Type 11 radiators are the ultimate slimline heating solution for modern UK homes. Commonly referred to as "one-one" radiators, these units consist of a single front panel with a single row of convection fins welded to the back. This specific construction allows for a minimum wall projection, making them the premier choice for narrow hallways, box rooms, and cloakrooms.
At Trade Radiators, we stock an extensive range of Type 11 models that balance discreet design with high thermal efficiency. Browse our collection today to find a space-saving radiator that fits your room's dimensions perfectly.
How Do Type 11 Radiators Work?
When your central heating is active, the single front panel heats the conductor fins at the back. As cold air enters from the bottom of the radiator, it is warmed by these fins, rises through the top grille, and circulates throughout the room. This convection process ensures a rapid rise in temperature despite the radiator's slim profile.
When to Choose Type 11 Over Other Models
If your room has a low BTU requirement or very limited floor space, Type 11 is the most efficient choice. While a Type 22 radiator provides more power, it also protrudes significantly further from the wall. Type 11 is ideal for installation under low windowsills or behind doors where every millimetre of depth matters.
