Designer radiators are designed to be an aesthetically improved version of the traditional radiator. Designer radiators still use the latest technology and also incorporate a beautiful design.

Here are the main advantages and reasons why people purchase designer radiators:

• Aesthetic Value
Unlike many radiators, these radiators have a great aesthetic design. These radiators do not want to be hidden in some corner of your house. You can proudly flaunt them as a designer accessory and make them into a real feature within your home.

• Efficiency
Since these radiators are made of materials like stainless steel, which is a good conductor of electricity, they still allow excellent energy efficiency. Their heat output is as good as and sometimes better than other traditional radiators.

• More options to choose from
Designer radiators come in innumerable shapes and sizes and you do not need to worry about where to fit the radiator. You can get them in many different sizes. You can have long and tall radiators or there are also wide and low radiators. There are even some very strangely shaped, designer radiators to make a real contemporary feature in any room. There are so many options to choose from, making designer radiators more customer friendly than other radiators if you are searching for something different.

A column radiator is a traditional cast iron radiator, which is made of vertical tubes in each section. They are basically tubular steel radiators.

Many people like to buy the column radiators because they have a very traditional look. Some of the advantageous features of column radiators are:

• Better performance
The heating ability of column radiators has often been found to be better than that of other heaters. They deliver a much better performance.

• Lighter
Column radiators are a lot lighter than other type of radiators, especially cast iron radiators. As a consequence, they are easier to transport and manoeuvre into position.

• Cost
These radiators are constructed in such a manner that there is only the minimal wastage of raw material and hence they are cost-effective and cheaper than cast iron radiators.

• Attractiveness
Column radiators can look very attractive as they can be painted in any colour of your choice. Some other radiators cannot be easily coloured as they are only supplied in primer coats. Column radiators can be made to suit any interior design or theme.

• Customisation
Most vendors allow their customer to determine the number of columns in the radiators. These columns determine the radiators heating ability as well as the size.

Central heating radiators have been around for a long time. These radiators have evolved with time and today they come fitted with the latest technology and fashioned with the latest design.

Central heating radiators help maintain uniform heating throughout the house and they are also most suitable in cases where an old radiator needs to be replaced as they can be bought to fit almost any existing area.

Some advantages of a central heating radiator are:

• Utility
Their high utility value is their biggest USP. They can be used for a complete new installation as well as a replacement installation of old or defective radiators. They can easily be incorporated into existing heating systems.

• Efficiency
Central heating radiators have greater heat output than other conventional radiators of the same size and output. This makes them affordable and economic to run.

• Easy and Cost-effective maintenance
Central heating radiators can be cleaned very easily with just a quick wipe from a damp cloth. Compare this with some designer radiators where it is difficult to clean between the columns and this makes it very low maintenance in terms of cleaning.

Cast Iron radiators are traditional radiators, which are warmed by a heat source, and after sufficient heating they radiate heat into the entire room. There are many factors, which have allowed the cast iron radiator to reign for decades.

Many people choose cast iron radiators for their traditional look, but they also have some other advantages than simply their design. Some advantages of cast iron radiators are as follows:

• Lasting effect
Cast Iron radiators are most well known for their lasting heat effect. The heat generated by cast iron radiators lingers on for a long time after the radiator has been switched off.

• Superlative Heat Output
Since these radiators carry a lot more mass, their heat output is also comparatively higher. Their mass makes them much more efficient than the stainless steel radiator. They have an excellent heat output.

• Multiple Sizes
Cast Iron radiators come in multiple sizes. You can fit them in the smallest corner of your house or you can even fit them in the most unusual place. There is much variety in terms of size.

• Multiple sections
Another advantage of cast iron radiators is that you can have multiple sections in them hence you can determine the level of heating. They can be customised to a certain degree.
