6 November 2023
You can use Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) to help balance your hot water central heating system especially when introducing a new radiator type.
Considering adding a new designer radiator?
People choose to buy designer radiators for a variety of reasons, predominantly it’s a choice driven by the aesthetic appeal relevant to the space to be heated. A key driver for people choosing to buy a designer radiator is it can complement the restyling of a space and serve as a statement piece, contributing to the overall ambiance and theme of the room.
Home improvement projects, functionality, and lifestyle
It could be you've bought a new house and want to put your mark on it, you're having an extension or simply want to refresh a room. Restyling a room in a home can be influenced by a variety of factors, ranging from practical needs to personal preferences. But, if you are adding new radiators to an existing system, then make sure you buy TRV's with your designer radiator. This will ensure that you choose TRVs that are suitable for your specific radiator and heating setup.
TRVs contribute to the look and performance of your new radiator
TRVs are often overlooked when selecting a designer radiator, but they can contribute to the look you want to achieve plus provide substantial functional benefits. TRV's can have a contemporary look, feature sleek lines, minimalist designs, and finishes that align with your interior design theme. More importantly TRVs allow you to control the temperature of the rooms where they are located. This is because they automatically regulate the heat output of the new radiator. TRVs sense the room temperature and adjust the radiator's heat output accordingly, ensuring that the room remains at the desired temperature without overheating.
TRVs give you the control to balance the system
Balancing a central heating system after adding a new radiator can present several challenges that need to be addressed to ensure efficient and even heat distribution throughout the entire system. Whether you have employed the services of a plumber or installed the new radiator yourself, the likelihood is the balancing will still need fine tuning. TRVs give you the control to balance the system and fine-tune each radiator's heat contribution, promoting even heat distribution, energy efficiency, and optimal system performance.
