Help with Radiator Choice

[Nezzer]

Hi there I am currently looking to replace 5 radiators with new convector ones and am finding it hard to decide between buying some Delonghi rads from an online store or i can get some Kartel K rad compact ones cheaper from my local plumbing store.

They both are quoting similar heat output and look very similar, has anyone ever had any experience with using the K rads?

Thanks in advance for any replies

i always fit the common radiators from local merchants and are fine.
if the customer requests a certain radiator only then will i fit different type.
there white and have panels so there all pretty much the same, just depends on how much you want to spend

Hi, I'm a qualified heating engineer in Blackpool, where abouts are you? I've mainly used Stelrad elite but when using a cheaper brand i've not noticed much (if any) difference in quality or btu's.... so it comes down to personal (or customer's) choice.

stelrads are good but there a bit more harsh on your cash than the others!

Standard rads are all much of a muchness now quality wise,was a crack down about 10 years ago or so when some makes were becoming paper thin and an industry standard thickness and quality brought out,probably made in the same factory in italy,so it is just a matter of the style you like and spending that extra £15.00 on inhibitor for the system

imho
