Frequently Asked Questions
What is the thermal advantage of using mild steel for Reina Flat horizontal column radiators
Mild steel is highly conductive and allows the radiator to heat up and cool down much faster than cast iron or stone alternatives which improves the responsiveness of your central heating system to thermostat changes and increases overall energy efficiency
How does the Delta T 50 rating affect the BTU output calculation for these radiators
Delta T 50 is the industry standard temperature difference between the water inside the radiator and the desired room temperature so you must use this figure to accurately match the Reina Flat radiator heat output to your specific room size requirements
What is the exact wall projection for the Reina Flat Single Column model when installed
The radiator itself has a slim depth of 58mm and when you add the standard wall mounting brackets the total projection from the wall extends to approximately 83mm to 93mm which is ideal for keeping hallways and narrow spaces clear
How do I calculate the pipe centres for installing these horizontal steel column radiators
To find the pipe centres you need to take the total width of the radiator and add the valve allowance which is typically around 80mm to 90mm depending on your specific valves ensuring you measure this accurately before laying your floor pipes
Are the Reina Flat column radiators compatible with low temperature heat pump systems
Yes these steel radiators function well with heat pumps but because heat pumps run at lower water temperatures you will need to recalculate the required size using a lower Delta T factor to ensure the room reaches the correct temperature
Why is the powder coated finish on the Anthracite and White models important for durability
The powder coating process fuses dry paint to the steel surface under high heat creating a finish that is far more resistant to chipping scratching and thermal stress than standard wet paint which ensures the radiator looks new for longer
Do I need specific valves for the 1/2 inch BSP connections on these flat column radiators
No the Reina Flat range uses standard 1/2 inch BSP connections which are compatible with the vast majority of UK thermostatic and manual radiator valves making it easy to connect to existing 15mm copper or plastic pipework
How does the flat column design improve convective heat distribution in the room
The spacing between the flat vertical sections allows air to flow freely through the radiator structure which creates strong convection currents that circulate warm air effectively throughout the room rather than just radiating heat locally
What maintenance is required to prevent internal corrosion in these mild steel radiators
You must ensure that a high quality chemical inhibitor is added to the central heating system water upon installation and checked annually as this prevents the reaction between water and steel that causes internal rust and sludge buildup
Does the 10 year manufacturer guarantee cover damage from high system pressure
The guarantee covers manufacturing defects such as leaking welds or material flaws but it generally excludes damage caused by exceeding the maximum operating pressure so you must ensure your system pressure is regulated within the standard domestic limits
