Radiators

Radiators Provide Modern & Traditional Heating Solutions

Radiators create warmth and comfort throughout our buildings. They are one of the most efficient, convenient, and popular ways to heat our homes, offices, pubs, and hotels. The traditional type in Europe is radiative central heating systems. They use a central boiler that heats water (or another liquid). The hot water pumps through pipes and to the radiator units. The units can have panels of multiple fins, which increases their surface area, and they transfer the heat to the surrounding air. This process is called convection. As you can chain a series of units together, you can install them in many different rooms. From a single point, you can heat entire buildings.

When you think about a radiator, you might think about plain white panels and bulky cast-iron structures mounted on a wall or floor. But, as interior design changes and technology progresses, appearances change, and so does how we deliver heat. We might be more considerate of how a heater looks now. We might also think about how we utilise wall space within a room and how invasive an installation could be. Some buildings might need more compact, plug-in devices. Sometimes, it's easier to hook up an electric heater rather than install recessed or surface-mounted pipework. That said, old-fashioned and vintage-style central heating is still incredibly popular in today's market.

We have a huge range of radiators available. You can order online or over the phone, where you can talk to one of our experts for advice and guidance. Below, we have summarised some of the models we offer.

Central Heating Radiators

These are plumbed appliances. They offer excellent heating efficiency and heat output. Because these systems are connected, each unit is controlled by a central boiler. The boiler heats water, which is pumped through pipes to each of the units. The water doesn't fill each radiator and remains there. Instead, it flows through each one, heating them as it goes through the entire chain. The water is at its hottest when it enters the first heater and cools gradually as it moves through each subsequent unit. When the water reaches the last heater, it's at its coolest point before it returns to the boiler. Next, the water is reheated, and the cycle repeats as long as you have the system is running. As you'll want to heat a building equally, the flow of water to each heater can be adjusted and restricted with a valve so that each unit of the system reaches a similar temperature. Adjusting the water flow is called balancing. Balancing also allows you to control the heat output of each radiator to regulate the temperature of different rooms.

This type of heating system does require pipework. Depending on the building, the installation can be straightforward but sometimes complex. Pipes can be recessed and hidden away into some walls, but if you're dealing with solid or load-bearing surfaces, you might have to have settled for exposed, surface-mounted infrastructures. Although reasonably reliable, this type of central heating does need some maintenance. You might have to learn how to bleed your radiators, and boilers can break down.

Our central heating collection offers a range of colours, like stylish anthracite, infinity steel, or classic white. We also supply various designs, including single and double panel, vertical, and column radiators.

Electric Radiators

These are a great, modern-day choice for indoor heating. You don't need to install pipework, and you don't need a gas supply to have an electric panel heater in any room. These electric heaters are filled with thermodynamic fluid, like an oil. The thermodynamic fluid expands and gives off heat when electricity is sent through the unit. The fluid warms the surface of the appliance and heats the air.

Electric radiators are energy-efficient and easy to install. They're light, easily mounted, and you only need a power socket or fused spur to power them. With them being single units, they feature a thermostat so that you can control the temperature with ease. Like much modern electrical equipment, you can find models with digital displays and network connectivity to make them more convenient.

Towel Radiators

Heated towel rails are perfect for heating bathrooms. They have an element inside and are filled with a mixture of water and an anti-corrosion chemical. When electricity is supplied to the device, the element heats up and heats the fluid. Generally, towel rails produce less heat than other devices, but they'll still allow you to make the room more comfortable and cosy, and your towels dry and toasty!

Towel rail radiators are safe and easy to install. We have a brilliant range available, with stylish finishes, colours, and designs to suit any modern or traditional toilet or bathroom.

Convector Heaters

These are great for larger rooms that do not have central heating. They are small, portable appliances you can plug in and use for instant heat. They are perfect for homes, offices, accommodation, and other locations.

Convectors are not fan-forced, so they are quiet and use less energy. They do not blow air around a room; they use a natural process to spread heat throughout a room. These units contain an element that converts energy to heat by passing an electrical current through a specifically designed resistance wire, warming the surrounding air. The heated air becomes less dense than the cooler air in the room, allowing it to rise. Cooler air then surrounds the element, creating a heating cycle.
