Designer Radiators

Designer radiators give you more choice over the shape, size and finish of your heating, from vertical models to wider horizontal designs and mirrored options. 

The important bit is finding one that fits the available wall space and gives the room enough heat.

 

What is a designer radiator?

A designer radiator does the same job as a standard convector radiator, but gives you more choice over how it looks and fits into the room. Designs can be tall, wide, flat, curved or mirrored, with colours ranging from white and anthracite to black, brass and brighter finishes. 

Most of our range can be connected to your central heating system, with designer electric radiators also available.

 

Are designer radiators any good?

Yes, as long as you choose one that gives the room enough heat. Being classed as a designer radiator is mainly about its shape and appearance; it doesn't automatically make it better or worse at heating a room!

 

Are designer radiators efficient?

A designer radiator isn't automatically more or less efficient because of its shape, colour or style. What matters is choosing a radiator that can provide enough heat for the room and using your heating sensibly. 

The quickest way to compare models is to check their rated BTU output against the heat requirements of your room.

 

What size designer radiator do I need?

Choose the size around both your available wall space and how much heat the room needs. Calculate the required BTU first, then look for a radiator that provides enough heat while fitting comfortably in the space. 

Our BTU calculation guide will help you work out how much heat your room needs.

Always check the individual product's heat output rather than judging by dimensions alone - a larger model doesn’t necessarily mean more heat!

 

What designer radiator finishes are available?

This is where designer radiators really come into their own; there's much more than white to choose from!

Our designer radiators include anthracite, black, chrome, brass and other metallic finishes, alongside blue, green, red, yellow and selected neutral shades. 

You'll also find different materials, including aluminium radiators. That gives you the option to let the radiator blend in or make it more of a statement.

 

Do I need new radiator valves for a designer radiator?

When investing in a striking designer radiator, it's also worth buying updated radiator valves. 

Our range includes both manual and thermostatic radiator valves, ensuring you find the perfect finishing touch for your new designer radiator.
