Maximise your home's thermal efficiency without sacrificing valuable wall space with our range of double panel vertical radiators. Designed for high-performance heating in larger rooms, these "upright" units feature two layers of panelling to effectively double the surface area for heat emissivity. At Trade Radiators, we provide the UK's most extensive selection of high-output vertical radiators, perfect for open-plan kitchens, lounges with bifold doors, and high-ceilinged hallways.
Our collection features industry-leading brands such as Trade Direct, Nordic, and Towelrads. Whether you require a sleek flat-panel design or a traditional column look, our double-panel vertical radiators provide the "K2" power you need in a space-saving silhouette.
High BTU Performance for Open-Plan Living
The primary advantage of a double panel vertical radiator is its incredible heat density. In rooms with multiple windows or high heat loss, a single-panel unit may struggle to maintain comfort. Our double-panel models offer an upper BTU range of 8,000 to 9,500, with wattages reaching up to 2,900W. This allow you to comfortably heat exceptionally large spaces by installing a single vertical unit rather than multiple horizontal ones. To find the exact power requirement for your room, use our free BTU heating calculator.
Understanding Projection and Clearance
Because they feature two layers of heating panels, double vertical radiators have a deeper profile than standard models. When planning your installation, it is important to consider the "projection"—the distance the radiator sits from the wall. Our range features a robust 1.2mm mild steel chassis, typically requiring a 166mm clearance from the wall to the front of the radiator. This depth is essential for creating the convection currents needed to circulate warmth in large areas. For technical advice on mounting, contact our experts today.
