So I've been looking at Stelrad radiators as I have at least one in need of replacement.
From what I understood the Elite is their "base" radiator and the Compact and Softline are essentially Elites with side panels and grilles fitted?
However I've noticed that their Softline range come with a 15 year warranty whereas the Elite and Compact are 10 year. I'm not bothered about the warranty but is this purely a marketing thing rather than the Softline actually being superior?
As it happens, I prefer the look of the Softline grilles so will probably go with those anyway, however I notice that the power output is slightly less - is this purely that the panels disrupt the heat dissipation slightly but otherwise as I've mentioned above they're the same?
