Type 22 Double Panel Radiators
Type 22 radiators, also known as K2 or double panel double convector radiators, have two heating panels with two rows of convector fins between them. That gives them more heated surface area than Type 11 radiators and Type 21 designs, helping them produce a higher heat output from comparable heights and widths.
More panels and fins generally mean more heat, but they also make a Type 22 radiator deeper than a Type 21 radiator. That trade off can work particularly well when you need plenty of warmth but don’t want to use more wall width. Just check the projection as well as the height and width before you choose.
Our range of double panel radiators covers compact models through to radiators over 2000mm wide, and more than half offer upwards of 5000 BTU. Most are horizontal, with selected vertical designs available too. Calculate how much heat the room needs first, then choose the dimensions and BTU output that fit both the room and the wall.

FAQ's
What is a Type 22 radiator?
A Type 22 radiator (also known as a K2 or double panel double convector radiator) is a type of central heating radiator that has two heating panels and two rows of convector fins.
What's the difference between Type 11, Type 21 and Type 22 radiators?
The number refers to the number of panels and rows of convection fins.
- Type 11 has one panel and one row of fins
- Type 21 has two panels and one row of fins
- Type 22 has two panels and two rows of fins
Of the three types, Type 22 generally provides the highest heat output, but also has the greatest depth compared to the other types.
What are the benefits of Type 22 radiators?
- High heat output: Two panels and two rows of convector fins provide greater heat output than Type 11 and Type 21 radiators of a similar size.
- Ideal for larger rooms: Their higher output makes them a practical choice for rooms that need more heat.
- Good use of wall space: They can provide substantial heat without needing to take up additional wall width.
- Range of sizes: Available in different heights and widths, making it easier to find an option to suit your room.
- Versatile design: Their classic panel design works well across a range of rooms and interior design preferences.
What rooms are Type 22 radiators best for?
Type 22 radiators are very well suited to larger rooms or spaces with higher heat requirements, such as living rooms, open-plan areas and larger bedrooms.
They can also be useful in rooms with greater heat loss, and are a good choice for older homes due to their high heat output, which compensates for poor insulation and draughts.
The required BTU output should always be checked before choosing any radiator. Check out our BTU guide to help with your calculations.
How do I choose the right Type 22 radiator?
Start by calculating the BTU output your room requires, taking into account factors such as room size, insulation, windows and external walls.
Choose a Type 22 radiator that provides enough BTUs for the space, then check its height, width and depth to make sure it fits comfortably on your available wall space.
