How Long Do LST Radiators Last?

LST radiators are an investment in better performing heating solutions for many of our customers. We work alongside clients from the education and healthcare sector, as well as many others, and often see that budget is a large part of any concerns that they have.

We understand that adding LST radiators to a setting is an investment for a lot of our clients and that knowing that they are long lasting is a huge reassurance to them.

Read on to find out more about our LST radiators and their lifespan…

The average life of a standard radiator is between fifteen and twenty years, according to Heat And Plumb. LST radiators have an expected lifespan of between ten and fifteen years, but with proper maintenance, it’s not uncommon for this to be as much as twenty.

How Can You Maximise The LST’s Potential?

Radiator Covers

The strength and durability of Contour’s LST radiator covers maximises the potential lifespan of the radiators as the covers offer protection from the general wear and tear of day to day life.

This is particularly important in busy environments such as schools, where students will be moving around constantly with bags and school equipment that could hit the radiators as staff and students go about their day. 

It is also important in hospitals, as these are also busy places where patients and doctors are rushed around. Where there is a risk of beds or hospital equipment hitting the radiators as well, the radiator covers provide a strong, durable solution.

Durable Solutions

Our LST radiators are made out of a 1.5mm Zintec mild steel as standard to ensure a more durable performance within busy environments. They have increased resistance to corrosion, enhancing the longevity of the LST radiator’s lifespan.

The radiators come with additional folds in the radiator guard to give it a higher level of strength making it more resistant to damage.

We can also supply LST radiators made from magnelis. This material has the same strength as steel but has been cured with an additional treatment stage similar to it undergoing hot-dipped galvanising.

By doing this, Contour Magnelis LST radiators are 10x more resistant to rust, meaning that they have a longer lifespan in wet environments such as bathrooms or toilets because of their increased water resistance and ‘self-healing’ properties.

Warranty

We expect our LST radiators to be long-lasting and have designed them to provide maximum value to our customers with their extended lifespan.

For additional reassurance, we offer a 5-year warranty on all of our LST radiators. This gives out customers the additional safety net in the unlikely event that there is a problem.

Conclusion

Contour LST radiators have an expected lifespan of up to fifteen to twenty years with proper maintenance.

With our durable designs in the structure and design of our product, and with our 5-year warranty on radiator covers and LST radiators respectively, you can feel reassured that the heating solutions we provide are a long lasting and durable to maximise their lifespan.
