If they are just Chrome and not Stainless Steel they are likely to rust,I made that mistake and I wasn't taking any chances so I ended up buying another that was Stainless Steel before we had out bathroom done.

That's basically what I said and yet nobody liked my comment *stamps feet* lol

I agree completely. If it's for a bathroom then avoid chrome as the damp will cause them to rust. My chrome ones only lasted a few months before rusting. I paid quite a bit more for stainless steel towel radiator. If I had known when I bought then would have gone for stainless steel in the first place as the cost of having a plumber or builder in twice is far more than the price difference between chrome and stainless steel.

Absolutely unbelievable prices there OP. Even wth delivery added. My dad is a plumber/heating engineer by trade and couldn't get one for anywhere near these prices, even at trade. Have some heat (literally) :laughing:

I have normal small white radiators in my bathroom and downstairs WC and both are rusted badly. I will take a look on the site.

White rads can rust in Bathrooms though can't they due to the condensation,unless that's just here as we have a lot of condensation.

My previous ordinary White radiator had started to rust at the bottom.

In my personal experience of Quinn rads, I would not purchase another! POS with lousy quality with very poor finish quality.

However if you read their website, on the plus side, they say that they are made in Wales from local steel. Therefore if you want to support British steel then there is your chance.

However for me, none of them put out sufficient heat for my bathroom.

Heat added but I will give them a miss.

The chrome ones rust, hopefully not the white painted ones. I have a painted one from screwfix as well, and it has never been a problem, just the chrome versions.

Why would you buy ones that are likely to rust again :neutral_face:

I'd rather spend the money on getting decent ones,to me it's false economy.

I bought chrome ones from screwfix and they rusted quite quickly as well. I'm now buying some white ones off this site, at least you can re-spray them if they rust! :smiley:

Well, more or less. In this case the job of the radiator is to lose heat (from the central heating boiler) into the environment (the house). A measurement of the power output would just be = (temperature drop between the inlet and outlet) x (rate of flow (in mass/unit time)) x (a constant for the heat capacity of the water depending on the units used).

:-)

Just to add to that because I find it interesting how everything links back to a standard definition. 1 Watt is defined as 1 joule per second so you can work out the wattage of your radiator by the temperature it heats up 1kg of water(or 1 litre), if you could capture all the heat it gives off and apply it directly to the 1L of water and not lose any heat to the environment.

That link doesn't take you to them, you have to click the scrolling accessories banner.

May be some are but plenty on the links are def plumbed in, is down to the one you mean, you'll have to double check each one before you buy

The links don't work. They just take you to page without any radiator on there.

These are good prices (Screwfix ones start about £35), but I have no idea about the quality. If anyone buys and fits one perhaps they would let us all know if they are okay.
Heat added for a good price.

No, Watts are the correct unit for power output, W-Hr would be a unit of energy.
BTU is a unit of energy (1 BTU = 0.293 W Hr). There is nothing wrong with BTU as a unit of energy, there is a simple linear conversion to the metric one.
Merchants use BTU/Hr to describe the power output of radiators of course (Energy = Power x Time).

Silly question but how hard is this to replace my existing radiator the cheap white type. Could I fit this using the existing valves? Oh and It's a cracking deal!

Quinn Irish Co, well known in the trade, they are the same and all Chinese.

Note: I'm not a physicist so don't flame me if I get this wrong. But shouldn't the correct unit used be watt-hour? I know all the plumbing merchants use BTU to describe radiator output but surely that is completely archaic for use in the UK now?

...and that's why I never know what to get, I need a couple MBC, but I'm struggling to see which one's I need...that's why I always rely on...



...but in saying that, if they give me a price, I'd always double check and that's why I'm a nightmare to deal with :laughing:

In which case it's strange that most of the rails in this deal claim the power output in watts.....

Oh thanks to replied so quickly ☺ :wink: will tell to hubby, I think he was looking for this

Great, been waiting for these for ages. B&Q let me down last time. Bought two for the toilets, the Mrs will be well pleased! Cheers OP

Please let me know how you plug it ? Need some information about how it works

Would be heat added, but found one, put it in the basket, then it came up as "Sold out". Then emptied my basket. Hmmmm.

Some excellent prices here. Heat added.

Chinese copies I reckon.....

Real Quinn radiators sold here and just take a look at their Trustpilot rating.

does this heat up cotton towels? COTTON TOWELS

Their website seems to be struggling, am getting a lot of error page can't be found..

Note on stainless and chrome.

Do not use any chlorine based products on it.

That's basically what I said and yet nobody liked my comment *stamps feet* lol

These may shorten the life of your boiler if they begin to rust/leak. Go with a good quality stainless steel radiator.

Refurbing a house at the mo and these are mega cheap, well done OP!!!

I got my chrome one from a supplier on ebay, had it for nearly 2 years now - not a bit of rust.. i did pay nearly £100 though... (went for a high BTU)

I agree completely. If it's for a bathroom then avoid chrome as the damp will cause them to rust. My chrome ones only lasted a few months before rusting. I paid quite a bit more for stainless steel towel radiator. If I had known when I bought then would have gone for stainless steel in the first place as the cost of having a plumber or builder in twice is far more than the price difference between chrome and stainless steel.

ive got one of these in my bathroom. you get more heat from a hot fart!

not important if you have another properly specced heat source. many are towel warmers, these are not towel radiators. chrome and rusting is down to quality, Quinn are budget Chinese I think, but Don't spend thirty quid and think it's going to be great, perfect as a cheap refurbished sell on though.

Well no,but you don't have it covered with a towel 24/7 so why would you get the incorrect size for the room :neutral_face:

Make sure you also get the correct BTU for your room.

in my experience a radiator is a radiator you can't really go wrong it's all to do t the guy that fits it heat added and just bought one thank you been looking for one cheap for a while

Good prices but a lot of them are tiny! Good as a flannel radiator. :smiley:

Just ordered one of the larger towel rail radiators. Delivery was 8.99 but for less than £40 total it's still a bargain! thanks OP :smiley:

they seem too cheap (crap?) to be true...

For those of you who have bought these before, are they any good quality wise?

A must have, nice find PF, heat added :smiley:

Really like this.......

But what is going on with the pricing....are these cheap Chinese copies ?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitchen-Quinn-Designer-Heated-Bathroom-Radiator/dp/B00I8N96B0

Couldn't find any chrome rails of a practical size for cheap.

Thanks, never used before, very cheap prices!

Heat added PF...I really could do with some :laughing:

Love Brooklyn Trading prices are amazing. Heat
