Vertical radiators
Today, the variety of heating devices is quite large, which allows you to choose a device that is suitable for any room and any heating system. If you have standard windows, ceiling heights up to three meters and a small area of the room, you can choose conventional panel or sectional radiators. But what to do if panoramic windows are installed, the height or area of the room is quite large, and the space for heating devices is limited? In this case, standard radiators are not suitable and other heating devices have to be installed. These include: floor convectors and radiators of non-standard sizes. In this article, we will take a look at vertical heating radiators. What is it?
Vertical radiators are heating devices characterized by high height and small width. In terms of functionality, such devices do not differ much from ordinary ones; they can also be panel, sectional or tubular. The connection of such devices can be bottom, side or diagonal. Due to the fact that heating occurs along the entire vertical of the radiator, greater convection is provided and a more uniform and faster heat distribution is provided. The small width of the radiators allows them to be installed in narrow niches and places with limited space. Such appliances have an elegant appearance and are quite affordable (compared to other non-standard heating appliances). Tall radiators are ideal for panoramic windows and roof doors as they cover most of the glazing height. Large windows visually enlarge the premises, and in rooms where there are no windows (hallways, dressing rooms, bathrooms, corridors), more can be done with the help of vertical radiators. They not only free up space at the bottom of the room, but also give the visualization a greater height.
Installation of high heating devices does not differ much from standard ones, but some rules must be followed. The first thing to consider is that, due to their non-standard dimensions, most of these devices have significant weight. Accordingly, installation should be carried out only on solid walls and it is not recommended to install on partitions and walls made of non-durable materials (plasterboard, plywood). Also, it is worth considering the connection features. With the bottom connection, there are no special problems, since the pipes are located in one place. With lateral or diagonal connection, the pipes are located far enough from each other (the distance depends on the height of the radiator). In this case, it is necessary to make the piping in advance and, if possible, brick them up in the station
