Buying a Column Radiator

Column radiators were once the only type of radiator you could get: If you remember back to your primary school days, or if you ever stayed in an old hospital, you would remember cast iron radiators with the vertical columns.


Over the last few decades, panel radiators have become the norm, due to their reduced size and higher efficiency, but there is now a swing back towards the nostalgia of times gone by. Column radiators are making a return, but with a twist!

A Column Radiator is now a fashion statement as much as a household fitting. Because the materials used to make the columns is no longer cast iron (in most cases), the overall size of the radiators is reduced to give the same output as the column radiators of old.

Column Radiators are sometimes known as Vertical Radiators or Horizontal Radiators, so if you’re not having much luck searching for column radiators, then try these search terms as well.
