More Cool Designs on Heating

There is a definite chill in the air heralding the start of autumn and the inevitable switch on of central heating. If you are thinking of upgrading or replacing your heating appliances here are some stylish  designs that you might like.

 I have written before about a company called I- Radium and their infra red technology. Essentialy where conventional heating appliances warm the air, infra red warms objects and people. "Gigi" shown here is 80cm high and available in 6 different wood shades.
Excellent for little used rooms and for quick warmth.

Brem is another Italian company with a stunning portfolio of radiator designs working predominately with the top end of the market.

Stunning "Lame"  is shown here.
There are over 80 gloss, satin and metallic colours available over a very extensive range of modern designs.

K8 Radiatori use steel and aluminium in their ranges. "Bamboo Evolution" is comprised of irregular tubes which can be wall mounted or as shown here, to create a feature in a room.

K8 also do a fabulous wall mirror which is not also a heater but has an integrated lighting system.

With all heating requirements it is prudent to speak with the installer so they can best help judge size and output required.

Tubes Radiatori are another Italian company who have a fabulous range. This one called "Add-On" lets you do exactly that. It is a sectional radiator which allows you to build on components so that the design and size are custom made. Cunningly their systems allow for the valves to be remote from the unit, therefore improving the overall aesthetic look.

Radiating Heat

There are lots of sources of heat. Gas, electric, biofuel, coal, oil, open fuel logs. Another one that is gaining popularity is infra red.

While infra red is not a recent technology it has had a bit of a makeover in the design area. I- Radium have developed some exceptional products based around infra red technology and using real wood.

Here is the techy bit. "Convectional" heat from radiators and other sources heat the air.  If you consider the volume space of a room, little may be made up of the furnishings and people and more about that space we call air. Whereas "Radiating" heat which is infra red,  heats all the surfaces and not the air. Not only does it make it more energy efficient to operate, but you will feel an immediate sense of warmth





The mere fact conventional heating heats the air, also means that as soon as a draught arises, that heat is lost.

Walls, ceiling, furniture, people are all warmed through infra red. Think of it like having the sun shining on you on a cool day. You have that great feeling of immediate warmth.


The health benefits of infra red heat are also widely known. While everyone requires some heat to make them feel warm, fresh air is also desirable. This type of heat optimises the immune system and is very good for people with allergies as dust is not circulated in the air.

Back to design! The freestanding version is gorgeous! Wall mounted panels come in all shapes and sizes and basically look like works of art.

And remember the bit about just heating surface areas? Well these portable can be carried and positioned wherever you are, so no need heat vast amount of empty space.
