10 best manufacturers of heating radiators

The best manufacturers of aluminum and bimetal heating radiators

Aluminum and bimetal heating radiators are lightweight and compact, as well as durable. They have good heat dissipation and attractive appearance. The buyer can independently choose the required number of sections. But the price of goods in this category is one of the highest. Periodically, noise is heard from the circulation of the coolant (depending on the speed of the pump and the number of air bubbles in the water).

5 "Thermal"

One of the few Russian manufacturers whose production lines are preserved within the borders of their native country. "Termal" is an extremely "popular" representative of the segment, the main advantage of which is the production of inexpensive aluminum heating radiators.Despite the mediocre appearance and quality of the visual finish (enamel may show signs of aging), performance is not to be found fault with. According to expert data, one aluminum section is capable of delivering up to 230 W of thermal power on average, exceeding this threshold in a number of models by about 5-7%.

One of those, by the way, is the RAP-500, the output of which is 252 watts. This model is the most suitable for installation in a private house, since it allows you to withstand a pressure in the system of about 60 bar. With all the "coolness" of the technical parameters, its cost remains at the level of the average market, which, of course, is a big plus for consumers. Unfortunately, Thermal cannot boast of an abundance of this kind of product, but the brand still has the prerequisites for this.

4 ROMMER

The ROMMER plant has an international certificate ISO 9001-2008. Up to 15 million sections are produced per year. The company's catalog contains lines of standard quality Optima, BM, Plus with different center distances, and there are heavier radiators of the Profi and Profi Bm series. Only primary aluminum is used for manufacturing, which guarantees the absence of foreign inclusions in the metal. The company operates strict quality control at all stages (checking the geometry of each section, pressure testing, evaluating the surface evenness, examining the processed bottom, etc.). The representative of the Russian company is directly on the production line in China.

Products are manufactured on imported equipment.Marconi melting furnaces (Italy), Gi-Zeta processing line (Germany), Wagner painting station (Germany) are used. The manufacturer claims that the section can withstand pressure up to 18 bar, and during pressure testing it is exposed to 30 bar. In the reviews, buyers rejoice at the high-quality painting and the relatively low cost of radiators.

3 Royal Thermo

Behind the poetic name Royal Thermo is a completely down-to-earth domestic manufacturer, whose trick is to use a remarkable "Italian" design of radiators. This company is one of the few Russian brands that supplies the product to the Eastern European market and, moreover, occupies a very high position there in terms of trust and sales.

The main part of Royal heating radiators is represented by aluminum (for example, ROYAL THERMO REVOLUTION 500) and bimetallic (ROYAL THERMO BiLiner 500), the heat transfer of which is 180 and 170 W, respectively. However, practice has shown that these figures can change significantly, and, moreover, for the better (by about 20% compared to the nominal value). It is also indicative that the cost of one section here often turns out to be lower than that of the main competitor in the person of Rifar, however, from the standpoint of quality, the latter still turns out to be a little higher.

2 Rifar

The domestic company "Rifar" joined the ranks of manufacturers of heating radiators in 2002, presenting to the public the first line of aluminum and bimetallic sections.The main feature of the company is low cost, accompanied by good performance. Thus, the declared heat transfer of one element of an aluminum radiator averages 183-185 W, bimetallic - 180-182 W, which was confirmed by a number of independent tests by Russian and Italian experts.

An indirect indicator of the reliability of the product from Rifar is the presence of a 10-year warranty, backed by an insurance certificate from Ingosstrakh. True, the company has recently moved away from the practice of warranty insurance, providing only 10 years of service. The highest quality representatives of the company are RIFAR MONOLIT 500 bimetallic radiators and RIFAR ALUM 500 aluminum radiators with high endurable pressure and coolant temperature.

1 Global

The eminent world brand of heating radiators, which competently combined the Italian "sense of beauty" with the famous European quality. Founded in 1971, this industry giant was one of the first to take up the mass production of aluminum radiators, developing and reinforcing its success with the subsequent launch of no less high-quality bimetallic models. At the moment, the company controls more than 40% of the entire world market, which is the best indicator among its peers.

As the eternal advantages of Global heating radiators, experienced users highlight immunity to rapid aging and loss of performance, pleasant design, environmental friendliness of production, as well as diversity within one line.Among the most popular representatives of the company are the STYLE PLUS 500 bimetallic radiator (180 W heat output, 35 bar operating pressure) and Vox 500 (193 W heat output at 16-20 bar pressure).

And finally, one more important nuance. This company is the only European one that has not transferred its production facilities to China.

The best manufacturers of metal heating radiators

Metal heating radiators are compact and inexpensive. Their heat dissipation loses to aluminum, but the price is one of the most affordable. This is a great option for a budget home renovation. Metal panels are also suitable for an office building where people are only in the daytime (when the temperature outside is higher than at night).

3 Purmo

Finnish manufacturer of heating radiators, widely known in the European market segment since the 50s of the last century. Purmo products are ideally suited for use in Russia, as they were made taking into account all the features of winter in the northern regions of Europe. Actually, this is the main feature of the company - its radiators successfully pass the test of the harsh Russian climate.

Purmo steel radiators, which are monolithic blocks with a high degree of heat transfer, have achieved the greatest success in the international arena. For example, PURMO COMPACT 22 500, delivering up to 5572 W of thermal energy in basic heating conditions. Or, if you like, the PURMO Ramo Compact 500, with similar operating characteristics.In general, the entire line of radiators is characterized by low cost, pleasant design and a guarantee of reliable operation for 10 years, which is quite enough to attract an ordinary consumer.

2 Kermi

Similar to Purmo, the German company became famous for the production of steel radiators, the history of which has almost 50 years of production. During this time, the nominee managed not only to change the concept of manufacturing, but also to develop a huge variety of different radiator panels. To date, the Kermi range is full of smooth and profile heater options with high-quality enamel coating and an optional valve for fine control of heat output.

As the title model, recommended by both users and experts, the FKO 11 500 radiator stands out, the heat output of which can be (depending on the length) 459-3441 W. Among its advantages, they also like to attribute visual qualities and high resistance to the formation of oxides. Another example of the company's products is the Therm x2 FKV 22 500 panel, whose power with a width of 1100 millimeters is 2123 watts. Excellent options for installation in apartments and small rooms of a private house.

1 Buderus

The oldest player in the heater market, dating back to 1731. He is the brightest representative of the German production "family" with a pedantic attitude to the smallest details.Starting to work on cast-iron radiators, Buderus gradually switched to the production of metal panels, gradually complicating the structural components of the materials used, as well as the design parameters of the manufactured models.

The most popular radiator from Buderus in Russia is the LOGATREND K-PROFIL 22 500 model, which can work with coolants with temperatures up to 120 degrees Celsius. This specification component makes it possible to install the panel within a private home where the heating elements operate under the most severe operating conditions. The only nuance of the panel section is the high price, which is a kind of compensation for such a rich history of the manufacturer.

The best manufacturers of cast iron radiators

Cast iron modern batteries give off heat for a long time by inertia when the boiler is already turned off. But they are heavy and heat up for a long time, but they serve 50 years or more. If you want to make a choice in favor of durability and beautiful design, here are some of the best manufacturers whose products are popular in Russia.

2 Konner

Another representative of the domestic production segment of heating radiators, bearing a very sonorous and memorable name. Despite nominally Russian origin, Könner bases production facilities in China, offering consumers the cheapest products among all nominees for a place in the ranking of the best.

In fact, the low price is due to not the most optimal technical characteristics, which are demonstrated by the aluminum and bimetallic line of radiators. Things are much better at Könner with cast-iron models of heaters, the heat dissipation of which (in terms of a section) is about 150 watts. In terms of visual performance, these heatsinks can also surprise users. Since childhood, we are all accustomed to the massive sections and the heaviness of cast-iron batteries, but here we are not talking about any serious dimensions: everything is done according to the canons of the type of aluminum models, and only weight can give out a fundamental difference in the material. A prime example of Könner's cast iron radiator is the Modern 500, which is powerful and cheap enough to be popular with consumers.

1 STI

The abbreviation STI stands for Sanitaria Technica Italiana. This is a factory that has been producing all types of heating radiators since 1990. Goods are sold in Mexico, USA, China, Paraguay, Italy, Kazakhstan, Slovenia. The representative office of the company has been operating in Russia since 2013, in Moscow, so it is not difficult to order and buy products of an international brand. Pig-iron radiators are represented in the company by the Nova line. They have a modern look, they are not bulky, they comply with GOST RF and are adapted to our operating conditions. The manufacturer does not set restrictions on the use of the type of antifreeze.

The cast-iron radiator for 10 sections has a heat output of 1200 W and supports the operation of the coolant with a maximum temperature of 130 ⁰С. In the reviews, cast iron products are praised for uniform painting, long service life.Buyers note increased heat transfer and good sound insulation - the murmur of water and the periodic passage of air bubbles in them are almost inaudible, unlike bimetallic and aluminum panels.
