Tall, upright radiators have become an increasingly popular choice for modern homes due to their sleek design and numerous benefits, but how do you choose between these and a more traditional horizontal design? Here at Stelrad, we have many variations of the classic single panel radiator design if you want something a bit different, as well as many colourful finishes to match your décor. Our designer UK vertical radiators will give you plenty to consider too – the only restriction in your choice will be the requirements for the rooms you want to install them in, but we are here to help make your choice much simpler.
One of the key advantages of wall radiators is that they take up less wall space compared to options like horizontal line radiators, making them an ideal option for rooms with a limited floor area. Additionally, designer vertical radiators can help to create a sense of height in a room, making the space feel much more open, spacious and airy, which can be important if you want the room to feel roomier than it is.
Radiators with vertical designs such as vertical column radiators also allow for greater flexibility when it comes to furniture placement, as they can be installed in narrow spaces and corners. If the space is compact, you’ll want to make use of the wall going up rather than across where possible. Modern vertical radiators can also offer improved heat distribution, as hot air rises and circulates more effectively in a vertical orientation. This means that they can be more efficient at heating a room than their horizontal counterparts.
Both horizontal and vertical radiators are available in a range of stylish designs and finishes, making them a great choice for homeowners who want to add a touch of elegance and modernity to their interiors. Sometimes, it just comes down to personal preference, so if you are looking for something more traditional you may prefer column radiators with plenty of character instead. However, if you have an open mind for something different and want to make the most of vertical space, our tall radiators will catch the eye whilst also providing a warm room whenever you need it.
