    Hello, I am looking for a heater for a room with an area of 20 m 2, 2.5 m high, i.e. 50 cubic meters. Better to choose aluminum or steel? The room is on the ground floor, insulated from above. Central heating: coal + wood.

    I found 2 heaters

    I am a supporter of steel radiators, they are more universal and reliable, but not teee ...
    If you want to buy a GOOD steel radiator that will serve you for many years and will not rust or yellow, the paint will not come off, it will heat up well - you have to pay a little more and look in other stores ......

    Brugman, Kermi or Radson.
    But I will repeat once again - I personally am a supporter of steel. I can't advise aluminum ones because I don't have much experience with them.

    Just a matter of taste.

    It is not a matter of taste that comes from physics, aluminum corrodes (oxidizes faster than it seems).

    Drop a photo of the aluminum radiator corroded from the inside.

    I think that chemical factors are present not only in aluminum but also in cast iron and metal. Somehow, this aluminum radiator that was in the house served for about 20 years and did not corrode but cracked, possibly from a negative temperature. I already know Markie, and what about the size of the radiator, because some are different, e.g. 10 ribs per 12 m2 and others also 10 ribs per 16 m2

    The number of ribs (radiator size and power) depends on the heat demand of a given room. To determine this, you need to know the volume, method of insulation, type of boiler (i.e. the temperature of the heating medium) and what temperature you want in the room.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting a radiator for a 20 m² room with a height of 2.5 m, totaling 50 cubic meters. The user is considering aluminum versus steel radiators, specifically the Prorad V22 600x1000 (steel) and Ragall Zero 50120 (aluminum). Responses indicate a preference for steel radiators due to their reliability and longevity, with recommendations for brands like Brugman, Kermi, and Radson. Concerns about aluminum radiators include their susceptibility to corrosion and oxidation, although some users report long-lasting aluminum models. The importance of radiator size and heat output, determined by room insulation and heating method, is also emphasized.
