      Vertical Designer Radiators FAQs

      Vertical Designer radiators work the same as horizontal designer radiators. This is because we install an additional piece inside a designer vertical radiator called a flow diverter.

      This ensures that the hot water travels around the entire radiator raising the internal temperature.

      No, vertical radiators do not take longer to heat up. They have a flow diverter that ensures they heat up in the same way as horizontal radiators.

      There is no specific or unique requirement for vertical radiators vs horizontal radiators. 

      For any radiator, you need to leave enough space to work with piping and valves and so the radiator isn’t directly touching anything like the skirting board. There also needs to be a bit of space between the bottom of the radiator and the floor to allow air flow.

      As an easy to follow rule: at least 10cm above the ground or 1-2cm above the skirting board, whichever is higher. This is usually a good guide to see if the radiator will fit, but this requirement may change from home to home and could be lower or even slightly higher.

      Vertical radiators are a great way of making the most out of limited space in small or heavily furnished rooms. They can be placed wherever is suitable for your room.

      Yes, but this will always depend on whether you have enough space. Most experienced plumbers will have zero issues taking your old horizontal radiator and replacing it with an ultra-modern vertical radiator.
