Browsing the radiator shops, whether online or in a bricks and mortar shop (BM shop), you will notice that there are different choices in radiator material. Most commonly, you will find aluminium, stainless steel, and cast iron radiators. In this article, we are going to explore the advantages of stainless steel for use in your radiators.

First, let me preface this blog by explaining that the different materials have different benefits and drawbacks and the one that is right for you depends on your circumstances. For example, aluminium is lightweight and that makes them a better choice for hanging on weaker walls, such as partition walls and drywall.

By looking at the advantages of stainless steel radiators, you can evaluate whether they are the right choice for your particular circumstances.

Stainless Steel Is Highly Rust Resistant

One of the best things about using stainless steel for your radiators is that they are highly resistant to rust. As you know, radiators contain water and this makes them susceptible to oxidize a shim, which means that Metal rusts faster in damp conditions. If you have a damp home, this only exacerbates the problem when using certain types of material.

However, because stainless steel is highly rust resistant, it means that they are much less likely to rust than either aluminium or cast iron. For this reason, they are a great choice for those of you who want as minimum maintenance care for the radiators as possible.

As well as being a rust-resistant, they are resistance to other types of blemish and are relatively easy to keep clean and keep spotless. Now, remember that they are highly resistant to rust, but not completely. You must still take adequate care to ensure that you do not inadvertently expose them to too much moisture.

Stainless Steel Is Recyclable

Whilst many of us deny it, there is no denying climate change some people continue to do so. However, those of us who are a little more risk-averse and less biased know that the weather is changing relatively quickly. Our consumerist society is leading to the next big extinction. It seems crazy that we can see its approach but so few of us are doing anything about it.

If you're conscientious about the type of products you use, then buying recyclable materials is definitely something you should be looking into. Stainless steel radiators can be recycled. Often, they are made from recycled materials too.

They are a fantastic choice for those of you who want to buy reliable and renewable radiators. If you couple this with using an energy supplier that tries to use as much renewable energy as possible, such as Avro, Then you might be helping to minimise that negative impact we are having on the planet.

Stainless Steel Is Malleable

Ok, onto the aesthetics. Stainless steel can be fashioned into practically any shape you wish. This gives you great control over the style of the radiator. In fact, you can even buy bespoke radiators and have them fashioned to whatever look you want.

We hope you can now appreciate the benefits of using stainless steel in your radiators. They are not suitable for every instance, but they can be an excellent choice in the right circumstances.
