TOP 14 the best heating radiators according to customer reviews

Today, retail chains and stores offer four types of heating radiators. The models differ in thermal conductivity, heat transfer, properties and price. We understood the nuances inherent in each species and prepared the TOP-14 best models for 2020 year. pay attention, that almost all radiators are sold in sections. This allows you to dial the required number of sections, taking into account power and heat transfer, to ensure the optimum temperature in each room.

TOP 4 aluminum heating radiators

Aluminum batteries have the highest thermal conductivity and rapid heating through thin walls. They are recommended for heating a private house: they are simple and economical (closed autonomous system). But aluminum is sensitive to water quality, prone to corrosion, therefore not used in systems, where a long stay without water is provided (how, example, drain of the heat carrier for the summer in apartments of high-rise buildings).

TOP-2 cast iron heating radiators

Cast iron radiators can be purchased in sections, dialing the required amount for the room. Cast iron has a lower heating rate, but long-term heat retention when the heating is turned off. The batteries can withstand more pressure, than steel, surpass them in strength. Such radiators are less prone to corrosion, can be installed in open systems and apartment buildings. But they do not look very attractive, require painting – this is a small minus.

STI New 500 x10

Cast iron radiators provide a standard wheelbase – 500 mm. Connection – 1 inch. They differ significantly from aluminum and bimetal, what to consider when installing. One section weighs 4,2 kg. Larger volume of water in one section – 0,52 l. Designed to work at a coolant temperature up to 150 ° C. Withstand pressure up to 12 there is (18 there is – when crimping). For heat transfer are inferior to steel radiators – 1200 W.
