Any wall that you want to hang a radiator on needs to be able to carry the weight of the appliance.
The heavier the radiator – cast-iron-style for example – the stronger and more structurally sound the wall will need to be.
condition of the wall matter
A wall like the one above will need to be dramatically reinforced before a heavy radiator is installed on it – but common sense again should prevail, nobody in their right mind would fit a radiator to this wall before it was made to look considerably better than it currently does.
You shouldn’t hang a radiator on any wall that requires plastering BEFORE it has been plastered.
Doing so may cause even further damage and disintegration to the wall and will certainly lead to loose fixtures and fittings that will damage your new radiator – and as anyone who reads our blog regularly will tell you, damaging radiators just isn’t on and you’ll have to see me after school if you so much as think about damaging your new radiator.
It’s just not heating cricket!
