How to Select a Designer Radiator That Fits Your Lifestyle

Choosing the right designer radiator goes beyond simply picking the style you like. The radiator you settle on should complement the way you use your home on a day-to-day basis. So, here are a couple of key points to consider before making your decision:

Matching Heat Output to Real-World Room Use

The heat output (BTU) for designer radiators can vary from model to model. So, the radiator you choose should match how the room is actually used every day. For living rooms or open-plan spaces that are used frequently, higher BTU radiators would be ideal to keep the space warm and comfortable.

For hallways or guest bedrooms, you may only need a designer radiator with a moderate output since those spaces are not used as frequently and don't require the same level of continuous heat.

Choosing Orientation Based on Furniture Layout

Your room's current layout will influence whether you should choose a horizontal or vertical radiator. If you're buying a radiator for a room where wall space is quite limited, a vertical radiator would work best.

If your room has windows with available space beneath them, a horizontal radiator may be the more practical option, as it makes good use of otherwise unused wall area.

Material Performance: Fast Heat vs Heat Retention

Different radiator materials offer different heating benefits. For example, aluminium radiators are energy-efficient and can heat up quickly, whereas stainless steel radiators are slower to heat. However, aluminium radiators also cool down much faster, whereas stainless steel models can retain heat for longer.

So, consider your daily routine and personal heating preferences when deciding which performance style suits your needs best.

Style, Colour and Wall Space Considerations

Designer radiators come in a variety of shapes, colours, and finishes. So, make sure that the unit you choose complements your room's décor - whether that's sleek modern lines, subtle minimalist tones, or bold statement colours.

Of course, don't forget to pay attention to the wall space you have to work with to ensure that the unit fits comfortably and doesn't overpower the room.

FAQs About Designer Radiators

What makes a radiator a "designer" model?

Unlike traditional radiators, which are mostly defined by their performance and energy-efficiency, these decorative radiators place just as much emphasis on style and visual impact. They are made to function both as a heating unit and a statement piece that can enhance the overall décor of your room.

Do designer radiators heat a room as effectively as standard ones?

A radiator's ability to heat a room effectively depends on its heat output (BTU) rather than its finish, style, or design. The higher the BTU is, the more capable the radiator will be at heating the space.

So, as long as the designer radiator you choose provides the required BTU for the size of your room, it will perform just as well as a standard, non-designer model.

When does a vertical radiator make more sense?

Vertical radiators make more sense when the available space or layout of the room doesn't allow for a standard horizontal radiator. They're especially useful in places where wall width is limited, such as:

• Narrow rooms
• Small apartments
• Hallways
• Kitchens and bathrooms

Aside from being a practical option, vertical radiators can also work well when you want to create a contemporary focal point or are striving for a more streamlined appearance.

How do I work out the BTU requirement for my room?

To work out the BTU requirement for your room, multiply the room's length, width, and height to get the cubic volume. Then, multiply that number by a BTU factor (usually between 40 and 60, depending on your room's insulation).

If your room is well insulated, opt for a lower factor. If it's poorly insulated or you're not sure, use a higher one. To get the most accurate results, consider using an online BTU calculator.

Is aluminium worth the upgrade?

Yes, aluminium can be worth the upgrade, especially if you want a radiator that heats up quickly and is energy-efficient. The main trade-off that you need to consider is that they cool down faster too, so if you prefer steady, long-lasting heat, steel might be the better option for you.

Can these radiators be used with electric or dual-fuel systems?

It depends on the radiator you're considering. At Heat and Plumb, we clearly indicate whether a particular model is suitable for central heating only, electric use, or dual-fuel setups.

If you already know what you're looking for, consider using the filter system on the left side of this page. Simply go down to "Fuel" and tick the option you need. This will narrow down your options and show you only radiators that match your preferred fuel type.

Are there custom finishes available?

Yes, the finish of some of the designer rads you'll come across on this page can be customised to your preference. For example, the EcoRad Legacy Horizontal Column Radiator is available in over 20 custom colours, including Light Ivory, Ruby Red, Reed Green, and Pebble Grey, to name a few.
