What is an Aluminium Radiator?

Most traditional household radiators are made of steel. However, recently there has been an increase in the number of homes installing aluminium radiators because of their energy savings. Aluminium instantly responds to changes in temperature, the radiator will heat up quickly and reacts to the thermostat to regulate room temperature. 

What Can I Save with an Aluminium Radiator?

The aluminium’s ability to conduct heat results in significant energy savings of up to 5 times the output of traditional, steel radiators. As they can respond quickly to temperature fluctuations, aluminium radiators are perfect for regulating heat.

Can they be retrofitted with my existing system?

The installation process is easy. The aluminium radiators can be installed in new builds or alternatively, connected to traditional heating systems through the side connection and the lower connections. MV variation connection is also possible.
