Choosing the right radiator is of great importance for thermal comfort. Aluminum radiators, which are distinguished by excellent heat conduction, but also simple aesthetics, will work perfectly. They will therefore be a decoration of the interior. Today we will present you all the most important information about them. We have prepared a ranking of the best Regulus aluminum radiators for you.

Characteristics of aluminum radiators
Aluminum radiators are very popular, which is understandable considering their functionality, as well as practical and aesthetic values. They are perfect for installing heating systems in modern buildings, in classic wooden houses or when replacing old installations. The aluminum from which they are made has really excellent properties. It heats up quickly and also gives off heat, which reduces energy losses. In addition, it also conducts heat well. The material is resistant to corrosion, but also abrasion and even after years retains its practical and aesthetic values. It is also worth noting that aluminum radiators are light and easy to install, and they can be used to heat even large rooms. They are made of ribs, which are identical. They can also be made of segments. Their number is selected according to the size of the room. We connect the model to the central heating system. In this case, the air is sucked in from the bottom of the radiator, then flows through the aluminum ribs. Warm air flows out the top. Pay attention to the power. Well, it depends on the thermal parameters of the installation. Aluminum radiators are also distinguished by their aesthetics, which, although simple, delights and attracts attention. They will work well in rooms decorated in a classic, high-tech, and glamour style.
Accessories for aluminum radiators
Installing aluminum radiators is not a problem. However, you need to buy the right accessories. Of course, they should be of high quality, i.e. made of strong and durable materials. You should definitely decide to buy a plug, which is used to close the threaded connection holes in the radiator. Another important element that increases the comfort of use is the air vent. Here we recommend an automatic model. It is installed as an automatic air vent valve. A model in which the permissible content of antifreeze agents is 0.5% is an excellent choice. Do not forget about the seals, which ensure tightness. During installation, it is worth using a universal hanger made of sheet metal, which is also powder-coated and adapted to the aluminum radiator. Also noteworthy is the set of handles in the form of a strip, which is also made of powder-coated steel. Thanks to this, it is resistant to rust and will work well even in bathrooms. It is equipped with bean-shaped holes and 4 support points. All this not only facilitates installation, but also ensures stability. The Regulus brand produces hangers and legs for its radiators. The REGULUS assembly kit includes hangers or stands, depending on the investor's choice, and all the necessary small accessories. Almost every REGULUS radiator can be mounted as a free-standing one.
The best aluminum radiators - ranking
The best aluminum radiators are characterized by efficiency and resistance to damage or corrosion. We recommend the top 5 models from the manufacturer Regulus.
Our list includes the R10/100 copper-aluminium radiator with Regulus side connection . It consists of two systems, namely the water system and the heat release system. The first has evenly distributed copper heating pipes, which are connected at the ends with vertical collectors (also made of copper). The heat release system, on the other hand, is made of lamellas made of strong aluminium sheet. This connection means that no electrochemical phenomenon occurs in the radiators, while the radiators ensure thermal efficiency and very quickly reach their full rated power for the supply temperature.
The Regulus copper-aluminium radiator R12/140 with side connection has the same construction. It is worth paying attention to the bent front and rear edges of the lamellas, which fit tightly. Like all Reguluses , it ensures high efficiency even at low supply temperatures. It is particularly well suited for installations where the temperature of the heating medium is low. It can therefore be used for condensing boilers, but also heat pumps. R12/140 is a good choice for rooms with a high demand for heat.
Slightly smaller, but equally effective is the copper-aluminium radiator R2/80 with lateral connection Regulus . For installation as a standing one on legs or for classic wall hanging. It provides a mixed method of heat emission, consisting of radiation and convection, thanks to which the heat is distributed evenly. Here, attention should be paid to the small water capacity, but a very large heat exchange surface. And what is important, this aluminium radiator Regulus heats up very quickly and gives off heat.
Our list also had to include the copper-aluminium radiator RD12/120 with bottom connection REGULLUS Regulus . It provides high heating dynamics, even at low supply temperatures. It is also resistant to high and variable pressure. Thanks to the appropriately bent front and rear edges of the lamellas, the heating efficiency of the device is further increased. The connection of heating pipes to collectors is made by soldering, which increases durability. The connection of copper with aluminium is a dry connection, so no electrochemical phenomenon occurs in it.
Stylish and practical is the S5/50 copper-aluminium radiator with a side connection Sollarius Regulus . It is made of two systems - water (copper) and heat release (aluminium). The small water capacity is also significant, meaning that controllers can be used. S5/50 will work well in modern central heating systems. It can therefore be used in installations based on low temperature of the heating medium.
