Beaufort Max Type 22 & Type 20 Column Radiators

Beaufort Max Types 22 and 20: High-Output Column Radiators

When a room demands significant warmth without compromising on classic style, the Beaufort Max series delivers. These radiators build upon the esteemed Beaufort foundation with increased depth, resulting in a substantially higher heat output. This page details the differences between the Type 20 and Type 22 models within the Beaufort Max range, providing the technical clarity needed to select the right radiator for your space.

Defining Type 20 and Type 22 in the Beaufort Max

The terms Type 20 and Type 22 refer specifically to the radiator's construction and consequent heat efficiency. This classification is standard across the column radiator industry and indicates the number of panels and convection fins.

Beaufort Max Type 20: This model features two panels and no convection fins. It provides a strong, radiant heat output, making it a solid choice for well-insulated rooms or areas where a slightly slimmer profile is preferred.
Beaufort Max Type 22: As the higher-output option, the Type 22 comprises two panels with two sets of convection fins. These fins create channels that dramatically increase the surface area, heating air more effectively and distributing warmth more efficiently through convection. This makes the Type 22 ideal for larger rooms, spaces with high ceilings, or properties with less insulation.

Performance and Heating Capabilities

The primary reason for choosing a Beaufort Max is its superior heating performance. The added depth compared to standard Beaufort models allows for greater water capacity and surface area. The Type 22, with its convection fins, often produces over 20% more heat than an equivalent size Type 20. This makes it a practical solution for achieving a comfortable temperature in challenging spaces without needing an excessively long or tall radiator.

Selecting the correct type depends entirely on your room's BTU requirement. We recommend using our accurate BTU Calculator before making a decision. For rooms requiring maximum heat, the Type 22 is the definitive choice.

Design and Aesthetic Appeal

Beyond performance, the Beaufort Max retains all the elegant features of the classic column radiator. Its robust columns and rounded detailing provide a timeless look that suits both traditional and modern interiors. Available in a variety of finishes such as White, Anthracite, and Chrome, it can serve as a subtle backdrop or a striking statement piece. The increased depth adds a sense of substance and quality, enhancing the radiator's presence in a room.

This design philosophy is part of the wider column radiator category, known for its durable and stylish heating solutions.

Ideal Applications for Each Model

Choosing between the two models is a balance of thermal needs and spatial considerations.

Beaufort Max Type 22 Use Cases: Best deployed in living rooms, large master bedrooms, open-plan areas, and period properties with high heat loss. Its convective heating is effective at warming a volume of air quickly and consistently.
Beaufort Max Type 20 Use Cases: A suitable option for smaller bedrooms, hallways, and modern, well-insulated homes where the maximum BTU output of a Type 22 is not necessary. Its slightly narrower profile can be beneficial in tighter spaces.

Technical Specifications and Sizing

Both types in the Beaufort Max series are available in a wide range of heights and widths to fit your specific wall space. When planning, remember to account for valve connections and sufficient clearance from furniture. The robust construction ensures longevity and consistent performance within standard UK central heating systems.

In summary, the Beaufort Max Types 22 and 20 offer a powerful heating upgrade within a classic design. The Type 22 stands as the high-performance champion for demanding spaces, while the Type 20 provides a powerful and elegant solution for areas with moderate heating requirements.
