K3 radiators have come into their own in recent years as the number of low temperature, renewable heating systems being installed has grown, with more than 60,000 heat pumps installed in the UK in the past year. Lower temperature heating systems can require larger radiators to achieve the comfort heating levels in a home, and in some homes installing larger radiators may be a problem if the wall space does not allow for them.
In these situations, K3 radiators from Stelrad – with three panels and three sets of fins - are an ideal solution – providing 50% more metal heating surface than a standard K2 for example, but from the same size radiator footprint. Alongside better levels of insulation, these radiators can provide the solution required to keep the temperature at the level needed in a home. An alternative solution is the use of vertical radiators which have also grown hugely in popularity, another way of providing larger metal surfaces but in a radiator that takes up wall space form top to bottom of a room rather along the length of a wall space.
Radiators are very much fit for the future and offer a simple to fit, effective heating appliance for new build and replacement heating systems.
