Modular home design and space limitations often mean that modern homes have narrow spaces in which traditional heating options won’t work. In order to deal with this issue, the best option is often ultra-slim vertical radiators that combine space-saving design with efficient heat output and contemporary style. If you’re looking to choose the ideal slim vertical radiator for your space, please read on.
Why go vertical and slim?
Wall-mounted solutions - for anything - are often designed to make the most of the horizontal space, but vertical radiators are considered a worthwhile option because they use more of the height of a wall. This limits the impact on space in narrow rooms, hallways and small kitchens.
Adding slimline design to the mix allows for even better use of space, with these radiators hugging the wall for a sleek, unobtrusive profile without any compromise on warmth. That’s a perfect solution for modern interiors, where minimalist style matters. Choosing to go vertical and slim means you can transform unused wall space into an efficient source of heat, so even tighter rooms are comfortable and welcoming.
Making a comparison
Getting the ultra slim vertical radiator you need involves a lot more than just measuring the height available. Some other factors to consider include:
-
Heat Output (BTU): You’re not necessarily looking for the highest number here. Effective heating without wasting energy is vital; use an online calculator to get an idea of the optimal BTU rating for your room size.
-
Dimensions: It cannot be overstated how important it is to get accurate measurement for wall height and width. Remember that you will need some clearance, especially in areas close to doors.
-
Pipe positions and valves: Along with the need to measure dimensions, it is absolutely vital to ensure that a new radiator fits with your existing pipework - or to plan for adjustments a plumber can make. Radiator Village can advise you on what will be necessary.
-
Design and finish: Modern slim radiators usually some in gloss white, anthracite, or even brushed metal finishes. You may decide whether you want a subtle look or a more statement piece in your finished decor.
-
Material: There are some priorities to consider here. Aluminium, for example, heats up quickly and is lightweight, whereas steel is more durable and has a more classic look.
