Living Room Radiators

What radiators are best for living rooms?

The best radiator for your living room depends not only on your personal style, but on the room's heat requirements and available wall space.

For larger living rooms with wider walls, horizontal radiators are a popular choice, while vertical radiators can fit nicely into narrower spaces while still heating your room effectively. Column radiators are perfect for adding character and charm to your living space, whereas designer radiators can elevate a modern room. 

Whichever style you choose, make sure it provides enough BTU output for the space.

 

How do I choose a living room radiator?

Start by calculating the BTU output your living room needs, taking into account factors such as the size of your living room, its insulation level, and the number of windows. Once you know the required heat output, consider the wall space available and choose a radiator that fits comfortably.

Then you can think about the radiator's style and finish, particularly in a living room where you likely spend a lot of time. Choose a design that complements your existing decor while providing sufficient heat for the space.

 

What size radiator do I need for my living room?

The right radiator size depends on the room’s heat requirements rather than its dimensions alone.

Calculate the BTU output needed before choosing a radiator, then check its height, width and depth to make sure it fits your available wall space. Larger living rooms may require a higher output radiator or more than one radiator.

 

What styles of living room radiators are available?

Living room radiators are available in a wide range of styles. As well as choosing between horizontal and vertical, there are various colours and finishes to consider, depending on your living room’s aesthetic.

For versatility, you could choose a classic white radiator, or for something more contemporary, an anthracite radiator could be the choice for you. 

We stock a full range of radiators in various shapes, sizes and finishes, whatever your heating requirements and design preferences.

 

Are vertical radiators suitable for living rooms?

Yes, vertical radiators are perfect for smaller living rooms where horizontal wall space is limited. They utilise wall height rather than width, and can work particularly well alongside sofas or other furniture.
