Turning up the heat in the classroom
Heating is always a key consideration in any educational setting. Chris Harvey at Stelrad Radiator Group looks at the benefits of low surface temperature radiators as a safe and effective heating option

n recent years funding has been available for heating system upgrades in existing establishments and there has been a plethora of new build opportunities up and down the country where either traditional boiler driven heating systems or increasingly, new low temperature renewable heating systems have been installed. But whatever the driver, the end product has to be reliable, effective heating to keep staff, pupils and students warm during the colder months of the year. Despite the advent of underfloor heating and other forms of heat provision, radiators have been the ‘go to’ option for the vast majority of these opportunities. Tried and tested technology, easy to install, they offer a straightforward and easily recognised

option for most heating systems and modern radiators offer a level of reliability that is key for heating systems that have to work, day in, day out.
If radiators are sized properly for the rooms and spaces they have to heat, they will deliver the heat required – whether the heat source is a commercial boiler or a commercial heat pump – air source or ground source.
Radiators come in a huge range of shapes and sizes and increasingly in a wide range of styles as well. And while many schools, colleges and universities have selected designer or decorative radiators, the biggest trend in recent years in the education sector has seen the rise of the low surface temperature radiator (LST radiator).
LST radiators are the perfect solution for educational buildings and it’s no surprise that they are also becoming standard specification for many other public buildings
