What size room will it heat?

It depends on the model — the range on this page runs from a cloakroom, en-suite or small box room at 1,126 BTU/hr up to a bedroom, home office or small kitchen at 1,979 BTU/hr. A well-insulated modern room needs far less than an older one with single glazing and an outside wall, so use our BTU calculator with your room’s measurements before you choose.

What colours and finishes are available?

In this group we have 3 in white. Colour is chosen as a finish option on the product page.

What else do I need to fit it?

A pair of radiator valves (a thermostatic set is the usual choice) — see our valves and accessories. Wall brackets are supplied with every radiator, and column radiators in this group can be fitted with feet where the wall will not take the full weight. Delivery to mainland England and Wales is free.
