uk style radiators?

hi.

i'm desperately trying to find a stockist of uk style, steel radiators, as opposed to the spanish aluminium ones.

typical of the type sold at wickes / b&q etc.

preferably in the granada / malaga / antequera areas but will possibly travel further.

thanks.

Re: uk style radiators?

cheers - would appreciate the info.

plumbers merchants here don't do 'em, i found a stockist in granad but he was strictly 'trade only' - would not sell them to a gringo like me!

Steve.

Are you sure ?
I wouldn`t of thought anyone was trade only nowdays, I always get a discount at mine.
If they insist then get a plumber to get them for you.

Re: uk style radiators?

there is only one plumber in my area, he won't do anything for anyone, unless he is doing the work himself [and fleecing people for the work too!].

trust me, i've tried all angles.

i just need a supplier that stocks them who sells to the public.

someone on another forum 'thinks' he saw some at leroy merlin in malaga, but they are not mentiond on the l.m. website.

cheers. steve g.

Re: uk style radiators?

yup! i don't want them because a: they are ugly! but more seriously, they are aluminium, they fur up and rot and the fitting between rad and valve end up leaking.

thanks anyhow.

Ali and brass have a chemical reaction that is not good, like you say.
