Dilemma: paint your old radiator or replace it?

If you’re a bit fed up with the look of your current radiators, you have two options: you can replace them with new radiators, or you can give them a makeover. But what is the best option for you? We’ll help you through the dilemma.

Painting your radiators: a big job

If you dislike the colour of your radiators, painting them could be a good option. Be aware that it is a time-consuming task, though. For the best result, you must not just paint your radiators, but also clean, sand, strip the original paint and then repaint them. NB: always use heatproof radiator paint as ordinary paint may bubble or blister as a result of the heat.

Go for a stylish alternative

There are many reasons to replace your old radiators with modern versions. You may be fed up with the colour of your old radiators, but the design may be a bit dated too. Nowadays, a radiator doesn't have to be an intrusive object in your interior, it can be an asset. With the sleek Oni or the elegant Niva you can easily add a stylish element to your interior. For a subtle designer radiator, choose the colour of the walls or create a real eye-catcher with an original tint?

Choose sustainable

Finally, sustainability is also an important factor in your choice. Old radiators often use more energy and you’ll notice this on your bills. By choosing new radiators, you're not only treating yourself, you’re also helping the environment. And why not use a smart thermostat too, that considers weather forecasts or low temperature heating and you’ll definitely be on the right path!
