Here at the heat is on, we put the knowledge of what you need directly in your hands as the homeowner, so you needn’t ask or wait for information from your plumber. Here we give you complete expert guidance for this specific designer radiator — including details of any additional parts required — so you can ensure a smooth and successful installation when your tradesman arrives.
heat output
- Firstly, if you haven't already done so – use our heat calculator to work out your specific requirements for your room, ensuring you are selecting the correct size designer radiator in terms of the BTUs heat output it provides.
design & material
- Colorado is a traditional-style column radiator, ideal for adding a touch of period or vintage character to your home.
- Classic multi-column design, popular throughout the UK for both heritage and contemporary interiors.
- Column radiators feature three key variables — height, width, and depth (typically 2 to 4 columns deep) — which can be ordered as required to achieve the desired heat output.
- Depths vary as follows:
- 2 column: 95mm
- 3 column: 130mm
- 4 column: 170mm
- Constructed from high-quality steel for durability and efficient performance.
- Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on central heating radiators, giving even more information and tips.
colour & finish
- Lacquer version finished with a clear lacquer applied directly over the steel surface.
- The welding and brazing marks remain visible beneath the lacquer, creating a modern industrial appearance with raw, authentic character.
- Each radiator has a slightly unique appearance due to natural variations in the lacquer process.
- Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on paint finishes and colours, giving even more information and tips.
installation & orientation
- Additional gravity support feet available if you have weaker walls.
- Delivers high heat output due to its well-engineered convection channels.
- Note: Landscape models need to be fitted horizontally and portrait models vertically; they cannot be inverted.
advice on which valves to purchase for piped installation (central heating)
- This radiator is not supplied with valves, as we have such a vast selection of styles & colours to choose from. We do not include them because we cannot make this choice on your behalf.
- Choosing the correct valves is easy with our guidance. Once a radiator has been chosen, valve selection can feel daunting — even plumbers rarely make the best aesthetic choice. As the homeowner, this decision is best made by you.
- On the right-hand side of this page we have pre-filtered our vast selection of valves to show only the optimal valves for this specific model. You’ll see two sections:
- 1. matching/complementary colour valve & pipe sets — either an exact match (painted using the same paint as the radiator) or the closest complementary match, depending on availability. These valves come complete with pipes and wall covers for a professional finish.
- 2. standard valve & pipe sets — more economical standard valves which are not painted to match the radiator. Pipes and covers must be purchased separately.
-
Which orientation of valves do I need: 3-Axis (corner), straight or angled?
- 1. Pipework through the wall — for most modern installations you'll need 3-axis corner valves. If your pipework is not yet in place, ask your plumber to bring it through the wall.
- 2. Pipework through the floor — you'll need angled valves.
- Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on radiator valves, giving even more information and tips.

- Fully built and tested to EN442 standards and UKCA certified.
- Heat outputs are independently verified by an external testing house to ensure accuracy.
guarantee & warranty
