The top 5 space-saving vertical radiators of the year (2018)

The BestHeating vertical radiators of the year

Well, what an incredible year 2018 was (more-or-less)!

From the World Cup and the Royal Wedding to the ongoing Brexit debacle and drones ruining Christmas, it really has been a particularly busy year – and it’s been no different here at BestHeating.com.

Although we’ve kept a keen eye on the comings and goings of the world, our main focus has been to continue to provide the latest in space-saving designer home heating to help you keep warm and cosy, in style.

So, because everyone else is doing a ‘Best Of 2018’ list of things, I thought I would do one to show you the best-selling radiators from the last 12 months – here are the top-rated tall vertical radiators from 2018 – as bought by BestHeating’s valued customers.

Tall, slim-line and finished in a trendy, statement-making anthracite grey finish, this model boasts great looks, good heat output and a sleek and space-saving design – so it’s no wonder it made the top of the list, really!

Love it, great heat output, great contemporary look in my dining kitchen and Orangerie extension. So nice ordered another for the hallway as they save a lot of useful wall space. – George – 5 Stars

These look great in my new extension, I have them either side of French doors and I always get comments on them. They also give out great heat in a large open plan room. I researched and they are also a great price. – Nadia – 5 Stars
