Cool radiators!

As we enter October we start to think about turning the heating on! Radiators are an efficient method of heating a space and as such are a feature of many interiors, yet despite the amount of resources we plough into our designs the conventional steel panel radiators are often the primary source of heating.

The key to radiator efficiency is surface area which makes the panel radiator, with its large hot surface, a well performing and functional piece of equipment however they often have a bulky appearance and are difficult to conceal.

Underfloor heating can be an ideal way to free up your wall space and maximise the flexibility of the room however this can be a costly and disruptive solution.

Fortunately there have been some significant advances in radiator design of late and we have put together some of the more stylish and quirky radiators on the market which combine efficiency with good design to demonstrate how cool radiators can be!

Rad Art is a new innovation in radiator design which takes the advantages of a conventional radiator and combines it with stunning art which will add colour, visual interest and warmth to any interior. The front panels are interchangeable with a variety of designs available.

The “Calorisfero” wooden radiator uses wood woven around the steel elements to give an alternative natural finish. The wood can be stained or coloured to complement your interior.

These sleek radiators combining shelving, complete with lighting, with a fully functioning heating device would make a Marea a welcome addition in most interiors.

Practical and stylish - this convenient bench is hot!

With so many fabulous options available let Transformations Interior Designs help you choose the right solution to not only heat your interior but also enhance it!
