All our radiators (except Palaos) are supplied with a template and installation kit to help you install effectively. This should contain a template,  3 upper and 1 lower wall brackets, rawl plugs and the necessary screws.

We also supply an instruction manual for installation, programming and cleaning. If you have mislaid this manual, head to our download section, where you can find all Rointe manuals.

Recommendations for positioning

The process to install Rointe radiators is quite straight-forward, therefore won’t take you too long.

Firstly, you need to choose the correct place to install.  As Rointe radiators work via natural convection, it’s important to consider a few things before picking your installation point.

We recommend a wall away from drafts like doors and with sufficient space so the radiator won’t be obscured by furniture.
