Hot And Cold And Silky Smooth

No it’s not some simmering hot Hollywood talent it’s the radiator in my bathroom. If you don’t believe a radiator can be described as such then go to the online store at Designer Radiators Direct and prepare to be surprised.

If you still have those old off-white panel radiators and had no idea there are now alternative shapes and different metal finishes then you probably had no idea there are radiators and then there are designer radiators.

In the late nineteen sixties and early seventies many hundreds of thousands of homes were fitted with gas central heating systems for the very first time. This was because easy credit made it possible for the lowest of earners.

It also allowed people to have fitted carpets and double glazing for the first time because of the easy repayments.

Almost without exception every system was installed with flat panel radiators finished in white or cream colour. Nobody ever thought to ask if there were alternatives and the chances are there were none.

Perhaps there was just one manufacturer with a monopoly on the whole radiator production business but today there are countless different manufacturers and as they all compete for your business the news for us is good.

We can select the make and model of radiators UK and we do not even have to fit the same one in every room of the house.

There are full length mirror ones that look great in the bedroom mounted near the wardrobe and bench models ideal perhaps for the bathroom.

With many finishes from shiny chrome, aluminium or stainless steel and a huge assortment of different designs and shapes, these radiators have come a very long way from the boring old sixties. 

If you have an old boiler, pipes and radiators it might well be worth your while not just for aesthetic appeal but also for sound economic reasons, to take time to look at what is on offer.

The fact is that the newer the boiler and thermostatic controls the less fuel is consumed.
