A Guide To Purchasing The Perfect Bathroom Radiator
As the temperature plummets, radiators save us from the cold, helping to keep our homes warm and cosy, no matter the weather conditions. This is especially true of our bathrooms, a place we relax and unwind. After all, bathrooms are often exposed to external walls, making them chilly, draughty and susceptible to dampness, which is why it’s so important to get your heating element right.
Let’s take a closer look at just some of the most common types of radiators found in bathrooms and how they could work for you:
Horizontal Radiators
Typical of most UK households, horizontal radiators are incredibly common and can be found placed lengthways across a wall, usually made from steel and brushed with industrial white paint. Unfortunately, this does mean they’re easily the least aesthetically pleasing type of radiator on this list, but they’re incredibly efficient, durable and can be used in any room in the house.
Vertical Radiators
Perfect for making use of the vertical space, vertical radiators are an increasingly popular choice for bathroom fittings, offering a contemporary aesthetic that’s incredibly practical. With enormous heat outputs, they’ll easily heat your space, whilst they can even be fitted with hooks or towel rails, transforming them into a portable towel heater.
Traditional Radiators
Incredibly durable and well designed, traditional bathroom radiators are known for bringing a classic aesthetic to your bathroom, providing a sense of heritage to your space. Able to balance both traditional and modern designs, in a variety of different colours, these radiators offer individuality in spades. Typically, floor-standing radiators are designed for easy installation, combining traditional aesthetics with modern installation techniques, meaning your bathroom will become a warm and comfortable place to relax in no time.
Electric Radiators
Suited to smaller spaces, such as apartments, cloakrooms or smaller bathrooms, electric radiators are commonly found in spaces in which it could be more difficult to plumb a radiator into the central heating system. Requiring less output to heat the space, electric radiators can be plugged either into a separate outlet or wired directly into the mains by a qualified professional. Perfect for heating your bathroom, a freestanding electric radiator can even double-up an electric towel heater, as they’re usually fitted with rails.
