How do the Type numbers (Type 11, 21, 22) affect heat and which should you pick for each room?

The Type tells you panel and convector configuration: Type 11 is a single panel with a single convector and gives the lowest output, Type 21 is two panels with a single convector and gives a mid-range output, and Type 22 is two panels with double convectors and gives the highest output for its footprint. Use Type 11 for small rooms or hallways where you only need modest heat, Type 21 for typical bedrooms and living rooms, and Type 22 if you need a lot of heat from a compact wall space (a 600 x 1200mm Type 21 will usually suit a medium room, while a 600 x 1200mm Type 22 will deliver noticeably more warmth). The product range shows plenty of 600mm-high options across Types, so you can match height and width to the heat you require.

What is the difference between a single convector and a double convector in practice?

A convector is the fin assembly that boosts heat transfer; single convectors have one fin pack between panels, double convectors have two, so they increase output without changing the radiator's height. That means a 600 x 1200mm double convector (Type 22) will give substantially more BTUs than the same size with a single convector (Type 21). The trade-off is depth: double convector radiators sit a little further from the wall, which is worth it if you need higher output from the same wall area.

Can you fit a Solaro panel radiator vertically, and when is that a good idea?

Yes, several models are available in vertical or vertical-capable orientations. Vertical radiators are ideal where wall width is limited but you have ceiling height, beside a tall window or in a narrow bathroom; a tall option like a 600 x 1800mm K1 Type 11 gives heat while saving horizontal wall space. Make sure you pick a model described as vertical or convertible, and check the height suits your space.

Which colours and finishes are available, and how do they change the look of a room?

The range includes popular black, matt black, and anthracite finishes, plus different cover styles such as lined covers and flat covers for a sleeker look. Matt black or anthracite works well in modern kitchens and contemporary bathrooms, while a lined cover or flat cover on a Type 21 or Type 22 gives a minimalist, seamless appearance; a P+ Type 21 with a lined cover in matt black creates a strong, pared-back statement in a monochrome kitchen. Choose the finish that complements your taps and fittings for a coordinated scheme.

How do I use the BTU output categories and sizes to make sure a radiator will heat my room?

our range filters list BTU bands (1000–1999 up to 10000–25000) so you can match a radiator's included in our range output to the heat requirement you've calculated for your room. As a practical guide, small bedrooms often fall into the 1000–2999 BTU bands and suit compact Type 11 models (such as 600 x 1000mm), medium living rooms commonly need 3000–6000 BTU where a 600 x 1200mm Type 21 is frequently suitable, and larger or poorly insulated rooms may require 6000+ BTU where a 600 x 1600–1800mm Type 22 will perform better. Measure your room volume and note external walls or poor insulation, then pick a product whose BTU band matches your calculated requirement.
