What are low level radiators?
Low level radiators are defined as radiators 300mm in height or less, making them an ideal choice for rooms with limited vertical space. Perfect for areas like bay windows, conservatories, and loft conversions, their compact design ensures they provide warmth without taking up excessive wall space. Despite their smaller stature, low level radiators deliver impressive heat output, ensuring your home stays cosy and efficient. These radiators also offer greater flexibility in room layout, allowing you to position furniture or artwork without being restricted by traditional radiator placement.
If you’re modernising a period property or optimising a contemporary space, at Trade Radiators you're sure to find low level radiators to heat a space that you may previously have thought was impossible.
How to choose a low level radiator
Selecting the right low level radiator involves more than just height. First, consider the heat output (measured in BTUs) required to warm your room efficiently. A larger space, like a conservatory or dining room, may need a wide, high-output radiator, while a smaller attic room might require a compact yet powerful unit. You can use our Heating Calculator to put in your room's dimensions to get an idea of what heat output your radiator should provide.
Next, think about your design preferences. Low level radiators come in a variety of finishes, including traditional white, sleek black, and raw metallic styles. There are also options for curved radiators that fit perfectly beneath bay windows.
Additionally, check the dimensions of your space carefully to ensure a perfect fit. Remember that Trade Radiators stocks radiators from top brands like DQ Heating, Trade Direct, and Reina, many of which are available with free delivery and quick dispatch.
The best low level radiator ideas
Low level radiators are versatile and can be adapted to fit various interiors. For a modern space, opt for a flat-panel design with a sleek finish, such as a glossy black or anthracite. These styles pair beautifully with contemporary furniture and clean lines. In a period property, consider a traditional column radiator in a low height, finished in raw metal or antique brass, to enhance the vintage aesthetic.
For bay windows, curved low level radiators are an excellent choice, designed to fit snugly within the curved space while maximising heat output. If you’re working with a conservatory or heavily glazed room, look for a low-level convector radiator to provide consistent warmth without obstructing views.
No matter the style or setting, Trade Radiators offers an array of options to suit your needs, helping you make the most of your available space while keeping your home warm and inviting.
