When do I need to use Low Surface Temperature radiators?

LST radiators are an ideal choice wherever high efficiency heating is required, yet where safety demands a low surface temperature i.e. where people may injure themselves if left in contact with a standard radiator. The range of Stelrad LST radiators reach a maximum 43°C and are ideal for residential homes, hospitals, schools, nurseries and children’s bedrooms.
