Thermostatic Radiator Valve or Manual Radiator Valve 

What is the difference between the thermostatic radiator valve and standard manual radiator valves 

• What is a thermostatic radiator valve - The Thermostatic Radiator Valve or TRV as its known gives you the individual temperature control that will be constant. If the weather changes and gets cold the thermostatic control will increase the heat to that radiator to ensure the room temperature stays the same all year round, in the same way, your central heating operates.
• What is a manual standard radiator valve - Manual valves are just like a standard tap it stops the flow of hot water entering the main radiator. Subsequently, the radiator will start to cool and go cold. 

Radiator Valve Shapes - Round or Square Valves

Valves tend to either come in round or square shapes, which shape you choose will often boil down to radiator shape. As a rule of thumb, we recommend that you use a square bar radiator for square valves and round valves for a rounder shaped radiator towel rails  This shape is is all about your design choice.
