Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Reina Hedingham Vertical Column Radiator manufactured from and how does it benefit heating performance?
The Reina Hedingham Vertical Column Radiator is constructed from high quality Mild Steel. This material is widely chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity, allowing the radiator to heat up rapidly and distribute warmth efficiently throughout the room. Mild steel is also highly durable, ensuring the radiator can withstand the pressures of standard UK central heating systems while maintaining its structural integrity over a long service life, which is backed by the manufacturer warranty.
What finish options are available for the Hedingham Vertical range and are they ready for immediate installation?
The Hedingham Vertical range is available in two standard finishes: Black and White. These finishes are applied professionally to provide a sleek, durable coating that is resistant to wear and easy to clean. Unlike some primed radiators that require painting before use, these Black and White options are finished products ready for immediate installation, allowing you to match them directly to your interior decor without additional preparation work.
How does the vertical design of the Reina Hedingham solve space issues in small or crowded rooms?
The vertical orientation of the Hedingham range is specifically designed to solve space constraints by utilizing vertical wall height rather than horizontal floor width. For example, the 285mm wide model takes up very little wall width but stands 1800mm tall, making it perfect for narrow spaces like hallways, alcoves, or pillars between windows. This design maximizes heat output without encroaching on floor space needed for furniture, offering a practical solution for modern living areas.
What are the specific heat output capabilities for the different sizes in the Hedingham Vertical collection?
The heat output varies significantly by size, which is determined by the number of sections. For instance, the narrowest 1800mm x 285mm model delivers approximately 4930 BTUs (1446 Watts) at Delta T50. The wider 1800mm x 465mm model, which has 10 sections, provides a much higher output of 8217 BTUs (2409 Watts). It is essential to calculate your room specific heating requirements using a BTU calculator to ensure you select the correct size for adequate warmth.
Does the Reina Hedingham Vertical Column Radiator come with a warranty and what does it cover?
Yes, all radiators in the Reina Hedingham Vertical collection come with a comprehensive 10 Year Guarantee. This warranty covers any manufacturing defects, such as leaks or material failures, that might occur during normal use. It ensures peace of mind regarding the quality of the mild steel construction and the welding. However, to maintain the validity of this guarantee, the radiator must be installed correctly and the heating system should be treated with appropriate inhibitors to prevent internal corrosion.
What pipe work and valve orientation is required for installing these vertical column radiators?
These radiators connect to your central heating system via standard 1/2 inch BSP pipe connections. Since they are vertical models, the pipe connections are typically located at the bottom sides. You will need to purchase radiator valves separately, as they are not included. If your pipes come from the floor, you will generally need Angled Valves. If your pipes emerge from the wall, you might require Corner Valves or Angled Valves depending on the specific alignment of your pipework relative to the radiator inlets.
What is the depth of the Hedingham Vertical radiator and how much does it project from the wall?
The product specifications list the depth of the Hedingham Vertical radiator itself as 160mm. This is a substantial depth due to its column design, which contributes to its high heat output. When planning your installation, you must also account for the wall brackets, which will add further distance from the wall. This total projection is critical to consider if you are installing the radiator behind a door or in a narrow passage to ensure it does not cause an obstruction.
Are these radiators compatible with all types of domestic central heating systems in the UK?
Yes, the Reina Hedingham Mild Steel Column Radiators are fully compatible with all standard UK central heating systems, including tank fed systems and modern combi boilers. They are designed to operate efficiently within normal pressure ranges. Their mild steel construction ensures they respond well to thermostatic controls, allowing you to integrate them easily into a zoned heating setup for improved energy efficiency and comfort control.
How does the section count relate to the width and weight of the radiator?
The width of the Hedingham radiator is directly proportional to its number of vertical sections. For example, the 375mm wide model comprises 8 sections, while the 465mm wide model has 10 sections. As the section count increases, so does the weight of the unit, especially when filled with water. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the wall where you intend to mount the radiator is solid enough to support this weight, or that appropriate fixings are used if mounting on a stud wall.
Is the delivery service for the Reina Hedingham Vertical range free and how fast is it?
The Budget Radiators website indicates that this range qualifies for FREE delivery to the UK mainland. The items are listed as In Stock, which typically implies a prompt dispatch service. While the specific delivery timeframe can vary, stock items are often available for next working day delivery or within a short window. It is advisable to check the specific delivery estimate at checkout or contact support if you have an urgent project timeline to ensure the items arrive when your installer is scheduled.
