What material is a radiator?

Radiators are commonly made of metal, with aluminum and copper being popular choices due to their excellent thermal conductivity. Steel is also used for some radiators due to its durability and affordability. Plastic components may also be present in modern radiators for certain functionalities.


how hot are home radiators to touch?

Home radiators can reach temperatures between 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit (49-60 degrees Celsius). However, this can vary based on the type of heating system and the specific radiator design. It is important to exercise caution when touching radiators to avoid burns.


Can you use a horizontal radiator vertically?

No, horizontal radiators are designed to work in a horizontal position and may not function effectively if installed vertically. Vertical radiators are specifically engineered to allow proper water flow and ensure efficient heat distribution, so it's best to use radiators in the orientation they are intended for.


Why are central heating radiators made of metal?

Metal is a good conductor of heat, allowing the radiator to efficiently transfer heat from the hot water circulating inside to the surrounding air. Metal radiators are also durable and can withstand the high temperatures and pressure of the heating system. Additionally, metal radiators can be easily shaped and formed to suit different sizes and styles.
