Classic design
Column radiators give any space an air of sophistication and class. The timeless design of column radiators is perfect for complementing virtually any design style.

Durable quality you can trust

What are the best column radiators?
With so many to choose from, it can be difficult to settle on just one column radiator. Not to toot our own horn, but our team at UK Radiators know a thing or two about radiators. And the best column radiators are the ones that fulfil your exact requirements and tastes. That’s why we stock such an extensive range of them. Depending on your heating needs, the right fit for you will lie in choosing the right category of column radiators. So we’ve rounded up the best of the best in column radiators depending on their type.
Traditional column radiators
The traditional column radiator, as covered above, provides timeless style and exceptional heating for any space. Styles such as the
Alpha White Column Radiator beautifully complement any home decor style whilst providing impressive heat outputs to keep your home feeling as warm as it looks.
Vertical column radiators
Whilst traditional column radiators can be quite sizeable, you can still find the perfect column radiator if you have limited wall space.
Vertical column radiators are perfect for fitting in slim wall spaces that you wouldn’t usually get to use. So even if your room is dominated by other furnishings, a vertical column radiator like the
Alpha column radiator subtly makes the most of your wall space without overcrowding your room.
Designer column radiators
If you want the heat-boosting benefits of a column radiator without the old-school look, then a designer column radiator is exactly what you need. Providing the unparalleled performance of a column radiator packaged in a much more sleek, updated design, designer column radiators do it all. A model such as the
Sherwood Round Top Column Radiator provides the modern finish you’re looking for in a column radiator - now that’s what we call the best of both worlds.
Horizontal column radiators
Similar to the benefits of vertical radiators,
horizontal column radiators help you to really make the most of your wall space. Models such as the
Alpha Horizontal Column Radiator can fit neatly underneath window sills and tables, plus boast the extra benefit of not having to redo your piping when replacing your old radiator.
What you need to know about column radiators
Whether the column radiator has won you over already, or you still need some extra information, you can find some miscellaneous details about column radiator maintenance here. Below are a few often asked questions about the upkeep of column radiators. To make the right decision about your radiator, you need to be as informed as possible, including what happens beyond your initial purchase.
How to clean column radiators
Let’s face it, radiators often get forgotten once installed in your home. But just because they’re not interacted with as much as other home fittings such as worktops and tables, doesn’t mean they don’t need a clean every now and then too. Column radiators can be slightly more tricky to clean than their panel counterparts due to the unique column shape of them. However, this isn’t to say you can’t still maintain them with relative ease.
How to paint behind column radiators
Painting behind wall fittings such as shelves and radiators can be a tricky job. More often than not, taking the time and effort to turn off, cool and remove column radiators from the wall simply to paint behind them is more hassle than it’s worth. Whilst that is the safest way to paint behind column radiators, we understand how long-winded this option can be. Your other option is to very carefully paint behind your radiator using a specially designed paintbrush that has a long handle and thin bristles that won’t get paint on your radiator, or even
make your own. So now you have all the information you need, the only thing left to do is
have a look for your perfect column radiator. Happy shopping! If you need any advice or assistance, don’t hesitate to
