Many homeowners shy away from replacing an old bathroom radiator because they fear time-consuming installation work, open tiles and high tradesmen’s costs. In practice, however, a clean replacement is possible in many cases without major conversion work if the new radiator is matched to the existing connection situation and the inventory has been carried out carefully. <\/p>\n
Before a new radiator is ordered, two measurements must be taken precisely: the hub distance (horizontal distance between the flow and return connections) and the distance from the bottom edge of the radiator to the middle of the return. These two specifications determine whether the new radiator will fit the existing connections without having to lay pipes. <\/p>\n
You should also check whether the connection is at the side or in the middle, whether the flow and return are at the top or bottom and the condition of the shut-off valves. Old or calcified valves should be replaced immediately, as they can lead to more expensive repairs in the event of a later defect. <\/p>\n
The Evelino renovation radiator<\/a> from Caldo has been specially developed for this application. It is manufactured individually according to the specified dimensions and has the same connection dimensions as standard panel radiators and old steel and cast iron radiators. The existing pipes and drill holes can still be used and tiles do not need to be opened. <\/p>\n Only the hub distance and bottom edge distance to the middle of the return are required for the order. The radiator is then manufactured and supplied to fit.

A new designer bathroom radiator with a modern surface, clear lines and a contemporary profile noticeably changes the room’s appearance, even if everything else remains the same. If you opt for one of Caldo’s designer bathroom radiators<\/a>, you not only get functional heating performance, but also a product that can be deliberately used as a design element in the bathroom. <\/p>\nVisual enhancement as a welcome side effect<\/h2>\n
