Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the 595mm height of the Daisy Cast Iron Radiator a popular choice for awkward architectural spaces?
The 595mm height is a technically versatile dimension. It is low enough to fit comfortably under most standard window sills and dado rails, yet tall enough to provide a substantial heat output surface. This makes it a perfect problem-solving solution for spaces like landings, narrow porches, or smaller bedrooms where full-height radiators are impractical but effective heating is still required.
What is the heat output per section for the Daisy 595mm model and how do I calculate my room's requirements?
Each individual section of the Daisy 595mm radiator generates approximately 270 BTUs (79 Watts) at Delta T50. To solve your sizing needs, divide your room's total BTU requirement by 270. For example, a small bedroom needing 3000 BTUs would technically require an 11 or 12 section radiator. This modularity allows for precise customization to match your heat loss calculations.
What specific decorative features define the Daisy Cast Iron Radiator range?
The Daisy range is characterized by its intricate floral casting. Technically, this involves a repeating relief pattern of daisies and ribbons flowing from the top shoulder down the column. This ornate detailing not only adds period charm but also slightly increases the surface area for radiant heat emission compared to a plain column radiator of the same size.
What are the structural floor load considerations for the Daisy 595mm radiator?
Cast iron is dense material. A single section of the Daisy 595mm weighs approximately 8.6 kg. A typical 10-section assembly weighs roughly 86 kg empty, and over 100 kg when filled with water. Technically, you must ensure your floor joists can support this concentrated static load. For suspended timber floors, placing the feet directly over joists or adding structural noggins is recommended to prevent floor deflection.
What type of wall stay is recommended for securing the Daisy 595mm radiator?
Due to its decorative nature and height-to-depth ratio, the Daisy 595mm is freestanding but requires stabilization. A Luxury Wall Stay is technically recommended. This solid brass or chrome arm clamps securely between the radiator sections and anchors the top of the unit to the wall. It provides essential lateral support to prevent the radiator from tipping if knocked, ensuring safety compliance.
Why is a system flush critical before connecting the Daisy 595mm radiator to an existing heating circuit?
Cast iron radiators are manufactured using sand moulds. Microscopic residues of casting sand or iron filings can remain inside the sections. Technically, it is vital to thoroughly flush the radiator and the entire heating system before commissioning. If this debris circulates, it can damage boiler pumps or block heat exchangers. Installing a magnetic system filter is a best-practice technical solution to trap ferrous debris and protect the heating system.
How does the high thermal mass of the Daisy 595mm radiator improve comfort in a period property?
The Daisy 595mm has high thermal mass due to its iron content and water volume. This results in a slow heat-up and cool-down cycle. Technically, this provides a "flywheel effect" where the radiator continues to emit warmth for over an hour after the heating turns off. This creates a stable, consistent temperature curve that is ideal for combating the rapid heat loss often found in draughty period properties with single glazing.
