Heating

In our country, most of the territory is located in a cold climate, so the heating system of apartments and houses is an essential element of their arrangement. With its help, it is possible to establish not only comfortable conditions for living, but also for work.

Today we will talk about vertical heating radiators, which were designed for interiors that are unable to fit traditional batteries. These devices have an attractive design and good technical characteristics.

Kinds

The construction market is ready to respond to any demands of consumers by offering various models of heating devices, including the original and non-standard style.

At the same time, bulky traditional batteries do not always fit into the interior, for which they are masked with decorative grilles or screens, forgetting that this can lead to a deterioration of the microclimate in a building.

Tip: using vertical radiators you can be sure that they were designed to suit various interior design options.

  1. Due to the well thought-out appearance of vertical radiators for home heating, there is no need to worry about decorating them.
  2. You can choose products of various sizes and shapes, with interesting configurations and bends.

  1. The market offers the following designs:
    • sectional;
    • tubular;
    • panel.
    1. The material of manufacture is:
      • steel;
      • cast iron;
      • aluminum.

      Tip: you will be able to significantly increase the range of use of heating devices of the vertical type due to the variety of options. For example, they are suitable for individual systems, and as elements of central heating.

      Steel vertical heating devices

      Let us consider in more detail the types of vertical radiators, depending on the material from which they were made:

      Steel
      1. Have a great look.
      2. Often you can meet non-standard designs, due to the fact that steel lends itself to processing.
      3. The price of products is moderate, due to which they are available to a wide range of consumers.

      Among the shortcomings should be noted weak corrosion resistance.
      Cast iron
      1. Buy products can people with different incomes.
      2. They are reliable and durable in operation.
      3. The design is offered in sections. Therefore, buyers can independently complete the battery, depending on their requirements.

      The main disadvantage is a large mass.
      Bimetallic
      1. Have an attractive appearance.
      2. They have good technical parameters.
      3. Basically they are made from an alloy of aluminum and copper, but there are other combinations.

      The main disadvantage is the high cost of products.
      Aluminum
      1. The instruction assumes the service life of radiators up to 30 years.
      2. They resist corrosion processes well and endure aggressive environments.
      3. The light weight of the sections, even completely filled with coolant, allows the use of lightweight fasteners.
      4. Products are easy to transport and assemble.

      Tip: Not all vertical type radiators can be installed in central heating systems. We recommend that you get expert advice before purchasing them in order to avoid problems in the future.

      Benefits

      The main difference from standard radiators is the shape, otherwise they resemble each other.

      Below we consider the advantages of products:

      1. Large selection of radiators vertical type in the construction market in form, configuration and color.
      2. Compactness, so there is more space at the bottom of the premises.
      3. Various assortment of mounts, allowing to emphasize the decorativeness of heating devices.
      4. Easy installation, which can be done with your own hands even without special skills. It is enough to follow the rules and wiring diagram.
      5. Wall mounting, which is especially useful when you need to remove the battery under the windows.
      Inverter heating can work autonomously
      1. Considerable heat exchange area, as on the wall it is quite simple to find a place for their installation.

      disadvantages

      From the negative we can note the following:

      1. The cost, as most of these radiators are made to order, so it will be higher than the serial.
      2. Work efficiency also leaves much to be desired, due to the fact that a lot of heat will accumulate under the ceiling, not participating in convection processes.

      Tip: Install products as close to the floor as possible.

      Installation feature

      It was said above that such products basically do not differ from the standard ones, because they represent only their modification, therefore there are no difficulties with their installation.

      Below, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with several features of devices that need to be taken into account during installation:

      1. Large volume radiators are heavier than standard ones, so fasten them to the supporting wall, because decorative partitions and walls will not be able to bear their weight.
      2. Use bottom flow and bottom heat dissipation. A pipeline going up will not always look beautiful, although you can just hide it in a wall.
      Wall mounted radiator options
      1. Pipelines may be of reinforced polypropylene or steel pipes. Do not use copper pipes in combination with aluminum radiators. Otherwise, due to the salts in the coolant, conditions will arise that will destroy them.

      Tip: install shut-off valves on the main pipelines, with which you can adjust the temperature independently in each room.

      1. Do not forget to install Mayevsky's crane on wall registers.

      Conclusion

      The heating system should first heat the room, and then look beautiful. At the same time, vertical radiators cope well with such tasks. You just have to choose the right size and number of sections. The video in the article will help you find additional information on this topic.
