Frequently Asked Questions
What are S4H Faraday flat panel radiators?
These are modern heaters with a smooth and flat front sheet. Unlike old radiators with bumpy ridges, flat panel radiators look clean and tidy. The S4H Faraday model has metal fins inside that warm up the air and push it out to heat your room quickly.
Why should I buy Faraday radiators instead of standard ones?
People choose Faraday radiators because they look stylish and are very easy to clean. The smooth front does not trap dust like old corrugated radiators. They are perfect if you want a modern look for your home without spending too much money.
Are these radiators good for small rooms?
Yes they are excellent for small spaces. The Type 11 model is very thin and sits close to the wall. This means it does not stick out and block your walking path in narrow hallways or small bathrooms.
What is the difference between Type 11 and Type 22?
This tells you how thick the radiator is. Type 11 has one panel and is the thinnest option. Type 22 has two panels and two sets of fins so it is thicker but gives out much more heat. Choose Type 22 for big cold rooms.
How do I clean my flat panel radiator?
Cleaning is very simple. Because the front is smooth you just need to wipe it with a soft damp cloth. You do not need to scrub hard. For the dust inside the top grill you can use a long brush or a hairdryer to blow it out.
Will a Faraday radiator fit my old pipes?
Most likely yes. These radiators use standard connection sizes found in most UK homes. If you buy a radiator that is the same width as your old one it should fit right onto your existing valves without needing big changes.
Does the S4H Faraday come with a warranty?
Yes every model in this range comes with a 10 year guarantee. This means the manufacturer promises it will work well for a long time. It gives you peace of mind that you are buying a quality product.
How do I know which size to pick?
You should not guess the size. You need to use a BTU calculator. This tool uses the size of your room and your windows to tell you exactly how much heat you need. Then you pick a radiator that matches that number.
Are Faraday radiators energy efficient?
Yes these flat panel radiators are designed to work efficiently. They hold less water than old heavy radiators which means they heat up faster when you turn your boiler on. This can help save money on your heating bills.
Can I install this radiator myself?
You can do it if you are good at DIY but we suggest using a professional plumber. Central heating uses hot water and pressure so a mistake could cause a leak. A professional ensures it is safe and keeps your warranty valid.
What does the S4H stand for?
S4H stands for Supplies4Heat. This is a well known brand that makes high quality radiators at affordable prices. The Faraday radiators are one of their most popular ranges because they balance quality and cost very well.
Do you have vertical models for narrow walls?
Yes there are vertical versions available. These are tall and thin radiators. They are perfect for kitchens or rooms where you do not have much wall space near the floor but have plenty of height to use.
Why is my radiator cold at the top?
If your radiator is hot at the bottom but cold at the top it usually means air is trapped inside. You need to bleed the radiator. You can do this by slightly opening the small air vent at the top with a key until water comes out.
What color are these radiators?
The standard S4H Faraday comes in a clean white finish. This white epoxy paint is very strong and looks bright. It fits well with almost any wall color and makes the room look fresh and spacious.
Do brackets come in the box?
Yes the radiator comes with the wall brackets and fixings you need to hang it up. You usually only need to buy the valves separately because those depend on how your pipes come out of the floor or wall.
Are these suitable for low temperature heating?
Yes especially the Faraday Eco models. They have special fins inside that help move air even when the water is not boiling hot. This makes them a great choice if you plan to use a heat pump in the future.
Will the paint peel off over time?
No the white finish is applied in a factory using a special powder coating method. This makes the paint very hard and durable so it will not peel or flake off under normal heating conditions.
How far does it stick out from the wall?
This depends on the type you buy. The Type 11 is very slim and projects only a little bit. The Type 22 is deeper because it has two panels. You can check the exact depth in millimeters on the product specification table.
Can I put clothes on these radiators to dry?
It is better not to cover flat panel radiators directly with heavy wet clothes. This blocks the warm air from moving into the room. If you need to dry towels it is better to buy a specific towel rail or a clip on rail.
Why is the back of the radiator open?
The back is not fully covered so that air can flow through the metal fins. Cool air enters from the bottom gets heated by the fins and rises out the top. This movement of air is what warms your room up so quickly.
