Recommended radiators for those with allergies

Feature Radiators advises which radiators you should install to help minimise the symptoms caused by allergies to dust, dust mites or other airborne particles.

If you are allergic to dust, or other airborne particles, then you should avoid installing radiators that work by convection.

Convection radiators circulate air and, accordingly, will cause dust to be circulated around the room, aggravating the allergy.

You are best to look for radiators that work by radiating heat, as opposed to convecting heat, as these designs cause less air and dust movement so are a better choice.

Popular radiators that work by radiation are made of cast iron or stone, so are a good solution for those who suffer from dust allergies.

Other options to consider are radiant panel heaters, electric radiators or glass and mirror radiators.

Consider the ability of the radiator to retain dust and the ease of cleaning.

Flat-panel radiators that are easy to wipe down lend themselves particularly to those who suffer with allergies.

There is now a host of slimline radiators offering the practical benefits of radiant heat and easy cleaning, alongside minimalist style and affordable prices.

Also, it is advised against drying clothes on radiators, as humidity can exacerbate symptoms.

For further information on suitable products, it is worth contacting a radiator specialist or expert such as Feature Radiators.
