Types of Traditional Column Radiators

Choosing the right radiator is key to achieving both warmth and style in your home. Whether you prefer vertical column radiators or horizontal radiators, there’s a popular choice to suit every space.

Cast Iron Column Radiators

Traditional column radiators in cast iron are perfect for period homes. They retain heat beautifully and continue to warm your room even after the heating is off. These traditional radiators bring an authentic vintage touch with excellent durability.

Steel Column Radiators

Modern column radiators in steel offer high heat output and versatile style. They come in white column radiators, black column radiators, and anthracite column radiators—ideal for both classic and contemporary interiors.

Aluminium Column Radiators

Looking for efficient column radiators? Aluminium models heat up quickly and are lightweight, making them perfect for rooms that need rapid warmth without compromising on style.

Horizontal Radiators

Horizontal radiators are a popular choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and under windows. Their low profile makes them perfect for maximising wall space while providing consistent heat throughout the room.

Vertical Column Radiators

If you’re short on space, vertical column radiators with elegant vertical tubes are ideal. These radiators add height, create visual impact, and deliver great heat output in narrow or compact areas.

Triple Column Radiators

For maximum performance, triple column radiators are a smart option. With three columns, these radiators offer a greater surface area, producing high heat output to warm larger spaces quickly and efficiently.

Special Radiator Options

We also offer towel radiators and towel rails for bathrooms and kitchens, as well as mini radiators for smaller rooms. If you need flexible solutions, our electric radiators are both stylish and energy-conscious.

Benefits of Column Radiators

Great Heat Output with Traditional Style

One of the key benefits of column radiators is their high heat output. Their column design creates a larger surface area for fast and effective room heating.

Unlike standard panel radiators, traditional radiators with multi-column designs (including triple column models) distribute heat evenly and provide a charming, timeless feature that complements a wide range of interior design styles.

Efficient and Energy-Conscious

Efficient column radiators help you heat your home effectively while managing your heating bills. Pair them with thermostatic radiator valves for even greater energy control and savings.

Flexible Sizing and Customisation

Finding the right size column radiator is easy with our smart online filters and grid. Whether you need a compact radiator for a bedroom or a tall vertical design for a hallway, we offer a full selection of sizes and finishes to suit every space.

Designed to Suit Every Home

Choose from white radiators, black radiators, anthracite radiators, or the industrial look of raw metal column radiators. Our range of column radiators can seamlessly match any room—whether you’re after a bold contrast or subtle elegance.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

Installing Column Radiators

Measure your space carefully to select the right size column radiator for your room. Always account for insulation levels and heat output needs.

We recommend professional installation—especially for cast iron radiators and triple column radiators—to ensure safe mounting and optimal performance.

When installing vertical column radiators or heavier models, it’s important to confirm your walls can safely support the radiator’s weight.

Position your radiators strategically—under windows or on external walls—to maximise heat efficiency and reduce cold spots.

Maintaining Column Radiators

Looking after your column radiators is simple and helps ensure they continue to perform at their best:

  • Clean regularly to remove dust and dirt that can reduce efficiency.
  • Bleed radiators when needed to release trapped air and improve heat circulation.
  • Check valves and joints for leaks or wear.
  • Book annual servicing to keep your heating system in excellent condition.
  • Preserve the finish of white radiators, black radiators, and anthracite column radiators with occasional paint touch-ups.

We also offer a selection of accessories to help maintain and enhance your radiators, including thermostatic valves, brackets, and decorative radiator covers.

Choosing the Right Column Radiator

Selecting the perfect radiator involves balancing style, size, heat output, and budget.

Whether you want white column radiators for a minimal look, black column radiators for bold contrast, or raw metal column radiators for an industrial edge, we have a radiator to complement your interior design.

Our expert team can help you find the right size column radiator to suit your space, ensuring you enjoy efficient heating and comfortable living.
