Choosing the right radiator is of great importance for thermal comfort. Aluminum radiators are perfect because they have excellent heat conduction and simple aesthetics. They will therefore constitute an interior decoration. 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 fully 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 truly excellent properties. It heats up quickly and releases heat, which reduces energy loss. In addition, it also conducts heat well. The material is resistant to corrosion and abrasion, and retains its practical and aesthetic values even after many years. 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 that are identical. They can also be made of sections. Their number depends on the size of the room. We connect the model to the central heating system. In this case, air is sucked in from the bottom of the radiator and then flows through aluminum fins. Warm air is already flowing upwards. Notice also 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. Therefore, they will work well in rooms decorated in both classic, high-tech and glamorous styles.
Accessories for aluminum radiators
Installing aluminum radiators does not pose any problems. 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 that is used to close the threaded connection holes in the radiator. Another important element that increases the convenience of use is the air vent. Here we recommend the automatic model. It is installed as an automatic air vent valve. An excellent choice is a model in which the permissible antifreeze content is 0.5%. Don't forget about gaskets that ensure tightness. During installation, it is worth using a universal hanger made of sheet metal, powder-coated and matched to the aluminum radiator. Also noteworthy is a 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 can even be used 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 REGULUSA assembly kit includes hangers or stands, depending on the investor's choice, and all necessary small accessories. Almost every REGULUS radiator can be installed standing.
The best aluminum radiators - ranking
The best aluminum radiators are characterized by efficiency and resistance to damage and corrosion. We recommend the top 5 models from the manufacturer Regulus.
Our list includes the R10/100 copper-aluminum radiator with Regulus side connection . It consists of two systems, namely the water system and the heat dissipation system. The first one has evenly spaced copper heating pipes, which are connected at the ends with vertical collective collectors (also made of copper). The heat dissipation system is made of lamellas made of strong aluminum sheet. This combination means that there is no electrochemical phenomenon in the radiators, and the radiators ensure thermal efficiency and very quickly reach their full rated power for the supply temperature.
The R12/140 copper-aluminum radiator with side connection Regulus has the same structure. It is worth paying attention to the curved front and rear edges of the slats, which fit tightly. Like all regulators, it ensures high efficiency even at low supply temperatures. It will work particularly well in installations where the temperature of the heating medium is low. Therefore, it can be used for condensing boilers, but also for heat pumps. R12/140 is a good choice for interiors with high heat demand.
Slightly smaller, but also effective is the R2/80 copper-aluminum radiator with Regulus side connection . Can be mounted standing 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, you should pay attention to the small water capacity, but a very large heat exchange surface. And what is important, this Regulus aluminum radiator heats up very quickly and releases heat.
Our list also had to include the RD12/120 copper-aluminum radiator with bottom connection REGULLUS Regulus . It ensures high heating dynamics, even at low supply temperatures. It is also resistant to high and variable pressure. Thanks to the appropriately curved front and rear edges of the lamellas, the heating efficiency of the device increases even further. The heating pipes and collectors are joined by soldering, which increases durability. The connection of copper and aluminum is a dry connection, so there is no electrochemical phenomenon.
The Sollarius Regulus S5/50 copper-aluminum radiator with side connection is stylish and practical. It is composed of two systems - water (made of copper) and heat dissipation (made of aluminum). The small water capacity is also important, which means that controllers can be used. S5/50 will work well in modern central heating systems. Therefore, it can be used in installations based on low temperature of the heating medium.
