Frequently Asked Questions
What is an LST radiator and how does it work?
LST stands for Low Surface Temperature. These radiators are designed to be safe to touch. They have a special steel cover that stops the surface from getting hotter than 43 degrees Celsius. Inside the cover is a powerful emitter that heats the air. This warm air flows out through vents to heat your room comfortably without the risk of burning anyone who touches the radiator.
Why should I choose the Witton LST Column Radiator for my space?
The Witton LST is a top choice because it combines safety with strength. It is built from heavy duty steel so it can handle bumps in busy places like schools or corridors. It gives you peace of mind because it prevents burns while still keeping the room warm. It also comes with a 10 year guarantee which means it is built to last a long time.
Are these radiators safe for children and nurseries?
Yes these are the best radiators for children. Standard radiators can get hot enough to burn delicate skin in seconds. The Witton LST stays cool enough to touch safely. This makes them perfect for nurseries, schools, and children's bedrooms where kids might accidentally fall or lean against the heater.
Do Witton radiators meet NHS safety guidelines?
Yes the Witton range is fully compliant with NHS guidelines. They meet the strict requirements for safe hot water and surface temperatures. This makes them the ideal heating solution for hospitals, doctors surgeries, and dental clinics where patient safety is the number one priority.
What is the difference between Witton Type 11 and Type 22 radiators?
The main difference is the heat output and depth. Type 11 is a single panel radiator which is slimmer and great for narrow spaces. Type 22 is a double panel radiator which is deeper and produces much more heat. If you have a large room or a cold space you should choose the Type 22 for extra warmth.
How hot does the surface of a Witton LST radiator get?
The surface temperature of the outer casing is designed not to exceed 43 degrees Celsius. This is considered a safe temperature that will not cause scalds or burns if you touch it. The internal parts get hot to create heat but the safety cover keeps the outside cool and safe for everyone.
Can I install these safety radiators in my home?
Absolutely. While they are famous for use in schools and hospitals many people install them in family homes. They are excellent for grandmothers annexes, playrooms, or any home with young children or elderly family members. They look neat and tidy and provide excellent safety for your loved ones.
Are Witton LST radiators difficult to install?
No they are designed for easy installation. They connect to your central heating pipes just like a normal radiator. The outer casing is simple to fit over the internal emitter. However we always recommend using a qualified plumber to ensure it is fitted correctly and works efficiently.
Will an LST radiator heat my room as well as a normal one?
Yes it will heat your room very effectively. Some people think a cool surface means no heat but that is not true. The Witton LST uses convection to draw cold air in at the bottom and push warm air out at the top. This circulates heat around the room evenly and can warm up a space very quickly.
Do these radiators help prevent bacteria and germs?
Yes hygiene is a big benefit of the Witton LST. The casing has a smooth surface that is very easy to wipe clean. This is important in care homes and hospitals where stopping the spread of germs is vital. You can clean them easily with a damp cloth to keep the environment healthy.
What sizes are available in the Witton LST range?
We offer a huge range of sizes to fit any wall. You can get heights from 300mm up to 600mm and widths from 400mm up to 1400mm. Whether you need a small radiator for a bathroom or a large one for a classroom there is a Witton size that will fit perfectly.
Are these radiators energy efficient?
Yes the Witton LST is an energy efficient heating choice. Because they use a low water content emitter they heat up faster than old cast iron radiators. This gives you better control over your heating and can help reduce energy bills because the boiler does not have to work as hard to get the room to the right temperature.
Do I need to paint the radiator cover?
No the Witton LST comes finished in a high quality white powder coating. It is ready to install straight away and looks clean and modern. However if you want to match a specific wall color the surface is primed and ready so you can paint it any color you like.
Is the Witton LST radiator suitable for care homes?
Yes it is the number one choice for care homes. Elderly residents often have thinner skin that burns easily. A standard radiator can cause serious injury if a resident falls against it. The Witton LST eliminates this risk completely making the environment safe and comfortable for all residents.
Does the price include the radiator valves?
Radiator valves are usually sold separately. This is because you might need different types depending on your pipes. You can choose thermostatic valves which allow you to control the temperature of each radiator individually. We recommend adding these to your order to get the best efficiency.
How do I know what size radiator I need?
You should not guess the size. You need to calculate the BTU requirement for your room. This measures how much heat is needed to keep the space warm. You can use our free BTU calculator on the website. Just enter your room measurements and it will tell you exactly which Witton model has enough power.
What happens if the radiator gets damaged?
The Witton LST is built to be very tough. The casing is made from strong steel that resists dents and scratches. However if the casing does get damaged in a very busy area you can often replace just the cover without having to replace the whole heating system which saves money.
Why is convection heating better for large rooms?
Convection heating moves air around the room rather than just radiating heat from a hot surface. This means warm air reaches the corners of the room faster. For large classrooms or open plan offices this is much better because it ensures everyone stays warm no matter where they are sitting.
Are Witton LST radiators compatible with heat pumps?
Yes these radiators can work with modern heating systems including heat pumps. Because heat pumps run at lower temperatures you might need a larger radiator surface area to get the same warmth. The Witton Type 22 is often a great match for these eco friendly systems due to its high output.
How quickly can I get these radiators delivered?
We offer quick delivery on the Witton range because we know safety cannot wait. Most standard sizes are in stock and ready to ship to UK mainland addresses. Check the specific product page for exact delivery times but we always aim to get your safety heating to you as fast as possible.
