Article by M. Johnson, January 19th 2009

If you seek the best in every aspect of your life, you will already appreciate the benefits of good design. You already understand the contribution that designers can make to every single item in our homes, whether practical or merely decorative. As a result, you might like to learn that even in an area as mundane as home-heating, Designer Radiators are available that elevate merely warming your home to beautifying it. The best examples are by companies who focus on style and quality. Bear some of the following names in mind; MHS, Inspirational Heating, Bisque, Aeon and Biasi. By shopping for some of these big names, you are guaranteed never to find yourself saying, “These are all so similar”. The designer radiators provided by these companies are impressively distinctive, even within the same product line.

The best place to admire them all at once is the Radiator Factor at www.radiatorfactory.net . For an award-winning example, see the “Hot Spring” model by Bisque, a wall-hung, vertical, coiled spring, available in a variety of sizes and finishes, including nickel. There is even a mini version that is slimmer and leaves no room for excuses about size. For something completely different, take a look at Aeon’s ‘Cofer’. Not only is it effortlessly stylish, but it is so well designed that it can be mounted vertically or horizontally, with or without an optional towel bar. Aeon also designed one of the most unique of all designer radiators, the ‘Ecstasy’. You have to see it to believe it is even a heater. For children’s bedrooms there are models which can be ordered with luminescent glow-in-the-dark globes incorporated into them, e.g. the ‘Abacus’. The creativity with which industrial design has been utilised is impressive, case in point, the ‘Hose’ by MHS which perfectly resembles a coiled, metallic hose suspended from a hook on a wall.

Finding radiators that appeal to your taste is not the end of the fun, however. Many offer options such as swing arm towel racks or hooks which can be placed at various points. Finishes are numerous and your biggest problem may be deciding between a stunning copper finish or exactly matching the shade of your walls and painting it. Models from the Radiator Factory can arrive in one of many custom colours or with a coat of primer. After choosing the perfect designer radiators for your home, take a second to think about the valves. Clearly, you are someone for whom style is paramount. It is in the details that your commitment to good taste is best expressed. You don’t settle for standard fixtures in the kitchen sink, so why would you do so here? There are many thoughtfully considered valves that can be used to perfectly off-set the model of your choice. Even ten minutes spent online looking at these exquisitely designed radiators will open your mind about just what you can achieve with the space you call home.
