Domestic situation. 7 rads required.
Stelrad Compact type (enclosed convectors) Screwfix seem the keenest online. Anyone come across any choice prices or offers? Cheers |

I was going to get some Stelrads from http://www.bhl.co.uk/shop/ but instead, I got a better deal on some Biasi rads from my local plumbers merchant. Dave |

They're the brand sold by B&Q, so make your own conclusions. http://discountedheating.co.uk/ are a discounted seller for Plumbcenter - and I mean 40-60% discount - have a look there & maybe get some quality gear (Stelrad, Myson) at a reasonable price. I bought from them for my system & used Stelrad Elite radiators in the P+ style; that's 2 radiator panels with a single convector element between, which I found less obtrusive that the more commonly used double (panel) convector. See the site for details. -- fred |

They were selling those off about a year ago and now stock some brand beginning with 'B' but can't remember the whole name. Looked a bit crap IMO. |

Bought a screwfix rad about a year ago for the bathroom. I wouldn't
recommend them as it's got loads of rust at the bottom now. I wouldn't be surprised if it starts leaking soon. Got B&Q ones for the rest of the house and they seem fine. I had one in the bathroom for about as long (replaced due to new bathroom) and it didn't rust half as much - although in my opinion if it was of any quality it wouldn't have rusted at all.

I wouldn't recommend Barlo (as found in Wickes) for the same reason. The paint was clearly applied with the panel sat on its base, leaving a poorly finished bottom seam. I had two rust away in the bathroom as a result. Switched to a Stelrad unit from B&Q. Much better paint finish, although it is noticeably creamy-white. Still, beats rust brown... -- My computer has a nut loose on the keyboard. Mail john rather than nospam... |
