Radiators come in many shapes, sizes and configurations. A “standard” radiator is a wall or floor mounted unit. These radiators have evolved over time to become more sleek and stylish. Convector radiators, also know as baseboard radiators are straight sections of copper piping outfitted with numerous thin metal plates called fins.
