Designer Radiators: Why They’re a Great Addition to Any Home

Designer Radiators: Why They’re a Great Addition to Any Home

If you want to buy a designer radiator, but you’re unsure about whether they’ll live up to the task, then you’ve come to the right place. Here, we are going to dispel the myth that designer radiators are a waste of money when compared to other types of radiator. By the time you reach the end of this article, we’re sure that you will have a positive view of designer radiators.

• Designer Radiators Can Be Very EfficientOne of the main reasons that people assume that designer radiators are less efficient than traditional radiators is because they realise that surface area dictates the amount of heat output, and that designer radiators often have less surface area.

However, this is not true in a strict sense. It might be true that the radiator takes up less space (usually in an unusual way, e.g. a leaf radiator takes up less space per se, but the same amount of wall space), but it is not true that they necessarily have less surface area.

Manufactures use special techniques to increase surface area, such as double panelling (e.g. a leaf behind a leaf) and convection fins. These can be hidden behind the radiator, so that they don’t impact on aesthetics.

Other techniques that they may employ in order to increase efficiency include the addition of thermostatic radiator valves, special coatings, and specific materials. The easy way to check the efficiency of the radiator is to read the efficiency rating. If you live in the UK and you are buying from the UK, then this should be easy enough to find and is usually signalled in the product description.  Designer Radiators Have BTU p/h Ratings As Does Any Other RadiatorIn the UK, we rate the heat output of our radiators in BTU p/h. some people believe that stylish radiators are somehow less warm than traditional radiators. To ensure this isn’t the case for you, just buy a radiator that has the correct BTU p/h.

Even with designer radiators, the manufacturers and retailers will tell you how many BTU p/h it can produce. you just need to match this to the room. if it doesn’t produce enough, then simply choose the next size up, or consider adding two radiators to the room.  Designer Radiators Are Built to High SpecificationsFinally, the best thing about stylish radiators is that they are built to very high specifications. The manufactures are concerned with carving out a niche in an exclusive market, and so they make sure that they offer people the highest quality in terms of the choice of material, the style, and performance. In fact, designer radiators frequently outperform standard radiators in all categories (style, performance, heat output, efficiency, etc.). In the long run, the extra money they cost will often save you money.
