Choosing the right material

Steel

For a range of traditional and modern designs, sizes and colours steel radiators may be the choice for you. Comprised from a lighter less dense material than cast iron, steel radiators will heat up and cool down relatively quickly providing manageable control. Steel is the most popular material used to manufacture designer radiators in the UK– in part, because it is easy to shape and therefore create the distinctive and contemporary designs and sizes we are increasingly looking for. If you’re looking for a statement piece, steel radiators are a good place to start.

The main purpose of a radiator is to heat your room so how a material transfers heat from the hot water into the room is very important . Steel is a good conductor of heat, but not at the top of the list, it is however a more cost-effective material and has more varied designs to choose from and is therefore a less expensive option.
