators more efficient?
Although vertical heaters are not inherently more efficient than horizontal ones, they are equally effective. The advantage of vertical radiators lies in their ability to generate the same amount of BTU heat as their horizontal counterparts, allowing you to reap the benefits of traditional radiators while saving space with a slender, tall vertical model. If you’ve used our BTU calculator, you’ll see recommendations on which of the vertical range is most suited for the room you’re looking to upgrade, as it’s important to choose the right size and heat output to make your choice as efficient as possible for the room.
Can a vertical radiator be hung horizontally?
Although a vertical radiator can be installed horizontally, it’s important to consider a few factors. The heat output will not be the same as when hung vertically due to the airflow direction. Moreover, slim vertical radiators are designed to save space, but this benefit will be lost when hung horizontally. Ultimately, the decision is yours, but for optimal performance, it’s best to keep the radiator vertical. If you are looking for horizontal radiators, we have plenty to choose from that will be perfect for the job instead.
Can vertical radiators be fitted upside down?
It’s a nightmare scenario to go through the trouble of setting up your new tall radiator only to realise you’ve flipped everything on its head. Fortunately, our designer vertical radiators can be installed and piped upside down, and they will function properly regardless of how you choose to fit them, except for our vertical column radiators. However, it’s important to note that the flow inverter in these types of radiators means that the flow will always be on the left-hand side, regardless of orientation.
How can you bleed a vertical radiator?
Bleeding radiators is the same whether you choose horizontal or vertical designs – it’s all about locating the correct valves, and once you have, the process is still the same. You can read our step-by-step guide on how to bleed a radiator here for further help.
