Frequently Asked Questions
How does the double configuration of the Reina Neva Vertical Radiator affect heat output compared to single panel models?
The Reina Neva Double Vertical Column Radiators feature two rows of oval steel tubes arranged one behind the other. This double configuration significantly increases the surface area available for heat transfer compared to a single panel model. Consequently, the Double versions generate a much higher BTU Output and Wattage for the same wall footprint. For example, the 1800mm x 413mm double model delivers 4613 BTUs, making it a powerful solution for larger rooms where wall space is limited but heat demand is high.
What are the precise depth and wall projection dimensions I need to plan for during installation?
The product specifications list the depth of the Reina Neva Double radiator itself as 103mm. This is deeper than the single version due to the second row of tubes. When installing, you must add the depth of the wall brackets to this figure to determine the total projection from the wall. This technical detail is crucial for ensuring the radiator does not obstruct walkways or door swings. You should also measure your pipe centers carefully to align with this projection, typically requiring pipes to be set further from the wall than for standard panel radiators.
Are the Anthracite and White finishes durable and do they affect the heat output of the radiator?
Yes, the stock Anthracite and White finishes available for the Reina Neva range are applied using a high quality powder coating process. This finish is extremely durable, resistant to scratches, and easy to clean. Technically, while different colors can have a negligible effect on radiant heat emissivity, the difference between the Anthracite and White finishes in terms of practical heat output is imperceptible. Both options provide the full rated BTU Output listed on the specification sheet and are covered by the 10 Year Guarantee.
Can I install the Reina Neva Double Vertical Radiator on a standard UK central heating system?
These radiators are manufactured from high grade Steel and are fully compatible with all standard UK central heating systems, including modern combi boilers and traditional tank fed systems. They operate efficiently within standard pressure ranges and utilize standard 1/2 inch BSP connections. This makes them a direct replacement for existing panel radiators, provided the pipework is adjusted to the correct width and distance from the wall to accommodate the double tube design.
What type of radiator valves do I need to purchase for this vertical column model?
The Reina Neva Double Vertical Radiators are supplied without valves, so you must purchase them separately. The specific type you need depends on your pipework orientation. Since the connections are on the bottom, if your pipes come up from the floor, you will typically need Angled Valves. If your pipes come from the wall, you will likely need Corner Valves to ensure the valve heads point into the room for easy adjustment. You can choose between Manual or Thermostatic Radiator Valves to suit your heating control preference.
How do I calculate the correct size of Neva Vertical Radiator for my specific room dimensions?
To select the correct size, you must first calculate the heat requirement of your room using a BTU calculator, which considers room size, window type, and insulation levels. Once you have a target BTU figure, compare it against the Delta T50 outputs listed for each Neva model. For instance, if your room requires 5000 BTUs, you might choose the 1800mm x 472mm model which outputs 5272 BTUs. Always choose a model that meets or slightly exceeds your calculated requirement to ensure the room stays warm during the coldest winter days.
Is it possible to order these radiators in custom colours if the standard finishes do not match my decor?
While the page highlights Anthracite and White as the standard in stock finishes available for fast delivery, the Reina Neva range is also available in custom RAL Colours or Special Finishes. This option allows you to coordinate the radiator perfectly with your interior design scheme. However, it is important to note that ordering a bespoke colour is a special order process that will have a longer lead time and a different price point compared to the standard stock items.
Why is the 1800mm vertical height particularly useful for kitchen and living room renovations?
The 1800mm vertical height is a technical solution for rooms where wall space is at a premium, such as kitchens with extensive cabinetry or living rooms with large windows. By utilizing the vertical wall space, you can install a narrow width unit like the 1800mm x 236mm model, which still delivers 2649 BTUs, without sacrificing valuable floor area needed for furniture or appliances. This vertical design creates a chimney effect that helps circulate warm air efficiently throughout the room.
What does the 10 Year Guarantee cover regarding the steel construction of the radiator?
The 10 Year Guarantee provided with the Reina Neva Double Vertical Column Radiators covers manufacturing defects related to the material and construction. This includes issues such as weld failures, leaks, or corrosion that result from faulty workmanship. It serves as a testament to the durability of the mild steel used. To ensure this warranty remains valid, you must install the radiator according to the instructions and ensure the heating system is flushed and treated with a corrosion inhibitor to protect the steel from the inside out.
Do the width dimensions listed include the valves or just the radiator body?
The width dimensions listed on the product page, such as 413mm or 472mm, refer strictly to the physical width of the radiator body itself. They do not include the additional width required for the radiator valves. When planning your installation space, you must add approximately 80mm to 100mm to the total width to accommodate the valves on either side. This is a critical measurement to prevent installation issues if you are fitting the radiator into a tight recess or between fixed objects.
