What radiator should I use for home decoration? How much will it cost?

First, what is the material of the home improvement radiator?

Radiators are mainly divided into five categories: cast iron, steel, copper-aluminum composite, steel-aluminum composite and die-casting aluminum.

1, cast iron radiator

Cast iron radiator is the earliest radiator, with huge volume, single color, height and shape, which can no longer meet the needs of modern family heating and belongs to outdated products.

2. Steel radiator

Steel radiator, also called mild steel radiator, is divided into steel column radiator and steel plate radiator.

1), steel column radiator, mostly used in the north. Its heat dissipation performance is stable, low-carbon, energy-saving, green and environmentally friendly, and its color, height and center distance can be customized according to different needs of users, which is highly customizable and deeply loved by users.

Advantages of steel column radiator:

1) Large water capacity, small water resistance, low system energy consumption, large heat dissipation area, high heat dissipation efficiency and rapid temperature rise;

2) the appearance is smooth, clean and convenient, and the water flow is large and does not scale;

3) Beautiful lines, bright colors and strong decoration;

4) The materials are environmentally friendly, low-carbon and energy-saving, with high cost performance;

Disadvantages of steel column radiator:

Steel radiators have high requirements on water quality. Poor water quality is easy to corrode, leading to water leakage and potential safety hazards. In order to save costs, some bad manufacturers directly cancel the anti-corrosion coating process, which greatly reduces the service life of radiators. Xiao Su reminds you that you must choose big brands when purchasing radiators, so as to effectively protect your own interests.

2), steel plate radiator, mostly used in the south. Aesthetics and corrosion resistance are not as good as steel column radiators.

The water channel of steel plate radiator is very narrow, and it will rust and block if used for a long time, so domestic users in the south will regularly clean and maintain the radiator, which increases the heating cost.

3. Copper-aluminum composite radiator

Copper-aluminum composite radiator is a very high-end durable radiator at present. The water channel inside is pure copper pipe, which has excellent corrosion resistance. No matter how long it takes, the water quality will be clean. Many countries in Europe use copper pipes as drinking water pipes, which shows how clean they are.

Copper-aluminum composite radiator has noble appearance and high bearing capacity. Because of the excellent thermal conductivity of copper and aluminum, the heat dissipation capacity of copper-aluminum radiator is much higher than other materials, and its heat-price ratio is also much higher than other materials. Copper-aluminum composite radiator is light in weight and widely used in various middle and high-grade houses and offices.

4. Steel-aluminum composite radiator

The steel-aluminum composite radiator has the advantages of elegant appearance, good heat dissipation, light weight, high pressure and low production energy consumption.

However, the requirement for water quality is high, and poor water quality is easy to be oxidized and corroded, resulting in water leakage safety hazards.

5. Die-cast aluminum radiator

Die-casting aluminum radiator has strong heat transfer ability, light weight and high heat dissipation efficiency. The disadvantages of die-casting aluminum are also obvious, such as thin wall, easy alkali corrosion and easy leakage, which have certain requirements for water quality; Because of material factors, the welding process is very demanding and easy to collapse and leak.

To sum up, the steel radiator is cost-effective, but it needs to be selected according to the actual situation of the family.

Second, how much does it cost to decorate the radiator?

Household radiator installation costs mainly include radiator product costs and radiator installation costs.

Common steel radiators and copper-aluminum composite radiators on the market are sold by piece. The single price of steel radiator with the same height is about 60-80 yuan, and the single price of copper-aluminum composite radiator is about 90- 130 yuan. The price of radiator varies according to different materials and brands. The amount of radiator installed at home can be calculated by yourself:

At present, all new radiators are marked with heat dissipation. Central heating users can calculate the heat demand of 45 ~ 70w per square meter, and individual independent heating family houses can calculate the heat demand of 0/00 ~120w per square meter. After calculating the radiator size, the required radiator consumption (quantity) can be appropriately increased by 10 ~ 20%.

Count the number of radiators in each room and choose the radiator material or model. Generally, it costs about 3000-5000 yuan to install a steel radiator in 80 square meters.
