Column vs panel radiators
Column radiators continue to be a hugely popular choice among homeowners who like to add a bit of style and comfort to their living space. They are easy to operate, look great and provide a huge amount of warmth. But, are column radiators better than panel radiators? Like with all these questions, it boils down to what you need them for, and the space you are trying to heat.
Are column radiators better than panel radiators?
Column radiators are perfect for large and high-ceilinged spaces that need a lot of heat. Because they have a larger surface area than panel radiators, they give off more heat, regardless of whether they are positioned horizontally or vertically. However, because, as their name suggests, they are made up of individual columns, they are more difficult to clean than panel radiators, which can be wiped down quickly and easily.
Panel radiators also tend to come in more models and colours and because they can be slimmer, are often a better choice when space is at a premium, or if they are being fitted underneath windows.
That said, there are still plenty of size, colour and material options for column radiators, so you won’t be stuck for choice. It all boils down to whether you are more practical, or style driven.
