The Manufacturers Association of Radiators and Convectors (MARC), estimates that a large percentage of radiator product models on offer in the UK may not be compliant with the current standards. The situation is most acute in the decorative side of the market where MARC estimates over 40% may not comply. Installing radiators that do not conform could result in a cold, expensive and inefficient home.

Today, (1st November) is National Radiator Day, and the Manufacturers’ Association of Radiators and Convectors, MARC, is asking homeowners to mark the day by showing their radiators some tender loving care.
