How Do I Select An LST Radiator?

When installing LST Radiators into your school or healthcare facility, it’s important to consider what requirements you have when selecting the perfect radiators for the setting. 

Let’s look at the factors you should consider when selecting LST Radiators…

Material

Contour LST Radiators are available in either 1.5mm Steel, Magnelis or aluminium materials.

Magnelis has the same strength as steel but is cured with an additional treatment stage that is similar to galvanising. This makes the material more resistant to rust, increasing its durability.

Contour also offer 2mm aluminium LST radiators that are ideal for wet rooms because they are more resistant to moister. You could consider this when selecting your materials.

RotaRad

If ease of access for cleaning is a priority concern for you, consider including RotaRad into your selections.

RotaRad is a WRAS, KTW and ACS approved valve kit that rotates to allow LST radiators to be moved to floor level so that they, and the wall behind them are easier to clean.

This can be beneficial in school environments, where students often drop or push items into or behind the radiators where they would be difficult to retrieve without a RotaRad Kit.

Valve Type

Contour offers both internal and external valve fittings for LST Radiators. If your environment is one where safety is a primary concern, such as a school where young children are at risk of catching themselves on external valves, an internal option will be beneficial to you.

Consider the setting when choosing the type of valve.

How Will Your LST Radiators Be Mounted?

Contour LST Radiators can be either wall or floor mounted depending on the specification that you require. We provide bespoke quotes depending entirely on your needs and will work to ensure that whatever you require, we meet it.

Door Chains

Similar to RotaRad, Contour’s door chains on LST Radiators provide additional safety to ensure that when a radiator is being cleaned, there is a reduced risk of the door falling on cleaning operatives and causing an injury.

Door chains are effective safety solutions to consider when choosing LST Radiators, as they reduce the risk of financial losses being incurred to you as a result of staff being injured while cleaning. 

Conclusion

All of the above features are factors of consideration for you when selecting your LST Radiators. Contour can consult with you throughout the process to ensure that you make the right decisions for you as you select.
