Take a look at the current range and see if the radiator you need is waiting here for you.
Do K1 radiators heat a room easily?
This type of radiator is one of the most common in the UK. If you’re a bit unsure what exactly one is, a K1 radiator will have a single front panel with a row of conductive fins stuck on the back. It’s common for these radiators to have a top cover that gives the appearance of two panels.
They often get referred to as Type 11 radiators.
Do I need anything special for a K1 radiator?
You shouldn’t if your radiator set-up doesn’t need any work. With the majority of radiators in this range finished with a plain white emulsion, you can keep things simple when buying new valves.
You can purchase white traditional and thermostatic adjustable valves in our radiators valves section.
Can I get a K1 radiator for my bedroom or living room?
These radiators lend themselves fantastically to compact living rooms and bedrooms. The single panel helps keep width and wall projection to a minimum so you can place one under a window with minimal interference.
If you are thinking of getting a radiator this style for your bedroom, we recommend going with Kartell’s K-Rad range. They’re fantastic if you want a no-fuss radiator in a space you’ll only spend limited time in.
Can I get a K1 radiator for my kitchen?
The kitchen is usually the one room at home you want to put more effort into decorating as it’s where the family will spend most of the day. You’ll notice many of the models on this page have the “dimple” effect from pressed steel.
If you want a contemporary design from a panel convector radiator, look at some of the Trade Direct radiators in stock that have a front flat panel. They also look great installed in downstairs toilets.
