Low surface temperature radiators – LSTs - are key where there is a need to meet NHS Guidance for ‘Safe Hot Water and surface temperature’ – in hospitals, care and nursing homes, as well as sheltered housing, schools, nurseries and other educational establishments and in an increasing amount of general needs housing that may be used by vulnerable people during that home’s lifetime.
Leading radiator manufacturer Stelrad Radiators has developed the largest selection of LST radiators in its impressive portfolio – offering more sizes and outputs than any other company in the sector. They have also added different styles and even different colours to the range to give the widest choice on the UK and Irish markets. Some people have a reduced sensitivity to high temperatures and others simply cannot react quickly enough to prevent injury from hot surfaces if they inadvertently touch and come into contact with a conventional radiator, where surface temperatures may be as high as 75°C.
LST radiators need to be designed to ensure they're safe to touch and offer as much protection as possible to those for whom they are designed to provide heating – to include ensuring rounded corners and edges to the design to avoid damage from sharp edges. www.stelrad.com/trade/
