Made To Order 4 Column

A 4 column radiator has a deeper profile than 2 or 3 column models, giving it additional surface area. A 4 column model can offer a different heat output from a shallower column radiator of a similar size, depending on its dimensions and specification. The traditional column design can work well in period properties, while the choice of finish can also make it suitable for more contemporary interiors. If you're unsure which configuration suits your room, compare our made to order 2 column, 3 column, 5 column and 6 column radiators.

A Wide Choice of Sizes

The available sizes give you more flexibility when working around windows, alcoves and other features. Lower-height options may be suitable beneath windows, while taller radiators can make better use of available wall height where width is limited. Before ordering, check the radiator's height, width and depth on the individual product page. You should also consider your existing pipework and valve positions.

White or RAL Colour Finishes

These 4 column radiators are available in white or RAL colour finishes. White offers a simple option that works with many interiors, while a RAL finish gives you more flexibility when matching the radiator to your existing décor. If you're considering a coloured radiator, our radiator RAL colour guide can help you choose a suitable finish.

Choosing the Right Heat Output

The heat output varies according to the radiator's size and specification, so there isn't one BTU figure for the whole range. Start by working out approximately how much heat your room requires, then compare this with the BTU or Watt output shown on the relevant product page. A BTU calculator can also be useful as a starting point. Room size, insulation, windows and external walls can all affect the amount of heat needed.

Installing on a Stud or Plasterboard Wall

Wall construction is worth considering when choosing a column radiator. These radiators can be heavier than standard panel radiators, particularly when filled with water. If you're installing on a stud or plasterboard wall, ask your installer to check whether the wall and fixing method can safely support the radiator. Depending on the installation, additional support or suitable radiator feet may be required.
