The Top 5 High Output Vertical Radiators

Many people are living in increasingly small spaces where horizontal wall space is very limited and jostling for position with furniture. In the past, people simply had to accept that the back of the sofa was going to be heated up before the rest of the room, as it was placed in front of a horizontal radiator.

However, with the huge increase in the availability of vertical radiators, we can now make the most of upward wall space. This ensures that living spaces are comfortably heated no matter what the size of the room or where furniture is placed.

The trusty vertical radiator also allows us to install a heat emitter in narrow areas previously out of bounds to the traditional horizontal convector radiator. Narrow bits of wall space next to french windows, either side of large windows or in small bathrooms or ensuites are now very accessible and are, in fact, the perfect places to fit a vertical rad.  

A common misconception is that vertical radiators do not have such a high heat output as their horizontal counterparts. However, we would like to dispel that myth once and for all.

Just because a radiator is of a vertical orientation, this in no way affects the amount of heat it emits into your room. Indeed, a vertical radiator can often emit heat more efficiently straight out into a room, as it's not hidden behind large pieces of furniture that may absorb a lot of the heat.

We have a wide range of vertical radiators, including:

• Anthracite & Grey Vertical Radiators
• Black Vertical Radiators
• Vertical Slim Radiators
• High Heat Output Vertical Radiators

Below we have listed 5 of our favourite vertical radiators, which all have heat outputs more than capable of heating your room to a comfortable temperature.
