Why Choose Black Radiators?
A Smart Choice for Modern Heating
Black finish radiators are a leading trend in UK radiators, offering a bold, architectural look that complements all décor styles—from all-white bathrooms to rustic industrial kitchens. A black towel radiator or a sleek black column radiator can transform your space with both function and elegance.
Thanks to our premium powder-coated process, applied at temperatures above 200°C, your black finish is locked into the steel, ensuring long-lasting colour without flaking, fading, or peeling.
Energy-Efficient Performance
Contrary to popular belief, black radiators can actually improve radiant heat transfer, helping you warm your space more efficiently. Whether you choose double panel radiators or single panel models, our central heating radiators deliver quick, energy-saving heat.
Many of our aluminium radiators also require less water to heat, further reducing running costs.
Low-Maintenance Durability with Designer Appeal
Our black bathroom radiators, kitchen radiators, and living room radiators feature low-maintenance finishes that resist fingerprints, smudges, and watermarks. A simple wipe with a microfibre cloth is enough to keep them looking showroom-ready.
Matte and satin finishes make our radiators perfect for busy homes, commercial spaces, and hotels, where quality, performance, and easy cleaning are essential.
Popular Styles of Black Radiators – Find the Perfect Fit
Vertical Column Radiators – Space-Saving Heating Solutions
Our vertical column radiators are perfect for narrow spaces like galley kitchens, entrance halls, and modern apartments. Available in slimline heights of up to 1800 mm, including oval designs, these radiators maximise convection currents and draw the eye upward.
They are also available as electric radiators for spaces where plumbing isn’t practical.
Horizontal Designer Radiators – Practical and Stylish
Horizontal designer radiators work perfectly under windows, in low-partition walls, and in living rooms where a balance of heat output and style is needed. Our selection includes flat panel radiator styles with single panel and double panel options to suit your space and desired watts output.
Traditional Radiators – Iron Style with Modern Efficiency
Our iron style traditional radiators bring period elegance to homes with a modern heating upgrade. Available in black column radiator styles, these are perfect for heritage spaces and classic décors. Pair with radiator valves in chrome or brass for a vintage look.
Designer & Feature Radiators – Statement Pieces

BTU Output and Sizing Guide – Choosing the Right Radiator
Step-by-Step BTU Calculation
Choosing the correct radiator size is simple:
- Measure your room: length × width × height in metres.
- Multiply by 153 (for living rooms) or 180 (for bathrooms) to estimate your BTU output.
- Add 10% for rooms with large patio doors or a north-facing aspect.
Example:
4 m × 3 m lounge with 2.4 m ceilings → 4 × 3 × 2.4 = 28.8 m³ → 28.8 × 153 ≈ 4,400 BTU.
Recommended: Reina Hedingham 600 × 1000 mm double panel radiator – BTU output: 5,066.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do black radiators heat less efficiently than white radiators?
No. Central heating radiators in black provide the same—or sometimes better—BTU output as white radiators or chrome radiators. Colour does not reduce heat efficiency.
Will the black paint chip?
Our radiators are powder-coated and cured at high temperatures, creating a highly durable finish. They resist everyday knocks and scratches, but touch-up kits are available for deep marks.
Are black radiators more expensive to run?
No. Many black designer radiators are made from aluminium or slimline steel, which heats quickly and uses less water. This can lower your energy bills compared to chunkier, older models.
Can I mix radiator valve finishes?
Yes. You can combine black radiators with brass, copper, or chrome radiator valves for a bespoke finish. Just make sure you select the correct thread size (½" BSP).
How do I clean and maintain my black radiator?
Dust weekly with a soft brush attachment and clean with a microfibre cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
