Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Reina Rione steel column radiators a good choice for my home?
The Reina Rione is a top choice because it combines the classic look of old cast iron radiators with the efficiency of modern steel. This means you get a stylish radiator that heats up very quickly and uses less energy to keep your room warm. They are perfect for both traditional cottages and modern apartments.
What is the difference between single and double horizontal models?
The main difference is the heat output and depth. A single model has one row of columns and sits closer to the wall, which is great for narrow hallways. The double model has two rows of columns and produces almost twice as much heat, making it the best option for large living rooms or colder spaces that need extra warmth.
Do these radiators come with the valves included in the box?
No, Reina Rione radiators are sold without valves. This is standard for designer radiators because every home has different pipework. You will need to buy radiator valves separately. We offer a wide range of styles, from modern chrome to traditional brass, so you can match them to your room decor.
How do I know which size of Reina Rione radiator I need?
To find the right size, you need to calculate the BTU requirement for your room. This is a measure of how much heat is needed to warm the space. You can use the BTU calculator on the Budget Radiators website. simply enter your room dimensions, and it will tell you exactly how much heat output you need.
Are Reina Rione radiators heavy like cast iron ones?
No, because they are made from high grade mild steel, they are much lighter than traditional cast iron radiators. This is a huge benefit because it means they can be mounted on most standard walls without needing heavy duty support or special floor feet, making installation much easier and cheaper.
What colors and finishes are available for the Rione range?
The standard finishes are a crisp White or a modern Anthracite Grey. These colors fit well with most interior designs. However, because the steel is high quality, the white version can also be painted if you want a specific custom color to match your walls perfectly.
Does the Reina Rione come with a warranty or guarantee?
Yes, every Reina Rione radiator purchased from Budget Radiators comes with a comprehensive 10 year manufacturer guarantee. This covers you against any manufacturing defects, giving you peace of mind that you are buying a durable and long lasting product.
Can I install this radiator on my existing central heating system?
Yes, the Reina Rione is designed to work perfectly with standard UK central heating systems. It has been tested to withstand high pressure (up to 10 bar), so it is compatible with both combi boilers and traditional tank systems.
How do I clean my column radiator properly?
Cleaning is very simple. Because the columns are smooth and spaced out, you can easily wipe them down with a soft dry cloth or a microfiber duster. You should avoid using wet sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these could damage the paint finish over time.
My pipes come out of the floor. Which valves should I buy?
If your water pipes come up from the floor, you should choose Straight Valves. These connect the bottom of the radiator directly to the floor pipes. If your pipes come out of the wall, you will need Angled Valves or Corner Valves instead.
Why is the double horizontal radiator more expensive than the single?
The double horizontal radiator uses more steel material and is more complex to build because it has two layers of tubes. However, the price difference is worth it for larger rooms because you get a much higher heat output from the same amount of wall space.
How far does the radiator stick out from the wall?
This depends on the model. The Single model projects about 83mm from the wall, making it quite slim. The Double model projects about 107mm. You should measure your space beforehand to ensure it will not block any doors or walkways.
Do you offer free delivery on Reina Rione radiators?
Yes, Budget Radiators offers free delivery to most UK mainland addresses. We try to make the shipping process as smooth as possible so your new radiator arrives safely at your doorstep without hidden costs.
What happens if the radiator arrives damaged?
We take great care in packaging, but accidents can happen. If your radiator arrives damaged, please contact our support team immediately with photos. We will arrange a replacement or solution as quickly as possible to ensure your project is not delayed.
Can I use the Reina Rione in a bathroom?
Yes, these radiators look fantastic in bathrooms and provide plenty of heat to dry towels. However, they are made of steel, so it is important to ensure your bathroom has good ventilation to prevent excessive moisture buildup on the surface over many years.
Is the mounting kit included with the radiator?
Yes, the radiator comes with all the necessary wall brackets and fixings you need to hang it on the wall. You will only need to provide the tools, such as a drill and a spirit level, and purchase the valves separately.
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 issue with all radiators. To fix it, you simply need to use a radiator key to open the small bleed valve at the top until the air hisses out and water starts to appear.
How accurate are the heat output numbers listed?
The heat output numbers (BTUs and Watts) listed on our page are very accurate and are tested at Delta T50, which is the UK standard. This ensures that you can trust the radiator will provide the warmth promised for your specific room size.
Can I put a shelf above this radiator?
Yes, many people install a shelf above column radiators to deflect heat into the room and stop it from rising straight to the ceiling. Just make sure you leave enough gap between the top of the radiator and the shelf for air to circulate freely.
What is the delivery time for these radiators?
We stock many sizes of the Reina Rione for quick dispatch. Usually, you can expect delivery within a few working days. You can check the specific stock status on the product page to see if your required size is ready to ship immediately.
