🧼 Preparation

Before fitting Add2Rad, ensure the radiator surface (skirting) is ready:

• Clean the radiator surface using a suitable cleaner
• Ensure the surface is fully dry before applying
• Remove dust, debris or loose paint
• Check for sharp edges or contaminants that may affect bonding
• Confirm access to the radiator and surrounding space

A clean, dry surface is essential for long-term performance.

🛠 Step-by-Step Installation

1. Plan the Layout

• Identify where the Add2Rad strips will be applied
• Ensure the layout avoids overlaps (unless specified)
• Consider access, pipe layout, and tricky areas

2. Add the fixings

3. Apply the ThermaSkirt

4. Connect to the tails

5. Refill & Bleed (If System Was Drained)

• Restore system pressure
• Bleed radiators as required
• Check for balanced heating across all emitters

6. Optimise Flow Temperature

• Use the Flow Temperature Calculator as a baseline
• Fine-tune based on room comfort and system behaviour
• Apply heat pump optimisation where relevant

Consistent adhesion and correct flow temperature are the foundations of Add2Rad performance.

📋 Handover Checklist

Once installation is complete, ensure the resident understands the basics:

• Explain what has been done
• Reassure them that radiators may feel cooler to the touch
• Provide the Tenant Checklist
• Provide the Comfort Explainer
• Confirm they know how to reach support if needed

Clear communication increases resident confidence and reduces call-backs.
