Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Reina Slimline Vertical Radiator technically superior for narrow hallways or small rooms?
The Reina Slimline Vertical Radiator features an ultra slim product depth of just 55mm. This is significantly thinner than standard panel radiators or column radiators. This technical design allows it to provide substantial heat output without protruding far from the wall, making it the ideal problem solving solution for hallways, landings, or behind doors where every millimeter of walkway width is critical to avoid obstruction.
How does the convector design maintain high heat output despite the flat panel appearance?
Although the front face is a sleek flat panel, the rear of the radiator utilizes convector fins. These fins increase the surface area for heat transfer, encouraging warm air to rise rapidly through the radiator (convection) while the flat front radiates heat into the room. This dual action ensures that even a narrow model like the 1770mm x 300mm unit can deliver a powerful output of 2385 BTUs, efficiently heating a room without the bulk of a double panel radiator.
What are the specific height options available in the Slimline Vertical range?
The range offers a wide variety of specific vertical heights to suit different wall spaces: 470mm, 770mm, 1170mm, 1470mm, and 1770mm. This extensive selection allows you to maximize vertical wall space. For example, the 1770mm height is perfect for floor to ceiling utilization, while the shorter 1170mm or 1470mm models can fit comfortably on partial walls or in rooms with lower ceilings, providing flexible heating solutions for awkward spaces.
Can I order the Reina Slimline Vertical Radiator in a colour other than White?
Yes, while the standard White finish is readily available, the Reina Slimline range is also stocked in a modern Anthracite finish. Furthermore, if you require a specific colour match for your interior design, you can order these radiators in a custom RAL Colour or Special Finish. Note that while White and Anthracite are typically stock items for fast delivery, custom RAL orders will require a longer lead time for the bespoke painting process.
What wall projection should I plan for when installing this 55mm deep radiator?
When installing the Reina Slimline Vertical Radiator, you must account for the 55mm depth of the radiator plus the distance added by the wall mounting brackets. Typically, wall brackets add approximately 30mm to 50mm of clearance. Therefore, the total projection from the wall to the front face of the radiator will be roughly 85mm to 105mm. This compact projection is a key technical benefit for maintaining clear passage in tight areas.
Are valves included with the Reina Slimline Vertical Radiator and which type do I need?
Radiator valves are not included and must be purchased separately. The Reina Slimline Vertical Radiator features standard 1/2 inch BSP connections, typically located on the bottom sides. For a vertical installation where pipes come from the floor, you will need Angled valves. If your pipes come from the wall, you will likely need Corner valves to ensure the valve heads align neatly with the radiator, maintaining the clean, flat aesthetic.
Does the 10 Year Guarantee cover the finish as well as the radiator body?
Yes, the 10 Year Guarantee provided with the Reina Slimline Vertical Radiator covers both the structural integrity of the steel body against leaks and the quality of the powder coated finish. This warranty ensures that the radiator will not suffer from manufacturing defects such as weld failures or paint flaking under normal operating conditions, provided the central heating system is properly maintained with corrosion inhibitors.
How do I choose the correct width if I have limited wall space?
The Reina Slimline Vertical range is available in three focused widths: 300mm, 400mm, and 500mm. To solve space constraints, measure your available wall width and ensure you leave at least 100mm clearance on either side for the valves and air circulation. If you have a very narrow strip of wall, the 300mm wide model is the perfect technical fit, allowing you to install a high output heat source in a space that would otherwise be unusable.
Is the Reina Slimline Vertical Radiator compatible with standard UK central heating systems?
Absolutely, these radiators are manufactured from high quality steel and are designed for full compatibility with all standard UK central heating systems, including modern high pressure combi boilers and traditional open vented systems. They operate efficiently at standard pressures and temperatures (Delta T50), ensuring they can be integrated seamlessly into your existing heating loop without the need for special adapters or system modifications.
Why is the 1770mm x 500mm model recommended for larger rooms with limited wall space?
The 1770mm x 500mm model is the largest in this specific vertical range, delivering a substantial heat output of 3973 BTUs (1165 Watts). This makes it technically capable of heating a medium to large sized room, such as a living room or dining area, using only a 500mm wide strip of wall. This "high output, small footprint" efficiency allows you to free up the rest of your wall space for furniture placement, solving the common problem of radiator placement dictating room layout.
