We recently had the Metro Vertical Radiator – Matt Black, Double Panel (1600 mm × 472 mm) installed in my son’s Star Wars‑themed bedroom, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From a design standpoint, it’s perfect. The sleek matte black finish blends beautifully with the darker accents (lightsaber stands, black shelving, starfield murals), and it adds a subtle “industrial‑tech” vibe that complements the space theme. It feels more like part of the décor than just a functional radiator. Installation was surprisingly straightforward. The wall brackets were solid, the alignment was clean, and getting it level was done without stress. All the fittings lined up well, which made life easy for our installer—clearly made to good tolerances. Heat performance is excellent. The room warms up quickly and evenly, even on colder mornings, and maintains a comfortable temperature without needing to push the boiler too hard. No cold spots, just steady warmth, which is exactly what we want in a child’s room. What really finishes things off nicely are the Monza Modern Matt Black Angled Thermostatic Radiator Valves (BLK‑TRV‑ANG). These valves are high quality—solid, well‑made, with smooth operation. The matte black finish matches the radiator perfectly and adds to the cohesive look. They’re thermostatic, so we’re able to fine‑tune the temperature exactly, which helps with energy saving. The angled design also means the pipework is neat, and there’s nothing sticking out awkwardly. They feel premium, not the kind of flimsy thing you substitute just to save a few pounds.
