Low Profile
At just 275mm wide, this low-profile Arun model by Jis is perfect for adding interest to white walls in large living areas.

It measures 1460 x 275mm and is made from solid stainless steel that's quick to heat up and it also comes with optional towel rail, ideal for the kitchen or bathroom.

Cost From £580.

  1. Why can't a cast iron radiator be a designer radiator? Just because something is not 21st century looking doesn't make it non designer. I do agree though that the cast iron radiator listed here would look out of place in a modern home but just because it isn't modern looking doesn't mean it shouldn't be shown on these pages.

  2. I'm surprised they include cast-iron radiators in an article about designer radiators. Cast iron radiators have a wonderful solidity to them and can be the focal point in a period property, but I wouldn't dream of having them near a chic, modern property. The real benefit of modern designer radiators I've found is the vertical radiators - tall slim radiators which provide the same heat output, but don't take up so much of the room's "footprint".

  3. I agree, nowadays you can find everything form Victorian style radiators to contemporary designed ones, You don't have to hide it away, like people used to do, I believe that if you choose a well designed radiator it could raise your home value when selling your property

  4. After having a quick look through the pages here it has some good general information, but nothing specific or in detail. This isn't the site for that I guess but it would be nice if it was their.
