Why the homeowner chose a Grant Afinia radiator
Choosing an appropriate heat emitter to warm a room while also being in keeping with the design of the space is a balance that more and more homeowners are looking for. When a family decided to redecorate their children’s bedroom, they not only wanted to paint the walls and update the furniture, but they also wanted to change the radiator that was previously installed. “When we redecorated the room, it was the ideal time for us to replace the old radiator with a better looking, more efficient model,” writes the homeowner. “We wanted a radiator that would complement the room design, keep the space comfortable and warm, and also it was essential that the radiator was appropriate for a children’s bedroom.”
What are the features of the Afinia radiator?
Grant UK’s Afinia range of aluminium radiators are stylish, effective and suitable for installation with traditional fossil fuel boiler systems, such as gas boilers, as well as low-temperature renewable heating systems, such as air source heat pumps. Features of the Afinia radiators include:
- Made from aluminium which is a better conductor of heat compared to other radiator materials, such as cast iron or steel
- Horizontal and vertical radiator models available to suit different sizes of wall space
- Low water content which makes Afinia radiators highly responsive to changes in temperature demand, warming up and cooling down quickly.
For this family, they opted for a horizontal eight section Afinia aluminium radiator to replace the traditional steel radiator that was originally in the room. Aluminium has better thermal conductivity compared to materials such as steel and cast iron so this, combined with their low water content, makes the Grant Afinia radiator more efficient than the steel radiator previously fitted. Furthermore, the installation of the radiator was quick and simple too – light in weight, supplied with robust wall brackets and with no electrics required, this Afinia model was fitted to the wall within half an hour.
The homeowner’s review of their Afinia radiator
The Afinia radiator was installed in 2021 and the family are delighted with their choice. “The room is always warm and cosy,” comments the homeowner. “What is perfect about this Afinia radiator is that it does not get too hot to the touch making it an ideal, safe solution for an environment where children play and sleep. The radiator also looks more modern and sleek compared to the previous one which felt like such an eye-sore.”
