These specialised units consist of a Type 11 internal heat emitter (one steel panel and one row of convector fins) housed inside a highly engineered protective casing. Designed to meet strict NHS and HSE safety guidelines, the robust outer casing ensures the surface temperature never exceeds 43°C, completely eliminating the risk of contact burns in commercial, educational, and healthcare environments.
The positives of single panel configurations
While double panel LSTs are required for heating large wards or open-plan classrooms, installers actively specify single panel LSTs to solve space-restriction challenges.
- Slimline footprint: A single panel configuration drastically reduces the physical depth of the unit. This is critical when installing safety heating in narrow care home corridors, small accessible WCs, or cramped school cloakrooms.
- Wheelchair and DDA compliance: Because the unit sits tighter against the wall, it prevents the radiator from obstructing wheelchair access routes, helping facilities maintain strict minimum corridor width regulations.
- Targeted heat output: In highly insulated modern buildings or very small rooms, a single panel prevents the space from overheating while still delivering the mandatory 43°C safe-touch surface requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between a single panel and a double panel LST?
The difference lies in the internal heat emitter and the resulting depth of the safety casing. A single panel (Type 11) LST features one water-filled panel and a slimmer casing. A double panel (Type 22) LST contains two internal panels, generating nearly double the heat output but protruding much further into the room.
Are single panel LST radiators easy to clean?
Yes. To maintain strict hygiene standards in hospitals and care homes, the outer safety casings of single panel LST radiators are designed for easy maintenance. The flat-panel casings are typically coated in anti-bacterial paint and feature reversible or drop-down access, allowing cleaning staff to remove dust from the internal fins without requiring specialised tools.
Can single panel LSTs be installed in domestic homes?
Yes. While heavily specified for commercial properties, single panel LSTs are increasingly installed in domestic properties to protect young children or vulnerable elderly family members from accidental burns. Their slim design makes them particularly suitable for narrow domestic hallways.
