Large double radiators are among the most potent additions you can buy for your home’s central heating system. These units have the ability to pump out enormous quantities of heat when temperatures drop, keeping you comfortable when it is cold outside.
Furthermore, they offer energy efficiency benefits that are more challenging to find with smaller options. That’s why we’re so keen on them.
The Benefits of Large Double Radiators
High Heat Output
Double radiators are able to put out more heat because they have a larger surface area. Just like any designer radiator, their convective capacity relates to the amount of heat they can transfer to the surrounding air.
Energy Efficiency
Part and parcel of this is their inherent energy efficiency. Many of these units can lower energy bills by enabling more of the heated water in the system to transfer its energy into the room.
Aesthetics
Finally, many large double radiators look stunning—especially the models we offer at Radiator Village. From sleek, minimal designs to more classic aesthetics, there's something for every interior.
What Types of Large Double Radiators Are There?
As you explore these products, you’ll find that there’s quite a bit of variation. Not all double radiators are the same.
-
Cast Iron Radiators
These are among the oldest radiator designs and were popular during the Industrial Revolution and the latter part of the 19th century when central heating became more common. They work beautifully in homes that already feature single radiators or have period features. -
Aluminium Radiators
Aluminium is a modern, lightweight material often used in high-end vertical radiators and horizontal models. It heats up quickly and is energy-efficient—perfect for sleek interiors. -
Steel Radiators
A popular option for flat designer radiators and oval radiators, steel heats quickly and is extremely durable.
Whether you’re placing them in a hallway, bathroom, or living room, your radiator choice should complement your home’s character. Aluminium goes best in modern homes, while cast iron suits heritage or traditional settings.
