Performax radiators - the modern choice for a private home
A comment
What distinguishes steel radiators from other water heating radiators is the ease of installation and the very small amount of water required to fill, as a result of which they quickly heat up and transfer heat to the room and save on heating in a private house. They have a beautiful appearance, the coating does not require further special care. I installed Performax 500 * 700 radiators, from the manufacturer TermoTeknik, this is Turkey. and that’s enough for me. I set the required temperature and they hold it perfectly, the heat dissipation is excellent, the convector also works well. The connection is lateral. In addition to the radiators, there were plugs, dowels and screws, a valve and staples, for installation on the wall.
pros
Great performance, great design, easy to install, quality is good, affordable cost.
Minuses
You can not drain the water from the system because rust will go, but if it needs to be drained in the home heating system, it is only in case of (God forbid, of course) repair and then for a short period.
Term of use

Kermi - Impeccable German Quality
A comment
Steel panel radiators are popular among consumers. Many enterprises and private owners seek to switch to autonomous heating. And among the widest selection of radiators, the eyes of the majority stop precisely on steel panel radiators. Their neat and restrained design attracts them, well, the price of course.

While heating in the house, it’s not true, but by a team of experienced craftsmen, I installed panel radiators of Kermi, a well-known German company.

For four years of use, I can highlight the following advantages: the presence of the adjustment function, profitability, low price. I chose models with side connection, Kermi FKO 600/800, type 22. It weighs only 23, 7 kg.
pros
Reliability, appearance, heat transfer, low price.
Minuses
This type of radiator cannot be installed for multi-storey buildings, due to the high pressure in the system. You can not leave a steel radiator for a long time without water, rust will go, but I never drained the water from myself.

Steel panel radiators "Prado" excellent price-quality ratio.
A comment
Hello. Three years ago, my family and I decided to move from an apartment to a private house. The house was not built by ourselves, but hired by a construction company. She installed Prado steel panel radiators in the house. We have been using radiators for three years. Lived three winters. I like a lot, but there are also not big disadvantages, but I will write about them below.

The area of ​​the house is larger than the area of ​​the apartment, and the size of the radiators is not large. At first, I thought that radiators would not be able to heat such an area, or the boiler would work at maximum all year. But my fears did not come true. With a small thickness of radiators, it was always warm in the house in winter, and the boiler was working at full strength all the time. From which I concluded that the Prado radiators have high heat dissipation. I am very pleased with the way radiators perform their function and there are no complaints.
Radiators assembled for glory. All parts are firmly interconnected. The assembly is done diligently. There are no sharp edges and unevenness on the surface of the radiator. Quality radiators on top.

But here they come to the cons. They are not so scary. In my opinion. Appearance is the most common, nothing special. Everything is done quite screen-wise and familiar to panel radiators. This is just my opinion, but I did not see anything special in the design. But design surplus is more likely a pleasant addition to radiators than their necessary feature. Their main task is to warm and the Prado brand radiators handle it wonderfully. Quite not bad fit into the decor of the room. The radiators are painted white, which does not catch the eye. But it is worth noting that, despite the rather banal color of the radiators, the paintwork was done quite high quality. As a result, I am pleased with the appearance, although it was possible to come up with something more interesting, but I repeat this is not the main thing, they didn’t buy in order to watch. Maybe for someone the appearance and has considerable weight when choosing radiators.

It is not difficult to clean radiators with a simple vacuum cleaner. Therefore, there are no special difficulties with cleaning. With regular cleaning, the radiator will never turn into a dust collector and will not lose operating efficiency.

In conclusion, I would like to say. I am pleased with Prado radiators. Radiators are assembled with high quality and excellent heat, and many will not take into account shortcomings about the banal appearance. Of great importance to me is their affordability and value for money. Especially recently, it plays a big role. And also the fact that they are produced in Russia partially inclined me to choose these radiators. Would I advise these radiators to friends and relatives and ordinary, ordinary customers? Of course!
pros

1) good heat dissipation

We decided to change the cast-iron radiators to the Prado steel panel radiators in their apartment. Satisfied with everyone. There are no complaints. All rooms are warm. Radiators "PRADO Classic 22x500x1200" are installed in the hall and in the rooms "PRADO Classic 22x500x800". The radiator "PRADO Universal 21x300x500" is installed in the bathroom. Installed for more than 4 years.
pros
Price / quality ratio, convenience in regulating the water supply to each radiator separately, light weight of the radiator that allows you to install it on drywall, the ability to remove the radiator without emptying the system (although you yourself haven’t done it yourself yet).
Minuses
There are no drawbacks, it is used in a 9-storey building with central heating.

Kermi is the perfect solution for your home
A comment
He replaced the central heating with an autonomous one. During the installation, it was decided to install new radiators. After long comparisons of companies, the choice fell on radiators Kermi, a well-known German company. After all, they have a number of innovative solutions: the surface of the heat exchanger is increased, which significantly increases heat transfer, as well as the possibility of sequential connection of the front panel of the radiator with all the others. I ordered radiators with a lower connection (FKL) in order to use a minimum of turns. I also want to note a nice bonus, all possible plugs, taps, brackets, adapters are included.
pros
Design, price, quality, mounting system
Minuses
not suitable for central heating
Term of use
more than one year

Steel radiators Kermi and Korado
A comment
It so happened that when replacing the heating system in the country, we installed steel radiators of different brands in different rooms, in one room there are Kermi, and in two other Korado.

I want to share my impression, let's start with the installation, I was almost always present during the installation of the system, and it seemed to me that Korado is easier to install, although of course my opinion is philistine. Further, both types are aesthetically equivalent and fit very well into the interior. For the price, too, in general, they were not very different. After the heating season, I want to note that they also have identical heat dissipation, but there is one caveat, nevertheless for a greater effect, it is worth installing an additional pump in the system. In general, we do not regret replacing cast iron batteries with steel ones, as they turned out to be more attractive in terms of economy.
pros
reasonable price, universal design, good heat dissipation
Minuses
additional installation of the pump in the system is required
Term of use
more than three years
