Aluminium Radiators

Aluminium radiators are an increasingly popular choice for adding a designer touch to any living space. Explore our FAQs to learn more about their efficiency, longevity and why they stand out when compared to other heating options.

What are the benefits of aluminium radiators?

Aluminium is a very versatile material. Beyond being user friendly, aluminium radiators have numerous benefits. The rapid heat conductivity of the material makes them ideal for quickly warming small spaces. Its lightweight composition makes aluminium radiators easy to install, plus there are a wide array of different design choices to opt for. The accessibility and affordability of aluminium radiators further contribute to their appeal.

Are aluminium radiators more efficient than stainless steel options?

Yes, aluminium radiators are generally more efficient than stainless steel options due to their superior heat conductivity and responsiveness. Aluminium heats up faster than stainless steel, allowing radiators to reach the desired temperature more quickly, which makes them ideal for spaces that require rapid warmth. Additionally, their higher BTU output enables them to heat large spaces effectively. Because aluminium radiators use less water and heat up efficiently, they also reduce energy consumption, making them a more cost-effective and eco-friendly heating solution.

How long should an aluminium radiator last?

Contrary to popular belief, aluminium radiators often outlast copper radiators and brass alternatives. Typically, aluminium radiators have a lifespan of approximately 8 to 10 years, longer than some other types of radiator due to their durability.
