Vertical Radiators: FAQs
How to install a vertical radiator
Correct positioning and professional installation ensure that you can maximise the performance of your new vertical radiator. We recommend that you:
- Check that the mounting wall can support the total weight of the radiator.
- Mount the vertical radiator at least 150mm above any skirting board in the room.
- Think carefully about valve placement and pipework, planning for efficient positioning.
- Clean and inspect the radiator before you install it to promote optimal operation.
Do I need a single or double vertical radiator?
The answer depends on your heating requirements and preferences at home.
Double-panel vertical radiators typically give out more heat, which makes them suitable for larger rooms or buildings with tall ceilings. Meanwhile, single-panel vertical radiators tend to be sleek and stylish, which makes them a popular choice for contemporary interiors.
Do vertical radiators emit more heat?
Compared to traditional radiators, vertical models give out more heat. This is typically due to their modern design, which doesn't include outdated convector fins.
The quickest and easiest way to find out how much heat a radiator will emit is by checking its British Thermal Unit (BTU) rate. This is a clear indicator of whether or not a vertical radiator will be the right size for your room.
You can use our handy heat loss calculator tool to find the most suitable radiator model.
Do vertical radiators heat up faster?
Designer vertical radiators typically have an equal BTU heat output to their horizontal counterparts. That means they should heat up in around the same time as other radiators.
Fortunately, most vertical radiators are renowned for their energy efficiency. Thanks to their increased surface area and height, they heat a room evenly and can therefore reduce your energy consumption over time.
Generally, vertical radiators with a more compact design will minimise heat loss more effectively. We recommend choosing a model that's proportional to the room size.
