Certain special considerations might have to be made for triple panel radiators, or Type 33 radiators as they are also known.
The existing heating system is one example where adjustments might be required. Triple panel radiators are larger and heavier than many other styles, so an alteration or replacement might be needed to support this. Essentially, you would need to check that your boiler is compatible with the Type 33 radiator before investment, as a more powerful contemporary version could be required to deliver the proper performance level.
The triple panel radiator material might also play a part. Stainless steel is usually used in their construction, so you will need to think about the impact this has on heat retention capabilities. And be sure to choose the correct size to prevent overheating or underheating from day to day.
Aside from this, there is the possibility that bleeding the radiators will be required as general maintenance from time to time. Plus, the no-frills aesthetic of typical triple panel radiators might not be suited to everyone’s taste.
