When it's time to invest in new radiators, you have plenty of great options to choose from, including a wide array of different makes, models and designs which appeal to your aesthetic sense as well as simply addressing the practicality of keeping rooms warm. Anthracite radiators are not only effective but can give each space a more sophisticated appearance, making them perfect for rooms which are undergoing a design refresh or renovation. They aren’t limited in design either, with the option of anthracite horizontal radiators, vertical radiators and even towel radiators to choose from.

If you've decided to switch to anthracite for your next radiator purchase, be sure to take a look at our guide below first to be sure you choose the best anthracite radiators.

What Do We Mean by 'Anthracite'?

Lux Heat Horizontal Anthracite Column Radiator

The Lux Heat Column radiator is a favourite due to its classic design & modern anthracite finish. It looks perfect in living rooms, kitchens & hallways. It's low in price & has a 10 year warranty.

The term anthracite refers to the dark grey hue which you might have seen on some of your favourite (not to mention trendiest) interior projects. It's increasingly used in show homes thanks to the contemporary feel which this colour represents, yet the colour is never intrusive or disruptive.

Not too long ago, anthracite radiators were the pricier option for buyers looking to update their property, but thanks to widespread popularity, this design feature can now be achieved on a far more affordable budget.

Why Do Designers Love Anthracite Radiators?

Designer radiators come in many different varieties, and this colour presents the perfect antidote to more garish or bland options which have for so long dominated the radiator market. Key to the success of anthracite is its sheer flexibility. The colour can be clean and pure or work in more industrial spaces, depending on the desired aesthetic of the designer and property owner.

When interior decorators are on the lookout for an instant way to upgrade the appearance of a heating system, choosing anthracite radiators provides an ideal all-in-one solution which brings any design project into the 21st century. At Designer Radiators Direct, we stock a wide range of the very best anthracite radiators – here are a few of the key options for you to consider.

Compared to more vibrantly painted radiators, an anthracite grey finish provides a calming appearance which works particularly well in rooms where relaxation is key, such as living rooms and bathrooms. It can also be used to help contrast with brightly coloured interiors, or to blend in with neutral tones. This is why anthracite radiators are so loved in the interior design community because they can work perfectly with almost all home or office aesthetics.

Lux Heat Anthracite grey Vertical Radiator

The Lux Heat flat vertical radiator has a range of size options to heat your interior. It's very affordable & includes a 10 year guarantee.

Panel Anthracite Radiators

Choosing a panel radiator is a fantastic way to get more heat and power into your property while opting for an anthracite finish will ensure that each room is as stylish as it is cosy. Double panel radiators are particularly well-suited to larger rooms which require increases in heating output during cold weather and can be adjusted to ensure they meet the needs of your space. But we also have single panel radiators which are thinner in design if you need to save on space but still provide brilliant heating.

Some of the most impressive examples of double panel radiators provide a streamlined look and feel which makes them adaptive enough to work in a wide variety of spaces including everything from your office to a living room or dining area.

Take a look at our full range of flat panel radiators if you're looking for a sleek modern design.

Column Anthracite Radiators

Another popular take on radiator style is encapsulated by column radiators, which have a traditional look and feel, which many may recall from public spaces and schools. But they are now also available in a more modern vertical column radiator design for contemporary interiors. When combined with anthracite colouration, this style of radiator is transformed into something both new and comfortingly familiar.

Anthracite Towel Radiators
