radiators-is ther any difference in quality or all the same.

[d.o.n.]

hi-im after fitting a brand new system to my property being a worcester 30cdi greenstar and now am after rads as the old ones are single convectors and approx 30 years old-so thinking of renewing for all double convectors.
just wondering if there are any radiators better made than others as been looking at a make called airfel and another called quinn-just want to know if these are anygood as with everyhing i suppose there is good makes and bad makes-just after a bit of advice as im a bit of a novice..

thanx don

Quinn I beleive use to be Barlo radiators , refered to as round tops eg the top of the rad is rolled as opposed to a welded seam type radiator , steel rads or ally rads are available at a price ?? generally use the De'Longhi rads myself come with grills ! there are of course numerous styles column rads ect so on & so forth , cost & looks there bye take your choice ??

not much difference apart from quality of finish.

I use plumb center's own brand of rads. really good quality finish, its a round top upside down with panels on, so no sharp edges on show. They sell them at exactly the same price trade or not and they will have one on display in the branch and a fixed price list to take away.

Do Barlo still have that stupid system where the bleeding screw sits in a rad panel? If so, stay well away from them, they are pants.
Cheaper rads can be a bit less in finish quality.
