Heights from 300 to 900 mm
Vita Compact is listed in 300, 450, 600, 700 and 900 mm heights, with a small number of 1800 mm verticals. A 900 mm height gives more heat from a shorter width, while a 300 mm height keeps the radiator low under a window.

Reading the product names
Vita Compact listings vary in format. Some read "Stelrad Vita Compact Double K2 600mm x 1200mm", others "Stelrad Vita Compact 600 K3 800". In both, the first figure is the height and the second the width, in millimetres. If a listing is unclear, check the specification table on the product page.
Sizing for the room
Get an estimate of the heat the room needs from our BTU calculator, which gives a figure in BTU, then match it to a listed output. Each product page shows its rated output, and the test condition (ΔT) where it is stated. Outputs are only directly comparable when both products state the same ΔT.
The wider Vita family
Stelrad also sells Vita Deco and Vita Silhouette, which appear in searches for "Stelrad Vita". Browse the Stelrad collection for those ranges, compare Stelrad Elite for long walls, see all panel radiators, or use the radiator finder.
