Can radiators be painted over? An often-asked question which deserves a word of explanation. The answer is not quite that straightforward though. Yes, you can paint over your radiators, but it is not the kind of job you want to launch into on a whim. Often, a better alternative is on hand. This article has full details.
Old radiators often tend to lose their original gloss. Once you get to the stage where little is left of that time-honoured white, it is time for a make-over. Otherwise the radiator starts sticking out like a sore thumb and, instead of acting like an eye-catcher, ends up being a distracting element in your interior for all the wrong reasons.
Painting over radiators can be done, but there are a number of important matters to look out for. For one thing, it is vital that you first clean, sand and strip the old radiator before you relacquer it. Things which few people bother with, because it is all highly labour-intensive. Skipping one of these steps does not do you any favours either, as an overpainted radiator does not perform the way it should, not to mention the fact that its looks are gone for good.
The more durable alternative is to replace your old and worn-out radiator with a new model that is up with the latest technology and fully complies with all modern standards and requirements. Doing so dispels the need for what can be a time and labour intensive repainting job. What is more, a spanking new radiator sets you up for years to come. And while you are at it, why not go for a radiator in a colour that will perfectly blend in with your home interior?
Radiators are real eye-catchers in any interior. Not only do they bring living comfort, they also lift the appeal of your living room, bathroom and bedroom to a whole new level. Radiators come in all sorts of models, sizes and colours:
In terms of materials too, there are several options open to you: steel, aluminium or chromed radiators. Vasco's radiators come with a wide number of strong suits: they look extremely elegant, they are energy-efficient and deliver the comfort you crave.
