Have been getting quotes for new gas central heating system. Can anyone advise please whether Stelrad or Purmo make better radiators? Feeling swamped by too much information ~ need advice from someone who's maybe in the trade! Thank you!

The style and paint finnish is a personal preference. Make sure the system is cleaned and a good quality inhibitor is added fernox or sentenal.A thankyou is payment enough .0

Good afternoon: the OH uses Stelrad Softline ......the standard of the installation is the key.

Personally I always use Stelrad. Forget about the 10 year warranty on them though. If they ever hole or leak it will always be blamed on the water quality.0
