Quirky radiators for difficult spaces
20 May 2024
Struggling to fit conventional radiators into your unique spaces?
Designer radiators can help you find a heating solution in awkward spaces
Designer radiators come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, which can make locating those all-important heating systems far easier - as well as being easier on the eye!
When installing a heating system into an existing building, or even designing a new-build, the essential elements might be difficult to integrate. Any of our designer collections can be made extra wide to suit your exact dimensions and heating needs. The location of a central heating boiler may be governed by a number of factors – technical, logistical or safety requirements – but there is usually more freedom of choice when it comes to the positioning of radiators, thermostats and other controls.
Some designer radiators even give a number of options as to how they can be mounted, so you’re not restricted by their physical size and dimensions. The unique, sometimes quirky, designs of some radiators may even give you some fresh ideas about where to site your heating system components. Many of the designs are aesthetically-pleasing, so you don’t need to hide them away.
Tall slim radiators for rooms short on wall space
Often a corner or load bearing wall between a new extension and the older part of a house is the only practical place to locate a radiator. Luckily Agadon Designer Radiators have relatively high output vertical radiators which deliver on both efficiency and style. People often mistakenly think vertical radiators cannot output as much heat as a horizontal radiator. This is simply not true and what's more, vertical radiators often emit heat more efficiently as they are not usually blocked by furniture.
Extra wide radiators for rooms with unusual wall space
Standard widths for radiators depend upon whether you are looking for a tall (vertical) or wide (horizontal) radiator. However, with Agadon, which ever style you choose - tall or wide - you can have a factory built radiator specific to the width you need. Obviously the extra width depends upon the radiator style, i.e. if a column radiator, additional columns need to be added. However, with a flat panel radiator, the width can be more flexible.
Feature mirror radiators
A mirror radiator is practical, functional and creates a stunning entrance hall feature. Mostly used in bathrooms because the radiator heat keeps the mirror from steaming up, designer radiators with a mirror feature are often overlooked. However, the practicality of a mirror in almost any room is a useful feature. Mirrors reflect light so are an excellent choice in darker spaces and with a huge choice of colours, designer styles and finishes, a mirror radiator could be the practical focal point you are looking for.
