Quartz Mocha Vertical Rad

I got the Quartz Mocha for a client and the colour looks amazing. Good heat pumping out too. Would recommend.

Excellent service and Product

I recently bought 20 of these for a boutique hotel and they were all delivered next day, well packaged, well communicated and great quality. I will be back for my next project for certain.
Many Thanks,
Jake

Nice rad, but so far from the wall

As above, nice rad, but the supplied chrome spacers mean it stands away from the wall by 10cm or 4 inches. Not what we wanted in a smaller bathroom

There are several factors which you must consider when choosing a new radiator for your home. Here, we will help you get the right radiator for your home.

Radiator Size BTU Calculator

 You may find yourself asking such questions as:

  • What is a BTU?
  • What size radiator do I need?
  • How do I calculate radiator size for a room?
  • How many watts are in a BTU?

Here, we will be dispelling the mystery behind the elusive BTU measurement and how you can use our BTU calculator to find out which radiator(s) will be perfect for your home!

 

What is a BTU?

Let’s start with the basics - A BTU (or British Thermal Unit) is a traditional unit of heat which can be defined as the amount of energy required to heat 1lb of water up by 1 degree Fahrenheit. This is sometimes hard to imagine, so a common analogy to explain this is to compare it to the energy given off by a single burning match (Source)

 

Burning Match BTU Heat Output

 

If the concept of the BTU is still a little baffling, you can always refer to the more traditional Watt to calculate heat output. All that you need to remember is that 1 Watt of energy is equivalent to 3.41 BTU’s. Alternatively, if you have a BTU measurement and would like to find out the heat output of your radiator in Watts all you would need to do is divide the BTU’s by 3.41.

 

What size radiator do I need? 

There are several factors which you must consider when choosing the right radiator for your home such as…

 

What heat output does the radiator need to be?

What size should the radiator be?

What style and colour will suit the desired room?

 

The heat output required for any room within your home can be calculated with the use of our very own radiator size calculator! This BTU calculator uses the dimensions of your chosen room to give a BTU requirement for the entire room; considering several variations such as double glazing, north facing windows and patio French doors to help calculate radiator size.

  

Once you have entered the dimensions of your room and accounted for the additional heat loss variations you will have a final BTU reading which accounts for the total heat requirement for the chosen room. This value does not represent the total BTU requirement for a specific radiator, but rather the total BTU’s required from the addition of all radiators within that room.

 

Choosing your radiator

The next step in determining the heat output and size required for your radiator is to determine how many radiators you would like to heat your desired room. In most cases 1-2 radiators will suffice, however for larger rooms you may require more. The amount of BTU’s required per radiator will depend on how many radiators are within the room – so divide the total BTU requirement by the number of radiators to calculate the average BTU’s required per radiator.

We have a large range of designer radiators which you can filter to show only radiators with the amount of BTU’s that you require.

Different rooms not only have different BTU requirements but also have aesthetic requirements, for example some of our Horizontal Radiators would be very well suited for a living room or hallway, but may look out of place as a bathroom radiator. Luckily, we supply a very diverse range of radiators to suit every room in your home – from our space saving Kitchen Radiators to the popular and contemporary Terma Ribbon Vertical Radiator, which can be used in living rooms, hallways and kitchens.

  

You can also add a towel rail element to convert the towel rail to electric or dual fuel

NOTE:

This calculation is simply an estimate, please refer to your plumber if a more accurate reading is required. Our calculations are only estimated and are based on information you provide. The BTU calculator can only process the most common factors that affect heat loss and may not take into account all factors relating to your particular requirements. Any results provided by our heating calculator should not be considered 100% accurate, and we accept no liability for any errors resulting from the estimates given. Calculations based on Delta - T 50°C (Δ-T50°C).
