Product Information

These few ideas should inspire you to go from a tired looking radiator to a wonderful feature you can use and hide your radiator.

Hallways, entries and other, more confined spaces present a whole range of issues when it comes to disguising your radiator. Kitchens – A narrow vertical radiator is ideal for keeping your kitchen warm throughout the winter months. It should sit near a window or ideally be placed close to the door to maximise its effectiveness. Despite improvements to insulation, many people will still choose to put their radiator below the window. This is a decision which often comes down to available space. Curtains can be dangerous if you have a convector radiator that releases heat from the top. This design will suffer the most from curtains and can present a fire risk. Living Room – A short horizontal radiator is a good option for living rooms because it won’t take up much space. However, it does mean that you’ll need to keep an eye on the temperature so that it doesn’t get too hot.Radiator Cover TIP 2: your radiator cover will absorb some heat; which means you could lose some heat, take that into account when designing or choosing a cover.

Consider the size of the room, as larger spaces will likely require radiators with a higher heat output or maybe even multiple radiators in some cases. If unsure, try our heating calculator, which will help narrow down your search.

See old pipework as a challenge to change rather than a limit to your creativity. Interior design gets a lot more fun once you do away with tired old traditions! Conservatory – A short horizontal radiator is a must-have for your conservatory as it can fit neatly underneath the large windows; helping to reduce the amount of cold air that drops down from the window ledge onto the floor. Small towel warmers – The obvious choice for small bathrooms, cloakrooms or downstairs toilets where space is in short supply but you also need to keep towels (or coats) dry.

A radiator than runs the length under a window can be turned into a great piece of functional furniture. Once covered with a decorative radiator cover, and with a full length shelf can display your accessories, family photos, vacation mementos, or lamps. The X decorative design, contrasts and adds to the radiator. Warm air can easily come through and the radiator has diminished visibility – its almost invisible. Your design can include shelves, a book case and other storage as a stand alone unit or as part of something else. Additionally, explore practical features such as smart heating options or dual-fuel towel radiators for bathrooms, so you can dry towels through the summer without having to turn the heating on. Even old pallets can be weathered, bleached or painted to create covers for a rustic or country cottage look.

Perhaps you’re somebody who prefers to see as much of your wall space as possible and would therefore favour a discreet space saving option. Our low-level radiators may be smaller than their larger and taller counterparts, but that doesn’t mean that they compromise on heat output. With Radiator Outlet’s impressive BTU output guaranteed, you can be assured that you won’t be compromising on heat if you opt for a smaller radiator for your chosen space. Corners are always a little difficult to accommodate radiators. From wood to metal, there are lots of designs to choose from. Create a faux sideboard. Even without drawers, when it has the look and design style, it can still provide shelving for your family photos, books or lamp as an accent wall. Good airflow for radiators is always essential, this is even more important in smaller areas. In hallways and entries, radiator covers are often thinner; but they can still create a focal point and be useful as a hallway table for lamps, mirrors and accessories like photos, vases and flowers.

If you have a smaller window but still want to take advantage of a unified space, consider creating some storage around your radiator. Whether its open shelving like below or closed shelving by adding doors, this is a great use of space. This look is understated, and because the shelves are painted the same color as the walls, it allows other things to take center stage. The area under a radiator is traditionally somewhere that you can't place any furniture, so it will often make logical sense to fill this space with a radiator. Downstairs toilet – A dinky electric towel warmer works well in this situation because it fits neatly beside the toilet where you can conveniently hang and dry hand towels. Bathrooms – The bathroom is usually the smallest room in any house and therefore needs a radiator that’s as compact as possible. A short horizontal radiator is perfect for this purpose, especially when fitted under a window. Radiator Cover TIP 1: you need access to the radiator whether its the thermostat, the on/off button, maintenance etc. so make sure you take that into account when designing or buying your cover.No matter what size your room or window, a radiator cover can make a big difference to your room; balancing proportions and adding style and color. Efficiency is also a key factor, especially when it comes to keeping a handle on heating bills, so look for energy-efficient models that save both energy and money; these are often aluminium, low-water-content radiators. Putting a sofa in front of a radiator isn't recommended. The sofa will absorb a lot of the heat from the radiator and can prevent proper circulation of heat throughout the living room. As a result, if there's a sofa in front of your radiator, it will be less efficient and you'll need to turn up your heating to achieve a comfortable temperature. Full Length Curtains In many older properties, the pipework for radiators will be found under windows, as this is where the radiator had to be placed in the past. Even as insulation has improved, many people feel it's too difficult or costly to move the pipework around so simply keep their radiator in the same place. Despite this, with the help of a plumber, moving a radiator to another part of your room can be a stress free job. Where Should You Position Your Radiator?
