Black Vertical Column Radiators
Radiators
Radiator Design
Column radiators use a repeated section design. The number of columns affects the front-to-back depth, while the number of sections affects the overall width. Choose the wall position before comparing the profiles. Horizontal radiators can sit below a window, while a tall model can make use of a narrow wall. Compare a radiator’s depth with nearby doors and furniture as well as its overall height and width.
Size & Heat Output
A tall design can use a narrow stretch of wall. Check the available height and clearance around nearby doors, shelves and furniture. Check the room’s heat requirement and compare radiator outputs at the same stated temperature difference. Two radiators with similar outer dimensions can give different outputs depending on their construction. Include the valves and any pipe clearance when checking the available space.
Connections & Finish
Black finishes give a strong contrast against pale walls or tiles. Check the finish and care instructions for the model you choose. Check the pipe centres and connection position before replacing an existing radiator. Compare the finish beside the valves you intend to use, and read the listing to see whether brackets and other fittings are supplied. Electric models have their own power and control requirements.
