Unfortunately for us, radiator shopping isn’t something people get particularly excited over. While shopping for a new sofa, TV or bed can bring about that level of happiness that can only come from having shiny new things, radiators have an unfair reputation for being, well, a bit boring.
But we’re on a mission to take that view and, well, bin it. Radiators are far from boring and, while we may be a little biased, radiator shopping is absolutely something to get excited about. Why? Because we’ve got a whole range of radiators that are weird, wonderful and wacky. Forget the standard white models that have decked homes across the country for the past 25 years. In fact, forget everything you know about radiators at all. We’re here for the weird, and we’re here for the wacky - and we think you should be too.
Let’s check out our top 5 weird and wonderful radiators that’ll help bring something a little (or a lot) more eye catching to the room, while impressing your visitors and heating your home at the same time.
