What is a Type 22 radiator?
A Type 22 radiator, also known as a double panel radiator, comprises two metal panels with two rows of convection fins between them.
This style of radiator is ideal for larger rooms, such as living rooms and kitchens, because it produces a higher heat output than a Type 21. Thanks to their heating efficiency, Type 22 radiators are the most common choice in UK homes.
What is the difference between a Type 21 and Type 22 radiator?
Both radiator types feature two metal panels, but the difference lies in the convection fins. A Type 21 has one set of fins between the panels, whilst a Type 22 has two. This greater surface area allows a Type 22 to transfer more heat into the room, resulting in a higher heat output.
Why choose a Type 22 radiator?
A Type 22 double panel radiator offers the perfect balance of performance and size. You don’t need an oversized radiator to heat a big room; the extra panel and fins generate significantly more heat than single panel models.
They’re also available in a range of finishes and designs to suit your interior. Choose an anthracite or black double panel radiator for a sleek, modern look, or go for a classic white radiator for a versatile, timeless finish.
How much heat output does a Type 22 provide?
One of the biggest advantages of a Type 22 radiator is its heating capacity. With two panels and dual convector fins, it delivers impressive heat output even in smaller sizes, making it ideal for living rooms, open-plan areas, and other high-demand spaces.
If you’re replacing an older radiator, a Type 22 is often a more energy-efficient option, as it can heat the same area using less wall space. This makes it a smart long-term investment, particularly if energy efficiency is a priority.
That said, always check your room’s BTU requirements before buying. You can use our BTU calculator to find the right radiator size for your space.
What should I consider before installing a Type 22 radiator?
Before purchasing, measure your available wall space and consider your heating needs. Larger rooms benefit most from a double panel radiator, but in smaller rooms you may want to balance output against available depth, as Type 22s are slightly thicker than Type 21s.
Always check the BTU rating to ensure the radiator you choose is the right fit for your room.
