Ultraheat Trojan radiators are tall vertical radiators with gently curved tubes. They suit rooms where horizontal wall space is short but height is available. This guide covers the sizes and finishes in the range and the checks to make on output and installation. It also explains when a Trojan can work as a towel warmer.

What Are Ultraheat Trojan Radiators?

Ultraheat Trojan is a tubular vertical designer radiator with seven gently curved tubes. The manufacturer lists two sizes. One is 1300 mm high by 390 mm wide and the other is 1760 mm high by 390 mm wide.

Finishes are Metallic Micrograin Black RAL 9005 and chrome. Check which finish and size is currently listed on this website because availability can change. Trojan designer radiators sit in the Premier Range alongside other vertical designs.

Why Choose Vertical Radiators for Limited Wall Space?

Vertical radiators use height instead of width. That helps in rooms with narrow walls between doors and windows or where furniture takes up the wider walls. At 390 mm wide a Trojan can sit on a short stretch of wall where a long horizontal radiator would not fit.

Modern vertical radiators need clearance above and below as well. The taller Trojan is 1760 mm so measure the ceiling height and check for shelves, sockets and window sills before you commit.

Choosing Between the Two Trojan Sizes

The 1300 mm model suits shorter walls and rooms where a lower radiator looks more in proportion. The 1760 mm model is taller and its listed output is higher, which can help in larger rooms or where one radiator has to do more work. Trojan vertical radiators share the same 390 mm width in both sizes so the choice comes down to available height and the output the room needs. Always confirm the figures on the model page.

Can Trojan Radiators Be Used in Bathrooms and Kitchens?

Ultraheat describes the Trojan as able to work as a towel warmer in a bathroom or kitchen once towel hooks are added. The hooks are an addition rather than part of the radiator. Check the product page for the model you want and confirm the hook option before ordering.

Checks for bathroom radiators

Bathroom radiators need to sit clear of doors, baths and fittings. With towel warmer radiators the towels can affect how much heat reaches the room so allow for that when you choose the size. A heating engineer can advise on positioning and confirm that a towel warmer suits your layout.

Heat Output and Fuel Options

Ultraheat publishes Trojan outputs to EN 442 at ΔT50. Some suppliers quote ΔT60 figures that look higher for the same radiator so check the temperature basis when you compare. A tall radiator does not automatically deliver enough heat for a large room. Use a BTU calculator or ask a heating engineer to confirm what the space needs.

The standard listing is for hot water central heating. Ultraheat says electric and dual fuel versions need additional elements and asks customers to contact them for a quote. For flat panel or conventional panel alternatives, see the full Ultraheat radiators range.

Installation, Valves and Weight

The manufacturer lists gross weights of about 15 kg for the 1300 mm model and 20 kg for the 1760 mm model. Water content is about 8.5 litres and 11.4 litres respectively. Make sure the wall and fixings can carry the filled weight.

Radiator valves are listed separately in the Valves and Accessories section and connection positions should be confirmed before ordering. Ultraheat recommends that pipework is not installed until the radiator has arrived. The listed warranty is five years so check the terms for your order.

They can be where the product information supports it. Ultraheat describes the Trojan as able to work as a towel warmer in a bathroom or kitchen with towel hooks added. Check the model page and confirm the output and layout with a heating engineer.

Can an Ultraheat Trojan radiator be used as a towel warmer?

Yes once towel hooks are added according to Ultraheat. The hooks are an addition to the radiator so confirm the option on the model page. Towels hung on the radiator can reduce the heat reaching the room so check that the output still meets the room requirement.

Are vertical radiators suitable for limited wall space?

Yes because they use height instead of width and that leaves the wider walls free for furniture. A Trojan is 390 mm wide so it can fit on a short stretch of wall. Measure ceiling height and clearances first and check that the listed output suits the room.

Can Ultraheat Trojan radiators run on electricity?

The standard listing is for hot water central heating. Ultraheat says electric and dual fuel versions need additional elements and asks customers to contact them for a quote. Confirm availability and installation requirements with Ultraheat and a qualified installer before you plan an electric setup.
