A premium gloss white vertical designer radiator delivering 3,862 BTU from a slim 560mm body. 1600mm height, single panel construction, 52mm depth, 23.68kg. 5 year Kartell UK manufacturer guarantee. All fixings included.
The widest 1600mm-tall option in the Boston range, the Kartell K-Rad Boston 1600 x 550mm White Vertical Single Designer Radiator is the choice when you need maximum heat output but ceiling height (or radiator positioning) rules out the 1800mm version. The 560mm body delivers 3,862 BTU (1,132W) from a slim 52mm profile — ideal for larger living rooms, family kitchens and open-plan spaces. SKU: BOS1600-550W.
At 1600mm tall and 560mm wide, this is the widest 1600mm-tall single panel Boston — the natural choice when ceiling height rules out the 1800mm version but you still need high heat output.
The 9-tube panel delivers 484 BTU more than the 480mm version from the same height — ideal for larger living rooms, family kitchens and open-plan spaces where horizontal radiators are impractical.
Despite the wider body, the single panel construction sits just 52mm from the wall — preserving floor space and keeping the design feel slim and modern.
The premium gloss white powder coat (RAL 9003) is durable, scratch-resistant and brightens interiors — the natural choice for larger family rooms, kitchens and open-plan spaces.
The 24.3kg weight reflects the solid mild steel construction — this radiator feels and looks like a genuine designer product, with proper heft and presence.
Full coverage on the genuine 5 year guarantee — registered direct with Kartell UK in your name. This is the original Kartell-branded Boston, not a re-branded copy.

When to use: Pipework rises vertically from the floor and connects to the side tappings of the radiator. This is the most common UK installation type for vertical radiators.
When to use: Pipework rises directly from the floor into the bottom tappings in a straight vertical line.
When to use: Pipework rises behind the radiator and connects to the bottom tappings at an angle, giving a clean concealed finish.

The 1600 x 550mm is the choice when ceiling height, dado rails, sloping ceilings or a window position rule out the 1800mm version — or when you simply prefer a slightly more horizontal-leaning vertical design. It still delivers 3,862 BTU which suits rooms up to 17m².
Allow approximately 1700mm tall x 660mm wide total wall space — the radiator itself is 1613mm tall and 560mm wide, plus clearance for valves and pipework. Pipe centres are 510mm.
This radiator projects 52mm from the wall — one of the slimmest profiles in the Boston single panel range, helping preserve floor space and giving a clean, unobtrusive appearance even at the wider 560mm size.
No — valves are sold separately. We recommend matching Kartell K-Design White or Chrome TRV twin packs for visual consistency. See the Valves tab above for angled, straight or corner options depending on your pipework.
Yes — this is the original Kartell-branded Boston (BOS1600-550W, EAN 5060168223784) supplied through Kartell UK’s authorised distribution. Some retailers re-brand the same Kartell radiator under their own house name; we don’t. You get the genuine Kartell guarantee, registered in your name.
Yes — the Boston operates well at lower flow temperatures typical of modern air-source heat pump systems. At heat pump flow temperatures (often Delta T30 or T40) the BTU output will be lower than the quoted Delta T60 figure — call 01282 429061 for sizing advice.
