3 Column Radiators - Page 9

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.
