When Space Is At A Premium

As space is often short in newer homes it is sometimes a headache of where to fit a radiator.  There are now models available called low level radiators that fit neatly under a large window close to the ground.  You may have seen them on images or in the shop windows of your local retailers.  They are long and perhaps a foot high and you could even install them in an otherwise useless space such as under a sink in the bathroom.

If you are adventurous of spirit you can obtain, apart from the conventionally shaped radiators, also futuristic models or one that look like a piece of art.  If you have a look on the web you will see that there are tubular varieties that are fashioned in the form of a spiral fin or you can get skirting board varieties.

Other examples are the one that look like benches or ottomans.  These are very minimalistic and they will suit a modern interior very well.  Just imagine buying a bench radiator you will get something to sit on which, at the same time, keeps your seat warm and the room too.
 
This model is very suited to a conservatory or a bathroom.  Sometimes extra seating is required in the conservatory and in the bathroom you will have somewhere warm to sit after a shower or a bath.

It seems that chrome varieties and ones manufactured in stainless steel are, at the moment, very popular with homeowners.  However, if you should choose the chrome varieties you should ensure that they are kept dry to prevent rust from forming.  If you want one of these shiny examples to be fitted in your bathroom, therefore, it is better to choose a stainless steel model which does generally not have that rust problem.

If your home does not have a gas supply you can still get electric varieties that are just as stylish.  These are easier to fit as they only need a socket.  These kinds of heaters all have a thermostat attached to them.
