During the design or replacement of the heating system, components carefully select, the main issue continues to remain a radiator. Equipment from steel is in demand for a long time, despite the emerging new items, many experts recommend to stop the diversity of the products offered.

Therefore, this article will consider the features and characteristics of steel heating radiators. Many advantages make it possible not to leave the leading position in the market.

Universal application

One of the main arguments is always the efficiency and efficiency of the system, so these instruments have long changed known cast iron analogues due to their characteristics. In stores you can find a wide range of products, products are distinguished by design, color and size. Depending on the appearance and manufacturer there is a corresponding price.

Apply this type of equipment in private homes, apartments and offices, but there is a restriction of the use in wet conditions. To prevent corrosion process radiator must always be filled with water and used for mounting the shut-off valve. Widespread installation of steel appliances due to modern appearance and a good heat transfer at affordability.

Construction varieties

Manufacturers offer two types of radiators:

• panel which are a housing, it circulates the coolant. Such products attract the appearance and ability to quickly heat the environment. Due to the design features, the settings of sectional and convection equipment is achieved. Installation can be carried out directly to the wall or semi. Also distinguished ways to connect to pipe wiring - lower, side and universal. In the first case, the possibility of installing the thermostat remains, and the second method is more common due to the aesthetics of the type and low cost;
• tubular have the form of two collectors interconnected by vertical elements. The main application is administrative buildings and low-rise buildings. The size of the equipment is significantly different, some units reach 3 m in height.

Panel steel heating radiators can have different parameters and manufactured with additional plates. P-shaped elements are welded to the inside of the plates - this is done to increase the surface of the heat transfer. But such a technique has its drawbacks, because the weight of the three-on-panted design is practically no different from cast-iron batteries. Then there is a large amount of water in the equipment, which prevents efficient control of the heating temperature. The disadvantages of panel instruments also include the complexity of purification of internal parts from pollution.

At the same time, tubular steel heating radiators pass a special processing of internal elements with a polymer compound to prevent metal corrosion. They fit perfectly into any interior due to the original design and wide range of colors. In addition, this species is different in terms of hygienic characteristics, because all parts are well cleaned from dirt and dust.

Features and advantages of the form

Experts prefer certain equipment due to the benefits, steel radiators are inherent in the following features:

• holding high pressure and hydrowards through the use of only high-quality metal and assembling products with welding without laying connections. Therefore, they are ideal for use in buildings with an individual heating system, in this case, the products are distinguished by a long service life;
• the simplicity of design contributes to the available cost of aggregates. In addition, it allows you to choose a radiator of optimal sizes for a particular room;
• a variety of connection methods provide the possibility of mounting steel radiators in hard-to-reach places, the simplicity of system maintenance is preserved;
• when buying this type of equipment, the complete set includes communication and fastening items, which gives guaranteed reliability and high mounting speed.

The appearance of steel structures is considered a huge advantage of use, if necessary, you can always achieve an original solution by painting or non-standard accommodation.

Steel heating radiators of certain brands are available with special forms that allow you to fit into any environment. So, there are models where the heating element is mounted in interior partitions or railing for stairs - as a result, the consumer receives functionality in a set with the missing element of the situation.

Price overview and suggestions

In Russia, panel products are practically not available, because the price of steel heating radiators from foreign manufacturers is rather attractive. The most famous companies from Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Finland and Italy are most famous.

The company Kermi thanks to modern technologies offers consumers an excellent quality-price ratio. At the same time, the unique development of equipment coverage allows to preserve the initial type of radiators during the entire operation. The manufacturer releases steel aggregates differing in size and power. For example, the Kermi FKO 22 500 × 600 panel radiator with side connections has an affordable cost of about 100 USD.

Vogel & Noot Austrian radiators are known in Europe with their quality, the production of thermal techniques over 70 years old allowed to make products with improved characteristics. Model Vogel & Noot 22KV 500 × 1000 cost 160 cu refers to the highest class products.

Korado products from Czech Republic are distinguished by the guaranteed reliability, buy steel panel-type radiators for small money. For example, the Korado 22VK 500 × 1200 model costs about 150 cu, and thermostatic valve comes in the kit.

The manufacturer of Purmo manufacturer from Finland is a guarantee of at least 10 years, while the quality of radiators does not cause doubt. The cost of equipment is considered accessible, for Purmo 22C500x600 (1114W) you need to give about 100 cu.
The leading Italian manufacturer is Delonghi, all models are characterized by an attractive cost. For radiator RADEL 22 H500 L \u003d 1100 will have to give about 70 cu.

You can buy steel heating radiators both in a regular construction store and companies engaged in installing thermal equipment. In any case, the market has many products worthy of quality and from domestic producers, the main thing is to correctly select product parameters.
