- Firstly, if you haven't already done so, use our heat calculator to work out your specific requirements for your room to ensure you are looking at the right size electric radiator — in terms of the Watts / Kilowatts heat output it gives.

colour & finish
- Painted in Silver (premium wet paint).
- Finished in a metallic, smooth texture.
- This is a premium wet paint, applied using a hand-finished liquid paint (as opposed to an automated powder paint), creating a deeper, more metallic finish.
- Note: If you don't have the budget for a premium wet paint, the closest powder-coated colour match would be Inox - slightly less silvery and a more blunt silvery grey. Costs approx. 25% less. Call us to request this colour as it is not listed for this model on the website.
- A 150 × 50mm colour chip of this finish is available to purchase for preview (link on the right-hand side of page).
- Additionally, we have created a thorough and detailed technical guide on paint finishes and colours, giving even more information and tips.
installation & features
- Element is pre-fitted inside the radiator (right-hand side, E8 connection). If you would like it on the left-hand side (E1 connection), please contact us to place this as a special order. Consider where your electric supply will be so the wire has the shortest distance to travel.
