ELECTRIC RADIATORS
Silvestro Niboli began his career as an entrepreneur during a difficult time, after a challenging but enriching experience first as an emigrant and then as a worker in the metal industry. It was then that he conceived what nowadays is called his “vision�. He developed a brave, long-term perspective, despite in those days new options and opportunities were almost inconceivable, and what counted most was rather surviving than dreaming of a higher social position and a better world.
FONDITAL: HEATING SYSTEMS SINCE 1970 Over time the company grew and today Fondital is an integrated group of companies covering the entire production cycle, able to guarantee a full-fledged production and quality control.

ELECTRIC RADIATORS innovation means looking forward and expanding your horizons every day
Electric RADIATORS
Our whole range of electric radiators has been designed to obtain a quick and accurate response to changing room temperature needs in order to guarantee the highest level of comfort in any given moment and to reduce energy consumption. Each radiator can be controlled and/or programmed independently, thus providing each room with the right amount of heat when needed. Electric radiators can be powered by renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic (solar) panels and wind power, and therefore they can contribute to energy saving and pollution reduction. Fondital electric radiators are an eco-friendly, easy to use, fast response and affordable solution.
100% MADE BY
Why electric hea Electric radiators may be installed everywhere: in apartments, houses and chalets, offices, stores, hotels and bars, or in schools, gyms, hospitals, nursing homes and professional firms. Integrating an electric radiator to an existing heating system, preferring it to more commonly systems available today (heating plates, convectors, portable heating stoves) is not only an elegant solution, but it also allows to add value to the room where it is installed.

You could Save up to 25% When buying a electric radiator, it is of fundamental importance to verify the quality of its electronics. Efficient adjustment ensures maximum comfort and minimum energy consumption thus reducing electricity bills. Choosing a unit with little adjustment capacity is very counter-productive due to running costs. As time goes by it will cause energy waste and generate higher consumption with respect to high quality units. Operating costs however depend on the cost of electric at a given time. Assuming electricity costs 17p/hour per KW then the operating cost will then be 17p/hour for the 1KW model. This may not strictly be the case, as the thermostat within the radiator will limit the electricity when the room has reached its optimum temperature, reducing the running cost/hour by up to 25%. Considering the energy consumption of an average home, it is possible to estimate annual savings equivalent to hundreds of Pounds thanks to an electric radiator with effective electronic adjustment. For example, if adjustment efficiency is over 5, 10 or 15%, amounts of up to 50, 100 and 150 Pounds respectively can be saved per year. Fondital offers its customers a unique, high-quality product, with efficient electronic management that ensures electrical energy consumption savings up to 25%.

Who are Fondital? Fondital, an Italian Company founded in 1970, is a manufacturer of die-cast aluminium radiators. Its product range has grown over time to meet all technical and aesthetical requirements. Besides die-cast, extruded and design radiators, Fondital also produces gas convector heaters, electric radiators, wall-hung, floor standing and condensing boilers, renewable energy systems (solar panel and photovoltaic modules) and accessories.
What are the radiators made of? Fondital radiators are made of 100% recycled aluminium which comes from Raffmetal, part of Fondital Group. Raffmetal is the main European manufacturer of secondary aluminium alloys. The raw materials required for production are sourced from all over Europe, either as scrap material collected from aluminium processing companies, or as metal products that have reached the end of their life cycle.
How is the radiator painted? Fondital’s painting process has been designed to protect against corrosion from particles in the air in the room. The radiators undergo two coating phases, the first being an anaphoretic coating, essential for protection. The second being powder coating, which increases the protection. All radiators are painted white (RAL 9010). They undergo a 14 step process: • Fluorozirconate treatment • Rinsing • Anaphorectic coating • Rinsing • Stoving • Powder coating • Stoving • Spray washing • Spray Pre-degreasing • Immersion degreasing • Rinsing • Etching • Rinsing • Spray washing More information on the painting process is available on the Fondital YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/warminginnovation WARM COMFORT
What are they filled with and how does it create heat? The radiators are made of 100% recycled aluminium, both the body and side panels. They do not need liquid or gaseous fuels, they do not produce any type of combustion or emission to the atmosphere. They use electricity as the most safe, clean, ecological and economic option in the market, taking advantage of 100% of the consumed energy. The high performance of mineral thermal fluid used in the Fondital radiators allows its molecular structure to work on an average temperature of 45 °C ensuring a perfect thermal transmission. It doesn’t require maintenance or replacement and will retain its properties for life. The internal fluid is heated by means of an electrical resistor which has a control thermostat and safety thermal fuse.
