Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Reina Hedingham radiator made from?
The Reina Hedingham is made from high quality mild steel. This material is excellent because it is lighter than old cast iron but still very strong. Mild steel column radiators heat up quickly, meaning your room gets warm faster when you turn on your central heating.
Why should I choose a mild steel column radiator over cast iron?
Mild steel is a great choice because it is much cheaper to buy than cast iron and easier to install because it weighs less. It also conducts heat very efficiently. You get the classic traditional look of cast iron without the heavy weight or high cost.
What colors and finishes are available for this radiator?
You can buy the Reina Hedingham in two main finishes. We offer a classic white column radiator for a clean and bright look. We also offer a bold black column radiator if you want a modern or industrial style for your home.
Do radiator valves come included with the Reina Hedingham?
No, radiator valves are not included in the box. You need to buy them separately because every house has different pipework. You can choose from our range of angled valves, straight valves, or corner valves depending on where your pipes come from.
Which type of valves should I buy for my new radiator?
If your pipes come out of the floor and connect to the side of the radiator, you usually need angled valves. If your pipes run along the wall, you might need corner valves. We recommend traditional crosshead valves to match the vintage style of the Hedingham collection.
How do I know what size radiator I need for my room?
You must check the heat output required for your specific room size. You can use our free online BTU calculator to find the right number. Just enter your room dimensions, and it will tell you how many BTUs you need to keep your space warm and cozy.
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal models?
A vertical column radiator is tall and thin, which is perfect for narrow walls in kitchens or hallways. A horizontal column radiator is wide and short, making it ideal for placing under windows. Both types provide excellent heat, so choose the one that fits your wall space best.
Does the Reina Hedingham come with a warranty?
Yes, every Reina Hedingham radiator comes with a full 10 year manufacturer guarantee. This covers you against any manufacturing defects or leaks, giving you peace of mind that you are buying a high quality and durable product.
Are wall brackets included in the box?
Yes, the radiator comes with standard wall fixing brackets. These brackets are designed to hold the weight of the radiator securely against the wall. However, you must ensure your wall is strong enough to support the radiator when it is full of water.
Can I install this radiator on a plasterboard wall?
These radiators can be heavy. If you have a plasterboard or stud wall, you must find the wooden studs to screw the brackets into. If you cannot find studs, we recommend using radiator feet or floor supports to help carry the weight so it does not damage your wall.
How do I clean dust from between the columns?
Dust can get trapped in the gaps of column radiators. To clean it, turn the heating off and let it cool down. Then use a long radiator brush or a vacuum cleaner with a thin nozzle to remove the dust. Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth.
Why is my new radiator cold at the top but hot at the bottom?
This usually means there is air trapped inside the unit. It is a very common problem. To fix it, you need to bleed the radiator. Use a radiator key to slightly open the vent at the top until you hear air hissing out. Close it when water appears.
Is delivery free for Reina Hedingham radiators?
Yes, we offer free delivery to the UK mainland for these products. We want to make your purchase as easy and affordable as possible. Please check our delivery page for specific details if you live in remote areas or islands.
What are wall stays and do I need them?
Wall stays are extra supports that tie the radiator to the wall. They are mostly used for heavy cast iron radiators, but some people use them on steel column radiators for extra safety and a more authentic traditional look. They are optional for the Hedingham model.
Does this radiator work with all UK central heating systems?
Yes, the Reina Hedingham is compatible with all standard UK central heating systems. It works just like a regular panel radiator but looks much more stylish. You can swap your old radiator for this one without changing your boiler.
Can I use the Hedingham as an electric radiator?
This specific product page lists the Hedingham as a central heating radiator. However, some models can be converted to dual fuel or electric only if you purchase the correct heating element and liquid filling. Please ask our support team for advice on electric options.
How much heat does the vertical 1800mm model produce?
The heat output depends on the width you choose. For example, the 1800mm x 465mm vertical model produces over 8000 BTUs. This is a very high heat output, making it great for large rooms with high ceilings that are hard to heat.
What happens if my radiator arrives damaged?
We take great care in packaging, but accidents can happen. If your item arrives damaged, please contact us immediately within 24 hours of delivery. We will arrange a replacement for you as quickly as possible so your project is not delayed.
Is the Reina Hedingham energy efficient?
Yes, mild steel heats up faster than cast iron and retains heat well. When paired with thermostatic radiator valves, you can control the temperature precisely. This helps you save money on energy bills by only using the heat you need.
