Column Radiators
A column radiator gives you the cast iron silhouette without the weight, the cost or the hour-long warm-up.
These are pressed mild steel, powder coated and hung on ordinary wall brackets, so they reach temperature in minutes and nobody has to strengthen your floor to fit one.
The real question on a category this size is whether one of them fits your wall. Between our own DUSC Columns range and the Kartell K-Rad Laser Klassic there are 129 to choose from, in white and black, horizontal and vertical.

Measure your pipe centres first. Pipe centres are the distance between your existing valve tails. Match that number and the new radiator goes straight onto the pipework you already have, with no lifted floorboards and no re-piping. It is on every DUSC Columns listing.

How many columns
2 Column68–92mm
The slimmest option. Hallways, landings and bedrooms, or anywhere a door or a walkway is tight.
3 Column100–118mm
The all-rounder, and the most popular by a distance. Roughly a third more heat than a 2 column of the same height and width.
4 Column140–160mm
Living rooms, dining rooms and period properties with high ceilings, bay windows or solid walls.
6 Column243mm
Maximum output from the least wall. Extensions, conservatories, and rooms that have never quite warmed up.
What size for my room
Up to 8 sq msmall bedroom, study
Needs roughly 3,100 to 4,200 BTU.
White 2 column 500 x 965mm — 3,124 BTU. The slim option at 92mm deep, for under a window.
White 2 column vertical 1500 x 425mm — 3,226 BTU. Same output from 425mm of wall, if width is the problem.
8 to 14 sq mdouble bedroom, dining room
Needs roughly 5,500 to 7,300 BTU.
White 4 column 600 x 965mm — 5,470 BTU. The usual answer at this size.
White 6 column 400 x 965mm — 5,552 BTU. Only 400mm high, so it fits under a low sill. Deeper at 243mm.
14 to 20 sq mliving room
Needs roughly 7,800 to 10,400 BTU.
White 4 column 600 x 1370mm — 7,813 BTU. Full width along one wall.
White 6 column 600 x 965mm — 7,928 BTU. Same output from 400mm less width, by going deeper.
Over 20 sq mopen plan
Needs roughly more than 10,400 BTU.
White 4 column 750 x 1370mm — 9,766 BTU. The highest output in the range. Above roughly 25 sq m you are into two radiators rather than one, which also heats the space more evenly.
Common questions
Will one fit my existing pipework?
Usually yes, provided you match the pipe centres. Measure centre to centre across the two valves on your current radiator and look for the same figure on the listing. If you are fitting new valves too, allow around 90mm on top of the radiator width for the valve bodies.
Horizontal or vertical?
Horizontals sit under a window or along a low wall, from 300mm to 750mm high. Verticals run 1500mm or 1800mm tall and turn a narrow strip of wall into useful heat. If wall space is the constraint rather than height, a vertical gives you more output from the same footprint.
How much heat do I need?
Every listing publishes its output in watts and BTU, so you can size the room before you order rather than after. Work on 390 to 520 BTU per square metre of floor and use the size guide above to match a room to a radiator. Size up towards the higher figure for north-facing rooms, bay windows or a lot of glass.
Do I need feet, and are valves included?
Brackets and fixings are in the box. Feet are decorative rather than load bearing and can be added from the dropdown on horizontal product pages where they are offered. Valves are sold separately so you can choose the finish, and the range is in radiator valves and accessories.
What guarantee do these carry?
Five years on both the DUSC Columns and the Kartell K-Rad ranges, on top of free standard delivery to mainland UK. We are a plumbing merchant rather than a marketplace seller, so you can ring us if you want to talk a size through.
