What type of valve do you need?
You might be surprised to learn that there are a whole range of different styles of radiator valves available. In fact there are probably almost as many types of valve as there are radiators! The type of valve you choose is dependent on your style preference, but also governed by how your pipes connect to your radiator. Straight valves, angled valves and corner valves are the most common types of valves for radiators. What you need for your particular radiator/pipe set up can be established from the diagram below. If you aren't sure, please consult a professional or contact us before placing your order.
What are non-thermostatic and thermostatic radiator valves?
In terms of temperature, there are two types of valve that are most prominent: non-thermostatic and thermostatic radiator valves. Non-thermostatic (or standard) radiator valves allow the radiator to operate at a single temperature. There is no on/off switch so they will allow the radiator to heat up automatically as soon as the central heating is switched on. Non-thermostatic radiator valves are normally very affordable and very easy to install and operate. Thermostatic radiator valves (aka TRVs) allow you to control the temperature on each individual radiator, normally on settings between 0 - 3 or 0 - 5. 0 means the radiator is switched off, 5 allowing the maximum amount of hot water into the radiator to heat the room. TRVs are popular among people who wish to have more control over their central heating system. They're very useful for being able to heat rooms that are used frequently, while not wasting energy in rooms that do not need heating up so often.What style of radiator valves do I need?
It's really a case of what style looks right with your interior design plan as there are a range of valve styles available. There are different shapes such as square valves or oval valves, plus you can choose whether you want clean minimalist lines or something more detailed. There's also a good choice of colours, including white, chrome, black, anthracite, nickel, brass, copper and more. We offer the whole range, you can just decide what colour you'd like.
