Understanding Radiator Options 

Choosing the right radiator can make all the difference when it comes to comfort, efficiency and style in your home. From sleek single panel designs to high-performance double panels and timeless column radiators, there’s a solution to suit every space and style.

Single Panel Radiators

One of the biggest advantages of choosing a single panel radiator is its sleek simplicity. Its slim profile makes it an ideal choice for spaces where you want to maximise floor space or maintain a clean, uncluttered look. Single panel radiators are typically used in hallways, smaller rooms or modern open-plan areas where understated style and efficient heating go hand in hand.

Double Panel Radiators

Double panel radiators offer exceptional heat output. With two layers of panels working together, it warms a room quickly and efficiently, making it ideal for larger living areas, kitchens or rooms with higher ceilings.

Column Radiators

Column radiators are loved for their versatility as much as their style. Available in a range of heights, lengths, and column configurations, they can be tailored to fit almost any space—whether under a window, in an alcove, or on a feature wall—while still delivering powerful, efficient warmth. Stylish and adaptable, a column radiator helps your home feel cosy, inviting, and effortlessly well-designed.

What Size of Radiator do I need?

When choosing a radiator, the first thing you need to do is work out what size of radiator you’re going to need. Online Heat Calculators will help – all you need to do is enter the dimensions of the room and answer a few questions about it such as room type and insulation, and the calculator will tell you the wattage required per room. This will give you an indication of the size – and prices – of the radiators that will be perfect for each room, from which you can then choose the one you like best. However, it’s always best to double-check your calculations with your plumber or your radiator expert before you buy.

Some radiators are better suited to one room over another. In the bathroom, for instance, heated towel rails are an obvious choice. Many have dual-fuel options, meaning that when the central heating’s off, you can continue to ensure your towels are warm and dry. In the lounge, you might want to have a radiator that’s attractive enough to be the centre of attention in its own right. If you have an awkwardly shaped hallway, use a vertical radiator, which will make the most of the space whilst still providing a warm welcome to your home.
