The
radiator was invented by a Russian man named Franz San Galli. Old
radiators were made up of cast iron. However with advancement in
technology aluminium radiators and stainless steel radiators also
came up in the market. Gradually their designs also modified and
demand for attractive radiators increased in the market. Choosing
radiators depends on the interior of your home. How you have designed
your home matters a lot. If you have designed your home in a
traditional style choose a traditional type of radiator made up of
cast iron. But if you are looking for something that is modern then
flat panel radiators are a good option.
Radiators
transfer thermal energy in order to heat up the surroundings. They
are also used to dry wet clothes. While choosing a radiator do not
depend only on its appearance. A good featured radiator is more
appropriate than the good appearing one. Do not consider its design
only but also account for the types of heating it offers. Depending
upon the heat generated from it choose the one that suits you the
best. Vertical and horizontal designer radiators that warm up
the floor are also in the market that will keep your feel warm. If
the material of floor in your house is good conductor of heat then
installing under floor heating is advisable. This can be done by
installing a pipe network below the floor which will in turn keep
your feet warm like a toast. This installation is tricky as well as
expensive but the benefits will outweigh all the cost incurred.
If you
want to update the style of your house then choose newly designed
radiators. Choosing the right design is important that will
complement the furniture of your home thus you have to be careful
while choosing radiators as they will be an investment of long term.
These days refinishing an antique radiator at a low price has become
very easy. One of the ways is to coat radiators with powder that is
like a paint giving an automotive finish.
The
other thing is selecting a designed radiator cover if you do not want
to invest in an expensive radiator. Replacing or refinishing an old
radiator can lead you in long bills thus selecting a cover that can
be easily installed over the radiator and removed whenever required
cleaning it. This retains the heat of the radiator making the room
warmer.
Check
the generator used in the radiator. It is not always that the larger
size of the radiator will generate more heat. It depends on the
capacity of the generator. If this generator absorbs too much of
electricity it will release long bills. Devices that rely on forced
or natural convection are known as an electric convector radiators. These can also be installed on your walls.
The
main thing while installing a radiator is the wall. See that the wall
is strong enough to carry the load of the radiator or else the size
of the radiator is small enough to stay on the wall.
