Vertical Radiators

Shop vertical radiators in designer, column & electric styles - perfect for hallways, bathrooms and rooms with limited wall space.

Vertical radiators - also known as tall radiators or wall radiators - make the most of the height in a room when floor and wall space is limited. Running upwards rather than along the wall, they deliver a powerful heat output from a slimmer footprint, which makes them a favourite for hallways, kitchens and narrow walls between windows and doors.

Our vertical radiator range covers designer, column and electric models, in single and double-panel depths and finishes from anthracite and black to white, chrome and a selection of exciting colourways - so you can match both the heat output your room needs and the look you're after.

The space-saving advantage

Because they use height instead of width, vertical radiators take up far less horizontal wall space than a conventional radiator of the same output - freeing up walls for furniture, kitchen units, artwork or doorways. That's why tall radiators have become a default choice in modern, space-conscious homes.

Types of vertical radiator

Designer vertical radiators prioritise looks alongside output, in flat-panel and sculptural forms. Vertical column radiators bring the traditional column look in an upright format. Electric vertical radiators run independently of central heating, ideal where there's no practical pipework. Each is sized the same way - by matching BTU output to the room.

How to choose a vertical radiator

Three decisions get you to the right model - type, panel depth and finish.

• By type - designer for a modern statement, column for a traditional look, electric where there's no practical pipework.
• By panel depth - single-panel for slimmer profiles and lower heat needs; double-panel for higher output from the same width.
• By finish - anthracite, black, white and chrome to match the room, or select from a range of coloured vertical radiators for a truly unique look.

How to choose a vertical radiator for a small space

Measure the wall width and height you have, then choose a model that fits with clearance for the valves and any walkways. Where width is tight, a double-panel vertical lets you reach a higher heat output from a narrow unit. Check the projection from the wall in hallways and other tight spots before you buy.

Heat requirements: getting the output right

A tall, slim radiator still has to meet your room's heat requirement, so don't choose on looks alone. Use our BTU calculator to find the output you need, then check it against the radiator's figure. Double-panel models give higher output where a single panel won't keep up.

Frequently asked vertical radiator questions

Are tall vertical radiators efficient?

Performance comes down to matching the output to your room and controlling it well, like any radiator. Choose a model whose BTU output meets your room's requirement and fit a thermostatic valve for the best control.

How much wall space does a vertical radiator save?

Because they run upwards, they take up far less horizontal wall space than a conventional radiator of the same output - freeing up the wall around them for furniture, units or doorways.

Can I get electric vertical radiators?

Yes - we stock electric and dual-fuel vertical radiators that give the same space-saving design without connecting to a central heating system.

What's the difference between a vertical and a designer radiator?

They overlap - "vertical" describes the orientation, "designer" the emphasis on appearance. Many radiators are both; our vertical range includes designer, column and electric models.

How long is the guarantee and what does it cover?

Our guarantees are free and vary by product - from 10 years on some standard models and up to 20 years on a selection of other ranges. The guarantee covers faults caused by the materials or manufacturing of the product, starting from the date of delivery. It doesn't cover wear and tear, accidental or deliberate damage, or the cost of removing and refitting the product. Full terms are on our BestHeating Guarantee page.
