Bedroom Radiators

Ready to choose your bedroom radiator? Check out the FAQs below to help you make the right decision for your space.

 

What type of radiator is best for a bedroom?

The best radiator for your bedroom depends on the size of the room, the heat output required and the space available. 

Horizontal radiators are a popular, versatile choice for wider walls and underneath windows, while vertical radiators make good use of narrower wall space. 

Designer radiators are perfect for an elevated bedroom style, and column radiators can add character to more traditional bedroom designs.

 

Are electric radiators suitable for bedrooms?

Yes! Electric radiators can be a convenient choice for bedrooms, particularly if you want greater control over when the room’s heating is switched on. 

They're available in a range of sizes and styles, so you can choose an option that suits your space and heating requirements. Always check the product's heat output and installation requirements before buying.

 

What size radiator do I need for my bedroom?

The right radiator size depends on the amount of heat your bedroom needs, which can be affected by factors such as room size, insulation, windows and external walls. 

Once you've calculated the required BTU output, choose a radiator that provides enough heat while fitting comfortably on your available wall space. Remember to check the radiator's height, width and depth before buying.

How many radiators do I need in my bedroom?

Most bedrooms will only need one radiator, but this generally depends on the room's size and insulation.

Larger bedrooms or rooms with poor insulation may benefit from more than one radiator. 

Use a BTU calculator to work out the total heat output your bedroom requires, then choose one or more radiators based on the result.

 

Are vertical radiators suitable for bedrooms?

While horizontal radiators are often more common in a bedroom, vertical radiators can also be an excellent choice, particularly where wall space is limited. 

Their tall, narrow design utilises the bedroom wall height rather than width, while still available in a range of heat outputs to suit different room sizes. 

They also come in a variety of finishes and styles, including white, black, and anthracite, making it easy to find an option to complement your bedroom’s design.
