Full details
The Riace Vertical Flat Designer Radiator in Grey is designed for homeowners looking to combine modern aesthetic appeal with space-efficient heating solutions. It is an ideal choice for living areas, hallways, or bedrooms where wall space is at a premium, offering a robust 2705 BTU heat output. While it delivers excellent thermal performance, potential buyers should note that as a single-panel unit, it is best suited for targeted heating in medium-sized rooms rather than as the sole heat source for very large open-plan spaces.

Is this radiator suitable for a bathroom?
While it can be used in most rooms, ensure it is installed in a well-ventilated area away from direct water spray to maintain the finish.
Troubleshooting
The radiator is cold at the top.
The radiator likely contains trapped air. Use a radiator key to bleed the valve until water begins to escape, which should restore even heat distribution.
The radiator does not heat up at all.
Check that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is turned to the 'on' position and ensure your central heating system is pressurized correctly.
