Glass Radiators

Glass radiators offer ultra modern and aesthetically pleasing central heating improvements. Glass radiators’ energy efficient features and slim fit design make the old traditional radiators a thing of the past.

What are glass radiators?

Glass radiators use infrared technology to produce comfortable, energy-efficient heat. The infrared heat produced by glass radiators is absorbed by surfaces, objects and people within a room so the heat is retained, keeping the room cosy and dry for longer.

On the other hand, traditional convector heaters warm the air, but their outdated heating technology doesn’t keep rooms warm for long enough.

Besides being energy efficient, glass radiator’s infrared heating keeps dust and bacteria to a minimum. It produces a healthier, cleaner atmosphere making these radiators the ideal solution for medical environments and allergy sufferers.

Glass radiators are extremely durable and are have ultra safe shatterproof glass.

Glass radiators rely on electricity

Glass radiators rely on electricity which allows them to incorporate innovative touch screen controls – clear, responsive and pre-programmed settings, designed for simplistic comfort. One-touch quickly sets your desired temperature to an even heat output to maintain the room temperature.

Wireless remote control is included for easy 7 day timer programming. All our glass radiators have an antifreeze setting that protects the room from falling below 5-7ºC, plus a useful drying function which switches the unit on for a pre-set time of 2 hours.

Their isolation class 2 and IP construction makes them water-resistant so they are perfect for wet rooms and bathrooms, and the triple safety element means that there’s no chance of overheating.

Glass radiators are environmentally friendly

Beautifully designed and adaptable for all central heating systems, glass radiators are 100% environmentally friendly, made entirely from recycled materials and ideal as a direct replacement of an existing panel radiator.

Powered by an aluminium heat exchanger, the low water content allows it to adapt quickly to changes in temperature. This substantially reduces heating and cooling times making it efficient, economical to run and an ideal option when used with renewable energy systems.

In addition, glass radiators are corrosion-resistant, they are safety tested at 10 bar pressure, the water pressure in your home will normally be well under 5 bar.

Glass radiators come in a variety of designs

There are a range of standard options from different colours to different shapes and sizes to suit all homes and businesses.
