How to choose the style radiator for your home
There are many styles of radiators available online and in shops today. Traditional column radiators, flat panel radiators, towel radiators for bathrooms or modern aluminum panel radiators. Choose a radiator that suits the style of your room or home, modern style homes would require either something conventional like a panel style radiator or a more traditional cottage style home would require a radiator like horizontal column radiators or cast radiators, some modern homes suit a traditional look if done correctly this is another area where you could use the column radiators but creating a modern feel by using the tall vertical column radiators that can be supplied in white and then painted to suit the color and décor of the room. As a rule of thumb designer sleek looking radiators look great in your home by adding a focal point to the room, but the draw back on buying a designer radiator is low heat output, making your home colder in winter and costing more money in heating bills due to ineffective low efficiency in your radiators heat output.

How to choose the size of radiators required for your home
Radiators as we all know come in various sizes, there is no defined size of radiator that should be used in your home because it is the heat output of the radiator that is important factor. All radiators are generally placed under windows to warm the cold air as it enters the window area; radiators are also located near doorways to again warm the cold air that circulates throughout the house. You can take into account that if your home is well insulated with good draft free windows, you then have open options for the placement of the radiator on any wall. This is great if your want to create a designer look room or just want to organize the room better, in most cases it is a fairly inexpensive job to move the radiator pipe work so you get to pick the correct size radiator to suit your room.

How to choose the correct Heat output (Btu`s) radiator to heat your room
All radiators have a temputure output rating called Btu`s (British thermal units) or another rating is called watts. When buying any radiator always check the btus or watts of a radiator as these will give you the correct output you need to heat your room. If you don’t understand how to calculate the btus required for a room you 1st need to calculate the size of the room, width, length, height you then need to calculate the insulation levels. This is all no easy task, this is why it’s best to use an online Btu calculator like ………….. Recommended. Just enter some simple information into a few fields then you have your btus and watts so you know what is the correct heat output radiator for your room.

Problems with old wall ties can be picked up on a structural survey – a hole is drilled into the wall and a camera is used to survey the cavity. Fortunately there are companies who specialise in this work, as this issue can affect your mortgage decision.

Some older buildings have pieces of slate to tie the two structures together; again, this is not acceptable under modern building regulations, so they will have to be replaced.

Replacing wall ties is usually done from inside the house – it involves drilling through the inner brick and into the second brick. They then inject a layer of resin, insert the stainless steel wall tie, then inject more resin.

Alternatively, it is possible to use threaded stainless steel rods with special rubber grippers on each end. Once they are inserted you can use a cordless drill to spin the nut on the end and tighten the ends – this forces the rod to grip both the inner and outer wall. With new builds this is much easier – you simply embed the ties into the mortar at specified intervals.
