Radiators for those with dust allergies

If you are allergic to dust, or other air borne particles, then you should avoid installing radiators that work by convection.

If you are allergic to dust, or other air borne particles, then you should avoid installing radiators that work by convection. Convection radiators circulate air and accordingly will cause dust to be circulated around the room. Such movement of dust will aggravate the allergy. You are best to look for radiators that work by radiating heat, as opposed to convecting heat, as these designs cause less air and dust movement so are a better choice. Popular radiators that work by radiation are made of cast iron or stone, so are a good solution for those who suffer from dust allergies. Other options to consider are radiant panel heaters, electric radiators or glass and mirror radiators. Consider the ability of the radiator to retain dust and the ease of cleaning. Flat panel radiators that are easy to wipe down lend themselves particularly to those who suffer with allergies. Also, it is advised against drying clothes on radiators, as humidity can exacerbate symptoms. For further information on suitable products, it is worth contacting a radiator specialist or expert such as Feature Radiators.
