Eskimo - Column
Ingeniously named COLUMN is one of our beautifully formed column radiators. This modular, elliptical range is created from a beautifully compact aluminium extrusion of 14 tubes while focussing on maximum energy output and heat pump compatibility. COLUMN gives a fond nod to the traditional form of column radiators. Yet, despite those styling cues, COLUMN displays a stunningly clean and contemporary presence. As a result, it will happily sit with any interior scheme, from ultra-modern to period.
Why Choose Eskimo Column Radiator?
Eskimo radiators have been a pioneer in the heating industry since the year 2000. With over 22 years of experience in engineering, product design and efficiency, Eskimo Column Radiators are built to withstand the test of time. With an all-aluminium built, our Column radiators distinguish themselves with exceptional heat output. While the energy prices continue to soar, our column radiators reassure you of a warm home while keeping your bills low.
To make things better, our column radiators come with a 5 years warranty and are available within a lead time of 7 days. Our wide range of size options provides you with the flexibility to choose the right size and right heating output within your budget. If you have been on the lookout for a custom column radiator with a unique colour, we can colour match your radiator with a lead time of four weeks.
Column and sustainability
With exceptional output capabilities and an all aluminium built, Column radiators are perfect to be paired with heat pumps for a better future.
-
Heat pumps are a popular solution to the whopping 22 % of all energy consumed in the UK.
-
Efficient heat pumps produce a much lower water temp which means you need to increase the size of your radiators. Thus, a major consideration when switching to a heat pump is the need to either replace your old radiators or fit additional radiators.
-
Avoid costly, inefficient replacements – with Eskimo’s innovative Column radiator range - developed specifically for use with heat pumps. Huge range of sizes, the highest output of any radiator on the market.
-
A heat pump will deliver water at up to 50ºC – resulting in a reduction of about 50% heating capacity of your radiators. As a rule of thumb, if you stuck with the same radiator design when switching to heat pumps, you would need radiators twice the size to deliver the same performance.
-
Solution? Fit high-performance aluminium radiators that don’t need to be huge to deliver all the heat you need. Due to its high thermal conductivity (over 5 times that of the steel used in traditional radiators), aluminium is the material that engineers use to solve this problem.
-
High-efficiency aluminium radiators are the perfect partner for heat pumps - Column.
Eskimo have been exclusively making this type of radiator for over 20 years – since our inception, we have specialised in developing high-performance aluminium radiators
The best radiator for heat pumps
-
Scientifically superior
Aluminium has a thermal conductivity of over 5 times higher than steel.
The design of a steel multicolumn radiator requires direct contact between the outside surface area and the hot water inside, while aluminium Column radiators can have hollow heated surfaces located further away from the central water gallery due to its superior heat conductivity.
-
Compact size
Our Column radiators offer equivalent heat dissipation to standard steel radiators in a significantly smaller and lighter design, thanks to their superior heat conductivity, allowing for efficient heat transfer and eliminating the need for larger sizes and excessive water content.
The superior heat conductivity of aluminium radiators allows for compact designs with more surface area, reducing the need for multiple radiators or excessive wall space.
Oversized and heavy radiators lead to higher energy costs, increased delivery and installation expenses, the need for wall reinforcement, and reduced living space for homeowners.
-
Environmental Impact
Low weight and low water volume are crucial factors in radiator design. Raising the temperature of a radiator requires significant energy, especially when dealing with well water. In comparison, Column radiators require only one-third of the energy compared to steel multicolumn radiators to reach their operating temperature.
The column uses only about ¼ of the water of a comparable steel rad
Heavy radiators with high water volumes not only take a long time to heat up but also take a significant amount of time to cool down. This becomes problematic when the building overheats, as the radiators retain their heat for an extended period. Occupants are then left with the dilemma of opening windows to cool down the space, resulting in wasted energy, increased carbon emissions, and higher running costs.
