Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the TRC Ellipsis radiator different from standard radiators?
The TRC Ellipsis is a designer radiator that uses oval shaped tubes instead of the flat panels or round pipes found on old fashioned heaters. This unique oval shape gives it a soft and modern look that acts like a piece of art in your room. It is made by The Radiator Company and is designed to make your home look stylish while keeping it very warm.
What is the difference between Ellipsis Single and Ellipsis Double radiators?
The main difference is the number of tube rows. The Ellipsis Single has one row of tubes and is slimmer, so it does not stick out far from the wall. It is great for narrow hallways. The Ellipsis Double has two rows of tubes, one behind the other. This makes it thicker but it gives out nearly twice as much heat, making it perfect for large living rooms that get very cold.
How do I know which size Ellipsis radiator to buy for my room?
You should not guess the size. You need to use a BTU calculator which measures the heat needed for your specific room size. If you buy a radiator that is too small, your room will stay cold. If it is too big, you will waste money. Measure your room length, width, and height, and check the BTU output listed on the Budget Radiators page to find the perfect match.
Does the TRC Ellipsis radiator come with valves included?
No, the radiator valves are sold separately. This is because every home has different plumbing. You might need pipes that come out of the floor or pipes that come out of the wall. By selling them separately, you can choose the style and color of valves that match your new designer radiator perfectly.
Which radiator valves do I need if my pipes come from the floor?
If your water pipes come up from the floor, you will need Angled Valves. These valves connect the bottom of the radiator to the floor pipes at a 90 degree angle. This ensures the water flows correctly and the installation looks neat and tidy.
Which radiator valves do I need if my pipes come out of the wall?
If your plumbing comes out of the wall behind the radiator, you should buy Corner Valves. These are designed to turn the connection so that the valve head points into the room, making it easy for you to turn the heat up or down.
Can I order the Ellipsis radiator in colors other than white?
Yes, the standard finish is a bright White RAL 9010 which looks clean and matches most rooms. However, the Ellipsis collection offers many other options. You can order custom colors like Anthracite or other special finishes if you want your heating to stand out as a bold feature in your home styling.
Is the Ellipsis radiator energy efficient for my home heating?
Yes, the Ellipsis is designed with high quality steel which heats up well and radiates warmth effectively into the room. Because of the oval tube design, there is a good amount of surface area to release heat. Using Thermostatic Radiator Valves with this model will also help you save energy by turning the heat off when the room reaches the right temperature.
How long is the guarantee on TRC Ellipsis radiators?
When you buy from Budget Radiators, this product comes with a 10 Year Guarantee. This means that if there is a manufacturing fault or a leak caused by how it was built within ten years of purchase, you are covered. It shows that the product is built to last for a long time.
How far does the Single Ellipsis stick out from the wall?
The Single Ellipsis is a great space saver. It has a wall projection of approximately 95mm. This means from the wall to the very front of the radiator, it measures less than 10 centimeters. This slim profile is excellent for corridors or behind doors where you do not want to bump into it.
How far does the Double Ellipsis project from the wall?
The Double Ellipsis is chunkier because it has two rows of tubes. It projects about 125mm from the wall. While it takes up a little more space, the trade off is that it provides massive heat output, which is often needed for bigger rooms with high ceilings or large windows.
Why is my new radiator cold at the top but hot at the bottom?
This is a common problem called trapped air. Air bubbles can get stuck inside the top of the tubes and stop hot water from filling the whole radiator. You can fix this easily by bleeding the radiator. Use a radiator key to slightly open the bleed valve at the top until you hear air hissing out. Close it quickly once water starts to trickle out.
What is the best way to clean my Ellipsis radiator?
You should clean it only when it is cold. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe away dust from the oval tubes. Do not use rough sponges or strong chemical cleaners because they can scratch the paint or damage the finish. Keeping it dust free helps the heat flow better.
Can I install the Ellipsis radiator on a plasterboard wall?
These radiators are made of steel and can be heavy, especially the Double models. If you have a plasterboard or stud wall, you must find the wooden studs behind the plaster to screw the brackets into. If you cannot find studs, the wall might not be strong enough to hold the weight, so you should ask a professional installer for advice.
Do you offer free delivery on these radiators?
Yes, Budget Radiators offers free delivery to addresses on the UK mainland. This helps keep your renovation costs down. Delivery times can vary depending on whether you choose a stock size or a made to order custom color, so always check the estimated date on the product page.
What material is the TRC Ellipsis made from?
The Ellipsis collection is manufactured from high quality Mild Steel. Steel is the most common material for radiators because it is strong, durable, and very good at holding heat. This means your room stays warm for a little while even after the central heating turns off.
What are Thermostatic Radiator Valves and should I get them?
Thermostatic Radiator Valves, or TRVs, are smart controls that let you set a specific temperature number for the room. They detect the room heat and automatically adjust the water flow. We highly recommend them for the Ellipsis radiator because they prevent overheating and save you money on energy bills.
Why should I choose a horizontal radiator over a vertical one?
Horizontal radiators like the Ellipsis Horizontal are traditional and fit perfectly under windows. Placing a radiator under a window is a smart idea because it warms up the cold air falling from the glass before it moves into the room. This helps eliminate cold drafts and keeps the temperature even.
What happens if my radiator arrives damaged?
It is very important to inspect your goods as soon as they arrive. If you see any damage to the box or the radiator inside, you must report it to Budget Radiators within 3 working days. We advise you not to book a plumber until you have checked that your product is in perfect condition.
Does Budget Radiators offer a price match on the Ellipsis range?
Yes, we want to give you the best deal. If you find the exact same TRC Ellipsis radiator for a cheaper price on another website, we offer a Price Match Guarantee. This ensures you get high quality designer heating at the lowest possible cost.
