Column Radiators

COLUMN RADIATOR FAQs

WHAT IS A COLUMN RADIATOR?

A column radiator is a radiator constructed from individual sections with varying depths. The wider the radiator, the more columns it has. Column radiators are constructed from steel or Cast Iron and have a traditional feel.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLUMN RADIATOR FOR ME?

We would always recommend starting with the BTU you need for your chosen room. By adding in a few details to our BTU Calculator, we can calculate just how much heat your room will need. Then it’s the fun part, shopping! Browse through our huge selection and pick out the styles you like the most, then find the size that works best for your space and the heat you need. If you want a super traditional and ornate column radiator, our Cast Iron selection is the best place to look. If you need a bespoke size or colour, our column radiators selection is the right place for you.

CAN I BUY A COLOURED COLUMN RADIATOR?

Definitely! The majority of our column radiators can be painted in the colour or special finish of your choice, depending on the supplier. Cast Iron radiators from Paladin are also available in several luxurious hand finished effects, for extra charm and style. Not sure what colour or finish you want?

WHAT WILL MY COLUMN RADIATOR COME WITH?

Your column radiator will arrive with all brackets and fixings needed for it to be wall-hung. Radiator feet and wall stays are typically sold separately, should you need them. Your new column radiator will not arrive with valves, as we feel every last detail should be chosen by you. We have a huge selection of valves available to purchase. Not sure what valves you need? Check out our handy Valve Guide here.

DO COLUMN RADIATORS PROVIDE GOOD HEAT?

Column Radiators have a fantastic heat output. This is because they are constructed from hollow individual sections that the hot water in your central heating system will travel through. This increased surface area means more heat for you! Column radiators are the most customisable too, so if you have a small space for your radiator, increasing the column number is a great way to maximise the heat.

WHAT ARE RADIATOR FEET?

Radiator feet are slip-on supportive feet that slide under your radiator and rest on your floor. Using these is a great way to support the weight of your column radiator and take the strain off your wall. If you want a large column radiator but want to mount it on a stud wall, we recommend using slip-on feet to take the weight off the wall. Cast Iron radiators are extremely heavy and most models have feet incorporated into the design, which is handy and stylish.
