Description and application
The THERMALINO radiator floor bracket fixes a steel panel radiator to the floor where it cannot be hung on a wall, such as in front of glazed façades in offices, hotels and hospitals. It comes in white, in sizes from H:300 to H:900.
The radiator floor bracket from the THERMALINO Eternal line holds a steel panel radiator on the floor rather than on the wall. It is used where there is no wall that can carry the radiator. The most common case is a glazed façade, where the radiator stands in front of floor-to-ceiling glass to offset the cold surface and down-draught from the window. It also suits partitions and lightweight walls that cannot take the load of a filled radiator. The bracket is designed for steel panel radiators and comes in six sizes: H:300, H:400, H:500, H:600, H:750 and H:900. The installer chooses the size that matches the height of the radiator. The bracket is finished in white, so it blends in with a white panel radiator. Floor-mounting supports like this are sometimes called radiator feet. The bracket is fixed to a solid floor structure, and the radiator is then mounted on it and connected to the heating pipework in the usual way. Fixings must suit the floor construction, and a qualified heating installer should fit the radiator and connect it to the system. Before installation, check the clearances under the radiator for airflow and cleaning. Then confirm that the floor build-up, including any screed or raised floor, will take the fixings.

Questions
- Are radiator floor brackets universal, or do I need a specific bracket for a steel panel radiator in an office refurbishment?
- The THERMALINO radiator floor bracket is not a universal part. It is made for steel panel radiators. It comes in sizes H:300, H:400, H:500, H:600, H:750 and H:900, and you choose the size that matches the height of the radiator. The finish is white. Other radiator types, such as column or cast iron radiators, are outside its stated use.
- Can a plasterboard partition wall hold a steel panel radiator, or should the radiator stand on floor brackets instead?
- A radiator floor bracket is the safer choice when a plasterboard partition cannot reliably carry a filled steel panel radiator, because the bracket transfers the load to the floor. Plasterboard on its own is a weak fixing base. Wall mounting on plasterboard usually depends on finding the studs or using specialist cavity fixings. Standing the radiator on floor brackets avoids loading the board, as long as the floor is solid enough to take the fixings.
- How should a steel panel radiator be fitted in a room with a timber stud or lath and plaster wall that may not take the weight?
- On a timber stud or lath and plaster wall, a steel panel radiator is either fixed into the studs or onto battens, or it is stood on a radiator floor bracket. The bracket takes the load to the floor rather than the wall surface. Fixing only into plaster or board is not adequate. Where the studs are in the wrong place, or the wall is in poor condition, the THERMALINO floor bracket in the size that matches the radiator height lets the radiator be installed without relying on the wall. A qualified installer should fit the radiator and connect it to the heating system.
- Can a steel panel radiator be solidly mounted on the floor in front of floor-to-ceiling windows in a hotel or hospital?
- Yes, a steel panel radiator can be mounted on the floor in front of full-height glazing using a radiator floor bracket. This is the main use of the THERMALINO bracket. Offices, hotels and hospitals with glass façades often place radiators along the glazing, where there is no wall to hang them on. The bracket is fixed to the floor structure and carries the radiator. Its white finish matches a white panel radiator.
- Do steel panel radiators come with floor brackets, or does a radiator floor bracket have to be ordered separately for a glazed façade?
- The THERMALINO radiator floor bracket is a separate accessory in the Eternal line. Order it in the size that matches each radiator, from H:300 to H:900, wherever radiators are to be floor mounted. The radiator's own packing list shows which fixings come with it. For a glazed façade, plan the number of floor brackets per radiator, the size and the floor fixings when you order the radiators.
