Helpful Radiator Tools: Build your designer radiator today!

The thought of having a coloured radiator in your home can be daunting, mainly because you never know how it’s going to look until it’s ordered and installed. However, many people are keen to ditch the traditional radiator look and move away from the standard white radiator. If this sounds like you, we’ve got a couple of helpful radiator tools that can help ease that anxiety and ensure you pick the bespoke radiator that’s right for you. So whether you're looking for a contemporary radiator to a more traditional radiator style we have high quality radiators that are right for you.  

Coloured Samples

The first is the coloured samples section of the website. Here, you can check out all the colours and finishes available and for £2 order a sample to your door. If you end up purchasing a new radiator, you can redeem this money back on your purchase – easy! This is a great tool for those commitment-phobes out there who want to test out all the options before ordering. Take them into different rooms, such as the living room, hold them up against different walls and varying lighting to ensure piece of mind in your choice.    

RadBuilder

The second great help is our RadBuilder tool, found in the online tools section of our website. You can play about creating a scene in your own house, to help you make a choice of which rad you’d like to invite home. You can pick different backgrounds and closest match one of ours, to one in your own home. We have a great variety to choose from. Then, you can choose the orientation of your radiator (you can pick between horizontal radiators and vertical radiators) before selecting colours and finishes. Maybe you didn’t think a bright colour was for you? Or you wanted to check between two similar shades? No problem. You can even pick what custom radiator valves you want with your radiators to create a completely personalised finish.

You can also call our sales team who will be happy to guide you through the buying process. If you’re still confused about how our RadBuilder tool works, we’ve included a tutorial below so that you’ll be an expert in no time. Give it a go – you might be surprised at how fun it is!
