Looking to buy a new designer radiator to adorn your home? Then you’ve come to the right place!
Buying new designer radiators for your room can be a bit of a minefield. Especially if this is your first attempt.
We’ve created this essential guide, to help you find the perfect radiator that will deliver the heat output you need. And to complement your current décor style.
Read on to discover a few of our top tips when buying designer radiators online.
Designer Radiator Brands
Knowing where to buy radiators online can be tricky, so as soon as you start your search for your perfect designer radiator, make sure that you choose a website that offers the best radiator brands for you to choose from.
Not only will this give you access to the latest styles and most up to date radiator models (including towel radiators). But you'll also be able to make a purchase safe in the knowledge that you'll be receiving a superior quality product.
Some of the top designer radiator brands to look out for include; Aeon radiators, Reina radiators, DQ heating radiators, Arroll Radiators and Terma Radiators.
Each brand has their own specialities, so it's good to focus on a brand that is well known for making what you're looking for. An example is Paladin and Carron. These brands are well known for creating high quality cast iron radiators in various styles and sizes.
This Carron Chelsea pictured above, comes in a wide range of size and colour options. And because they are that sure of their quality, they offer a lifetime guarantee.
Low Prices
If prices for the designer radiator you’ve got your eye on seem too good to be true, they probably are. Many lower cost radiators are available to purchase online, but what you save on price, can come back to haunt you later on down the line as you discover that your new designer radiator isn’t heating up correctly, is prone to leaks or has cold spots.
Customer service is important too. So by purchasing lower quality designer radiators from a company that doesn’t invest in great service, can also lead to frustration should something go wrong. Make sure that you are able to call the company in question, and have any queries dealt with promptly via email before you part with any of your hard-earned cash.
Product Guarantees
Many of the designer radiators from DRD come complete with robust guarantee's. So before you buy radiators online, it is essential that you check that any designer radiator you are thinking of ordering online also comes with a good guarantee's.
We recommend that you choose a radiator that has at least a two-year guarantee as a bare minimum. As many of our designer radiators come complete with five, ten or even twenty-five-year guarantees. You should expect to receive something similar, or else run the risk of encountering problems in the future.
Our Lux Heat Venice is a great example of high quality and low prices. And for added comfort, it comes with a long 10 year warranty.
Delivery Timescales
Like many homeowners that are updating and improving their current central heating radiators, timing is critical. If you'll be getting a central heating engineer, or gas fitter to help you install your new designer radiators, it is vital that the company you choose to buy radiators from is able to deliver your products in time for them to be professionally fitted.
You’ll also want to know how they will be delivered before you buy radiators. And how well they will be packed before they leave the warehouse. If your new purchase isn’t properly and carefully packed, it’s not uncommon to discover scratches or damages. You also want to ensure that shipping is timely, so search online for reviews, – a late delivery could seriously throw your renovation timescales into disarray, and lead to more unnecessary expenses.
Some radiators like our popular Reina Dimaro are available with next day delivery, if ordered before 12pm. All of our radiators, including our next day radiators are well packed to reduce the risk of transit damaging.
Designer Radiators Direct uses a professional delivery team to transport our well packed designer radiators to customers. We also offer a free delivery service, so you can rest assured that not only will your radiators be delivered in great condition, but you won’t need to budget for extra delivery charges.
Don’t Forget Your Accessories!
When buying a radiator, make sure that you don’t forget to order any accessories you’ll need to install them at the same time. At DRD we stock a large selection of different radiator accessories. Some which are essential like radiator valves, to option add-ons like pipe sleeves.
Most brands don’t just sell radiators. They also stock a wide range of accessories to suit. Like towel rails to add functionality to selected radiators, or wall stays to give your cast iron radiator added safety and stability.
Accessories like valves are often one of the most overlooked items when buying a radiator online. Make sure that you order any radiator accessories, like valves or radiator feet you need, at the same time as your radiator. As this can means that you’ll be free to start installing your designer radiators straight away, without having to place another order.
