Convector Radiators

Allowing you to heat up large rooms efficiently with the least amount of energy required, convector radiators are one of the most economical and energy-saving heating options out there. At Wholesale Domestic, you will find a diverse range of convector radiators to suit all your various needs.

 

Regardless of if you are looking for a vertical or horizontal model, a single or double panel design, or a specific type (Type 11, Type 21, Type 22), size or style, we have you covered.

 

How Do Convector Radiators Work?

 

Typically made of a metal such as steel, convective radiators are filled with water or another fluid, that is heated by an electric element or a burner. As the fluid heats the metal, warmth starts to radiate into the surrounding air, creating a convection current that helps to distribute heat throughout the room.

The convection current draws in cooler air from the room, which is then heated by the radiator, replacing the warm air which has risen. This process repeats, creating a steady flow of warm air throughout the room, allowing you to maintain a consistent level of temperature for an extended period of time. This makes convective radiators a popular choice for both public and private spaces due to their superior efficiency.

Another benefit of convector radiators is that they are typically more affordable than other types of heaters, making them a great budget-friendly choice. They are also very easy to install and maintain, which means you can enjoy a hassle-free heating solution that requires minimal upkeep.

 

Choosing the Right Option for Your Needs

 

When it comes to choosing the right radiator, there are a few things to consider. The first is the size of the room that you need to heat. It is important to choose a radiator that is appropriately sized for the space so that it can heat the room efficiently and effectively. To calculate the size of the radiator you need, you will have to work out how much heat output your room requires with the help of a BTU (British Thermal Unit) calculator.

 

Next, you should also consider the style and design of the radiator, as this can impact not only the overall look and feel of the room but also the heat output that is produced.

 

For example, the Kartell K-RAD Kompact Type 11 White 300mm x 400mm Single Panel with Single Convector Horizontal Radiator has a stylish and compact design, and produced a BTU of 914, making it an ideal choice for most bathrooms, kitchens, and cloakrooms. Finished in a classic matt white, this single-panel convector radiator will effortlessly fit into any colour scheme.

 

A more contemporary option, the Kartell K-Flat Premium Kompact Type 11 White 400mm x 1400mm Single Panel with Single Convector Horizontal Radiator is a type 11 radiator boasting a flat and minimalist design, suitable for any domestic or commercial new build. Measuring 1400mm in width, this radiator has an impressive heat output of 3701 BTUs.
