Vertical Radiators UK Popular Questions

Are Vertical Radiators As Efficient As Horizontal Radiators?

Regardless of their orientation, if they have the same dimensions, they will be practically the same. Horizontal and vertical settings provide the same service; to bring warmth and comfort to your home whilst also adding style and value to your space.

To decide which is more suitable, a careful evaluation of the size, shape and function of a room will help you to decide which is the best option for you. This also depends on materials of the radiators, an aluminium radiator will heat up faster than a stainless steel vertical model, however a stainless steel radiator will retain heat for longer. If you decide to choose a panel radiator the heat varies with size, the depth of a double panel vertical radiator will provide much more heat output than a single. However a double takes up much more space than a single so it is dependent on your space.

Another thing to consider when looking at horizontal and vertical radiators is the space in your room and if the radiator will be blocked by furniture or appliances. In some cases, it can be more cost effective to have a vertical radiator installed instead if you have a horizontal radiator covered or blocked by furniture like a sofa. The heat output of your radiator can be negatively affected if your radiator is blocked, so a vertical radiator design lowers the chance of having the whole radiator covered by furniture.
