Convector radiators are a practical and affordable solution for anyone looking to heat a small space easily. When you have a box room or space where the radiator has to be placed in an awkward location, you’ll want to save as much space as possible.
If this is the case for you, you may want to look at getting a Type 11 radiator.
Trade Radiators has several Type 11 radiators perfect for any room, in a number of different finishes.

What is a Type 11 Radiator?
Type 11 (commonly pronounced “one-one”) are single panel convector radiators with a row of fins behind the panel i.e. one panel, one row.
How do I know if I have a Type 11 Radiator?
If your radiator has a single panel and row of fins, it is Type 11. if the fins are between two panels, you have a Type 21 radiator.
And if your double panel radiator has two sets of fins in the middle, you have a Type 22 radiator.
How do Type 11 Radiators work?
When a Type 11 radiator is on, the panel heats the fins at the back. As cold air in your room goes underneath the radiator, it rises and heats before being circulated through the top of the radiator.
When Should You Choose a Type 11 Radiator?
This section should explain when it’s best to choose one type over another.
This type of radiator is ideal when working with smaller rooms. If you’re looking to get a new compact radiator for a box room or toilet, their minimum depth helps stop the radiator from becoming an intrusion.
They’re also good if you need a radiator in a room that requires a low BTU.
