Vertical radiators come in many sizes, but typically 1800mm high and 600mm long. Typically, standard radiators are mounted so that the bottom of the radiator is 150mm from the floor.
What are the standard sizes of radiators?
These were, traditionally, 700mm x 1400mm at the smallest and 600mm x 2400mm at the largest for horizontal radiators. Vertical radiators came in at 800mm x 600mm at their largest.26 May 2021
A vertical radiator that offers the same heat output as a horizontal style is a great heating solution for most rooms of your home. So in a room that perhaps requires a little more space for manoeuvre, a vertical radiator may be the best heating option.
Which are better vertical or horizontal radiators?
Vertical radiators are a fantastic option for smaller rooms, where a bulky horizontal radiator simply takes up too much wall space. Contrary to popular belief, vertical radiators have an equal BTU heat output to horizontal radiators, despite many people thinking all the heat is lost out of the top of them.4 Jul 2019
Do vertical radiators give off more heat?
As we mentioned above, vertical radiators, in general, won't give out the same heat output as horizontal radiators. In fact, depending on the size and shape of the room you are trying to heat, a strategically-placed vertical radiator or two may be a better bet than a standard horizontal heater.2 Dec 2019
Are vertical radiators popular?
Vertical Radiators have been rising in popularity for a while now. As opposed to horizontal radiators they are visually unique and like with it's horizontal kin, there is plenty of opportunities for the vertical radiator to express its individuality.21 Mar 2018
Can a radiator be mounted vertically?
Horizontal Radiator vertically. Yes it will work fine but the output will be lower than quoted figures.5 Aug 2006
Do vertical radiators produce enough heat?
Vertical designer radiators, in general, won't give out the same heat output as horizontal ones, because they don't have the same length to draw cold air up for convection that horizontal radiators do. It all boils down to exactly what heat (BTU) output your room requires to warm it up adequately.20 Jan 2020
Are vertical column radiators any good?
In summary, column radiators are an energy efficient way of heating your home. Although panel radiators remain a popular option in many homes, steel column radiators are far more efficient because they have a larger surface area and can heat the air around them much more effectively than a panel radiator can.28 May 2021
Do column radiators give less heat?
Although convector radiators may get hotter than column radiators, they are less efficient at circulating the heat around the room. So you could argue that the room would get hotter with a column radiator even though the BTUs are lower because heat is transferred further and faster.
