Each type of radiator has its own advantages and disadvantages.
What you should pay attention to before buying batteries for your apartment.
Anton Tyurin, head of the PRO department in the Water Supply category of the Lemana PRO chain of stores, told the 56orb.ru portal about this.
He explained that cast iron radiators are durable and have the ability to retain heat. They are resistant to rust and pressure drops.
Purchasing cast iron radiators is beneficial for apartments with central heating.
However, many modern buyers consider them echoes of the past.
Aluminum batteries weigh less, heat up quickly and are affordable.
Despite all their advantages, aluminum batteries are subject to corrosion and are inferior to cast iron ones in terms of the quality of the coolant.
The expert suggested considering purchasing bimetallic radiators as an option.
The material from which the batteries are made easily withstands high pressure and temperature fluctuations.
Bimetallic batteries are characterized by good heat transfer and low price.
However, they can rust quickly, which will shorten their lifespan.
Tyurin advises choosing cast iron or bimetallic radiators for apartments with central heating.
For homes with autonomous heating, steel or aluminum radiators are suitable.
