Vertical Radiators

[Kat74]

Does anyone know where I can get a good quality, basic vertical radiator?
Most of the places/websites I've tried offer 'designer' versions at a high price. I'm happy to pay for quality but don't want/need the 'designer' look; just a plain radiator. I need about 5000 BTU's. Any suggestions?

what size are we talking about ?

As narrow as possible; it's to create a bit of wall space in a bedroom that has a lot of alcoves.
The ones I've seen are 180-200 cm high and about 40-60 cm wide - this size is fine. The room has fairly high ceilings (about 10') so it can take a tall radiator.

Stelrad do them 1600, 1800, 2000 & 2400mm high x 300,500 & 600 wide

Have a look at http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk and enter "VP" in the search box

Some of the cast iron look column rads that B&Q do don't cost a lot more and look a lot nicer http://www.diy.com

Or just buy an ordinary rad and mount it sideways - derate it of course but it works.
