Flat panel radiators combine a smooth, contemporary flat front with strong heat output, making them one of the most popular designer radiator upgrades in UK homes. This range is stocked as single panel and double panel flat panel radiators in anthracite grey, white and black, across a full spread of vertical radiator and horizontal radiator sizes — from a compact bathroom flat panel radiator to a full-height living room vertical radiator. Behind the flat face, hidden convector fins push up BTU output without adding visual bulk, giving you the slim radiator profile of a premium designer brand at trade prices.
Single Panel vs Double Panel Flat Radiators
A single flat panel radiator has one panel and one set of convector fins — a slimmer wall projection and lighter weight, ideal for smaller rooms, bathrooms and secondary heating. A double flat panel radiator adds a second panel and fin set, delivering roughly twice the BTU output within the same face dimensions — the right call for living rooms, larger spaces and rooms with higher heat demand. Both configurations share the same flat, contemporary front face.
Anthracite, White & Black Flat Panel Finishes
Every size in this range is available in three durable powder-coat finishes. The anthracite flat panel radiator is the best-seller for modern interiors and pairs well with grey and neutral colour schemes. White suits traditional and neutral rooms, and the black flat panel radiator makes a bold, matt statement in contemporary spaces. All three finishes hide dust, wipe clean in seconds and resist chipping and scuffs.
Vertical & Horizontal Flat Panel Radiators
Fit a horizontal flat panel radiator neatly under a window or along a standard wall for classic proportions, or choose a tall vertical radiator to save wall space in hallways, kitchens and compact rooms while adding a striking design feature. Both formats use the same flat panel and convector fin construction, so heat output scales predictably with size regardless of orientation.
Where Flat Panel Radiators Work Best
Flat panel radiators suit living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, home offices and hallways. The clean flat front and easy-clean powder coat make it a practical, low-maintenance choice for busy family homes, rental properties, HMOs and commercial fit-outs where a slim radiator profile and fast turnaround matter as much as looks.

Sizes & Heat Output (BTU)
Each variant lists height, width, panel configuration and BTU/watt output. Select your colour first, then choose the size and single or double panel option that meets or exceeds your room's calculated heat requirement. Double panel models are the faster route to a higher BTU output without moving up a height or width bracket.
Installation & UK Central Heating
Wall-mounted using the supplied brackets and connected to standard UK central heating via 1/2 inch BSP valves (sold separately). Compatible with combi, system and conventional boilers. Installation by a qualified plumber or heating engineer is recommended — this is a structural wall fixing carrying a filled radiator's full weight, so use proper wall fixings for your wall type.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a flat panel radiator?
A flat panel radiator has a smooth, flat front face with no visible columns or fins, giving a clean contemporary look. Behind the flat panel are convector fins that maximise heat output. Available in single-panel and double-panel configurations, with double panels giving roughly twice the BTU output for the same face dimensions.
What is the difference between single and double flat panel radiators?
A single flat panel radiator has one panel and one set of convector fins — slimmer, lighter and suited to smaller rooms. A double panel has two panels and two sets of fins, delivering significantly higher heat output in the same footprint.
Can flat panel radiators be mounted horizontally and vertically?
Yes. Horizontal models sit under windows or along standard walls. Vertical models are tall and narrow, saving wall space in hallways, kitchens and compact rooms.
What colours are flat panel radiators available in?
Anthracite grey, white and black across all sizes and formats.
Are flat panel radiators compatible with UK central heating?
Yes — standard UK central heating systems with 15mm pipe centres, compatible with combi, system and conventional boilers. Valves sold separately.
How do I choose the right size?
Calculate the BTU requirement for your room based on size and insulation, then pick a model with equal or slightly higher BTU output.
