Column Radiators

Column Radiator Popular Questions

Are column radiators efficient?

Due to the surface area of column radiators, they tend to have a higher heat output than most old-fashioned & dated radiators. The benefit of column radiators is that they are built in sections, so once you have your chosen height, the width is never a problem. Should you still require more heat output from the size you need, you can then expand the depth of the columns which will increase your output so based on all these options, you will always find the heat output you need.

How do column radiators actually work?

Column radiators work by circulation hot water though each of the individual tubes, warming the metal, causing the entire surface area to get hot. Heat then emits off of each of these tubes, heating your space not only efficiently, but evenly too.

Can you paint sectional radiators?
