Frequently Asked Questions
The Neo Georgian 6-Column 960mm radiator has a massive heat output of over 600 BTUs per section; can I use fewer sections to save space?
Absolutely. This is the primary technical advantage of this model. A short 6-section radiator (only 391mm wide) produces over 4,000 BTUs, which is enough to heat a typical bedroom. By using this tall, deep radiator, you can free up valuable wall space that would otherwise be taken up by a long, low radiator, making it ideal for narrow vertical wall strips between tall windows.
With a weight of over 12kg per section, is it safe to install the Neo Georgian 960mm radiator on an upper floor?
Structural assessment is mandatory. A 20-section radiator weighs roughly 245kg dry and holds ~60kg of water, totaling over 300kg. This is a static "dead load" concentrated on a small footprint. On a timber floor, you technically must reinforce the joists. You should position the radiator perpendicular to the joists to span at least 3 or 4 of them, or install a steel plate or noggins to distribute the load safely.
Given the 960mm height and 221mm depth, what wall stay configuration is required for stability?
The center of gravity on this unit is very high (approx 480mm from the floor) and forward-biased. A single low-level stay is dangerous. You technically require Luxury Wall Stays positioned in the top third of the radiator (approx 800mm high). For banks longer than 10 sections, we recommend using at least two stays (one at each end) anchored into solid masonry to prevent the 300kg mass from toppling during an accidental impact.
How does the painting process differ for the 960mm high 6-column model compared to shorter versions?
Painting a 960mm tall, 6-column deep radiator is technically difficult. Gravity causes paint to run down the long vertical columns, and reaching the deep center sections is nearly impossible with a brush. We strongly recommend ordering this radiator pre-finished (sprayed) from the factory. If painting on-site, you must use a spray gun with a long extension nozzle to coat the inner columns evenly without runs.
What pipe diameter is required to feed a large Neo Georgian 960mm radiator?
A 26-section model produces over 17,000 BTUs (5kW). Standard 15mm copper pipe can technically carry ~6kW, but it is at its limit. For radiators of this size, particularly on long pipe runs, we recommend running 22mm pipework to the valves (reducing to 15mm at the valve tail) to ensure adequate flow velocity and prevent the radiator from being "starved" of hot water at the far end.
How do I move a 300kg Neo Georgian radiator into my house?
Do not attempt to lift a fully assembled large bank manually. The radiator will likely be delivered on a pallet. You should technically break it down into smaller batteries (e.g., 8-10 sections) using a Joining Key for transport into the room, then reassemble it in-situ. If moving it whole, you must use mechanical aids like a piano dolly or hydraulic lifter, never drag it on its feet as they can snap under the immense weight.
Does the 221mm depth affect the choice of valves for the 960mm model?
Yes. The radiator body is 221mm deep. If you use standard straight valves, the handles will protrude significantly. We recommend Corner Valves or Gate Valves that keep the handwheel tucked within the footprint of the radiator. Also, ensure the valve tails are long enough; the bush face is recessed slightly, so you may need telescopic extensions to connect to rigid floor pipes without stressing the joint.
Why does the Neo Georgian 960mm radiator take so long to cool down?
The radiator contains a huge mass of iron (~12kg/section) and water (~3L/section). This acts as a thermal store. Once the boiler turns off, the radiator will continue to emit heat for 1-2 hours. This is technically beneficial for maintaining comfort in drafty period properties, as it smooths out the temperature drop, but you should adjust your heating timer to turn off earlier than with steel radiators to save fuel.
