Deliver serious warmth and timeless character with our collection of four column radiators.

Whether you're restoring a period home or adding a traditional twist to a modern space, four column radiators offer unbeatable style and performance.

What is a four column radiator?

Four column radiators are made up of four vertical columns across their depth, giving them greater water volume and superior surface area than single, double, or triple column models. This allows them to deliver impressive BTU outputs and stay warmer for longer - perfect for open-plan living areas, draughty hallways, or large bedrooms and lounges.

• Classic multi-column profile with four deep sections
• Excellent heat retention and high BTU output
• Available in vertical and horizontal designs
• Choose from a wide range of sizes, finishes and styles
• Perfect for traditional or transitional interiors

Powerful heating with traditional charm

Our four column radiators are inspired by vintage cast iron styles, but built using modern materials for better efficiency and reliability. Whether you prefer classic white, bold black, or trendy anthracite, there’s a finish to suit your space. We also offer a range of coloured column radiators for something a little bolder.

Horizontal and vertical options

Frequently asked questions - Four Column Radiators

What makes four column radiators different?

Four column radiators have a deeper profile with more internal columns, meaning they hold more water and emit more heat. They’re designed for maximum heat output and work best in large or draughty spaces.

Are four column radiators energy efficient?

Yes - while they use more water than slimmer models, four column radiators are highly effective at retaining and distributing heat. When properly sized, they help reduce strain on your heating system and improve energy efficiency.

Do four column radiators suit modern homes?

Absolutely. While inspired by traditional cast iron styles, many of our four column radiators come in modern finishes like anthracite, matte black and a selection of vibrant and metallic colourways - ideal for transitional or contemporary interiors.

Can I install a four column radiator vertically?

Yes - we offer some vertical four column radiators for rooms with limited horizontal wall space. These provide the same powerful heat output in a compact, space-saving format.

Which valves do I need for a four column radiator?

You’ll need radiator valves that match your pipe layout – either angled, straight, or corner valves. We stock a wide selection in matching finishes to complete your setup.
