November 1st is National Radiator Day, and by now, most of us will have turned on the heating ready for winter. With over 200 million radiators installed in the UK, let’s take a few minutes to shine a light on this hardworking part of our heating systems!

Government announcement that ‘all radiators placed on the market up to the end of 2022 can use the UKCA mark using existing test reports, even if they were completed in the EU’, labelled as ‘a huge win’ by the Manufacturers Association of Radiators and Convectors, MARC.

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.
