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.

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.

...thinking ahead means excelling, also when it comes to energy saving.

Why electric heating?

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%.

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
