With so many sites online selling designer radiators and electric radiators and all offering what seems like a good deal, how can you be sure that you're spending your hard-earned cash on the right product and picking something that will keep your home warm and cosy while looking great for years to come? In this guide, we’ll be uncovering the best radiator brand and the questions you need to ask yourself before choosing the best product to suit your needs.

 

Where Are You Placing the New Radiator?


To start narrowing the search, you'll need to know where your new rad is going to located. By viewing our wide range of bathroom radiators, kitchen radiators, living room radiators and towel radiators ideal for bathrooms and downstairs WC’s, you’ll begin to get an idea of the styles and types of radiators that suit your home décor style and available space.



 

Once you’ve got a style in mind, it makes it so much easier to start to narrow down your search for the best brand to heat your home.

 

Space and Central Heating Access


If space is an issue, but you still want to maintain a warm and comfortable temperature, you might want to consider underfloor heating instead as this provides excellent heating capabilities while keeping your walls free of units that take up space.

In rooms where you need additional heating, but you don’t want to touch the current central heating pipes or have to pull up floorboards and get a plumber involved in fitting your new radiator, then an electric heating unit can offer a simple solution and still give you the style and heating output you’ve been seeking.

Vertical radiators are also another great way of saving space, and thanks to their sleek and modern design, they also offer an eye-catching focal point too.

These are just a few more elements that you’ll need to consider when seeking out the best radiator for your needs, so don’t forget to take all of these items into account.

 

Guarantees


By now, you’ve probably got a good idea of the type, size and style of the radiator you want, so its time to consider the guarantees offered by each product.

Some cheaper designs are constructed using inferior quality materials that won't have the long lifespan and heating capabilities that you're looking for, so beware of units, brands or retailers that don't have a robust guarantee. These are often accompanied by too good to be true pricing. You'll find that these items will let you down and you'll have no guarantee to rely on should there be any issues later on down the line.

Designer Radiator Direct only stocks leading radiator brands that combine great design with excellent quality and reliability, and many of the product lines we stock come complete with a guarantee of up to 20 years, so you know that you're getting the best quality for your money.

Guarantees of a year or two don’t offer the protection you need should something go wrong, so make sure that whatever style or size of radiator you choose, you go for the product that offers the longest guarantee available.

 

Delivery


Many of the designs we stock are very popular lines. As we know they are in demand consistently, we usually have a good stock available in our warehouse ready to be shipped out as soon as an order is placed via phone or on our website.

Some of our more customisable radiators (the ones available in an array of colours or finishes) are made to order by the high-quality manufacturers that we choose to work with; therefore some of the delivery timescales can be a little longer as each individual radiator is fully customised to suit your required specifications.

Once your new radiator is ready for dispatch, the manufacturer will pack your new purchase to safeguard the item against any bumps or knocks during transit and arrange for it to be delivered to your home ready for it to adorn your walls and keep your rooms cost and warm.

Should there be any issues with the delivery service or product once it arrives, the team at Designer Radiators Direct are just a phone call away and able to assist you with any queries you might have as 100% customer satisfaction and happiness is our goal.

Check on the delivery timescale for your project before you make a final decision as this might help you decide between items on your shortlist.
