There are far more factors to consider when installing radiators in a commercial or public sector building. Issues of public liability, economy, functionality. While it’s true that residential radiators still need to be efficient and functional, it is taken to a whole new level in the commercial space. Even the smallest increase in efficiency in an individual radiator can mean vast savings throughout the year when you’re talking about a hotel or University. At No1PHD, we can help you ensure you find the perfect balance between economy, functionality, and aesthetics when you have your radiators installed by us. And all our work is guaranteed, for that extra peace of mind.
The quick answer is; “it depends”. No heating solution, commercial or residential, is perfect for every situation. Radiators would not be practical in a large open space, for example, such as a high-ceiling workshop or warehouse. But for classrooms, offices, some retail floors, and a range of other commercial and public sector spaces around Southampton, they are a great heating solution. At No1PHD, we can evaluate your specific circumstances for you. You won’t have to make any decisions uninformed.
LST—or Low Surface Temperature—radiators are a special type of radiator designed specifically for commercial use. As the name suggests, they keep the external surface temperatures low (typically no higher than 43°C) while still heating the space beyond. This prevents the risk of customers, guests, staff, or patients from injuring themselves on a hot radiator. No organisation relishes the chance of a damages claim because a customer scolded their hand on a radiator. LST radiators are encased in an outer shell that allows the surface temperature to remain cool enough to touch. This casing can be tailored to suit the aesthetic of your property. They are also robust; built with durability in mind to withstand more than a typical residential radiator ever could. If you would like more information about installing LST radiators at your organisation, contact No1PHD today on 01425 208031.
There are several reasons why radiators are the preferred heating method for many commercial and public sector premises.
Again, it’s worth reiterating that your situation dictates how effective radiators would be. For example, the large sections of piping mentioned above would not be an issue in a warehouse where they can be hung high above the workspace and the appearance isn’t as important. Talking to a No1PHD expert can help you determine which system best suits your situation. And the level of maintenance required may also play a factor in what’s right for your organisation.
