3 Column Radiators

Column radiators are made of steel columns connected by horizontal tubes at the top and bottom. These columns circulate water to convect heat. The purpose of the multiple columns in a radiator is to increase the surface area available for heat transfer. The greater the surface area, the more efficiently the radiator can transfer heat to the surrounding air. 3 column radiators are especially popular as they have higher heat output than 2 column models while maintaining a delicate design.

The main advantages of a three column radiator are its excellent heat output and efficiency, and its classic, fashionable design. 3 column radiators are affordable and durable, thanks to the use of steel. There aren’t any downsides to these radiators, but if you are looking to heat a smaller space, a 2 column radiator might fulfil your needs.

All the models in our column radiators range will arrive with wall brackets, masonry fixings, a bleed valve and a blanking plug. You might like to add some column feet for large radiators – we have finishes to match all our rads.

The type of valves required (angled, corner, or straight) will depend on your pipework, so you’ll need to purchase these separately. This is a great opportunity to customise your radiator’s appearance to suit your personal taste. We have antique brass valves as well as modern black and classy white options.
