Creative Radiators use a high-quality heating element and a thermo-radiant heating mat that work together to heat up quickly and then hold the temperature using minimal power. The element absorbs energy and warms fast, the mat spreads that heat across the whole radiating surface, and the radiator then releases warmth slowly and evenly into the room as radiant heat.

No. Creative Radiators are not filled with bricks and do not need to be charged overnight. Many customers use them to replace old storage heaters. Heat is available whenever you want it, at the touch of a button, with no pipework and no floors lifted.

Every radiator has its own independent eco-design thermostat, and temperature can be set to the nearest 0.1 degree, separately for each radiator and room. The radiator heats at full power at first, usually for about 30 minutes from cold, then uses minimal energy to maintain your chosen temperature. You can also programme different temperatures for different times of day and days of the week over a repeating seven-day schedule.

Yes. Every Creative Radiators design meets the EcoDesign and Lot 20 standard, and each unit is controlled by a smart programmer to reduce wasted energy. Creative Radiators state that over a 24-hour period their radiators use approximately 30% less energy than other electric radiator systems. Your actual running costs depend on your electricity tariff, insulation and how you use the heating.

Your main choices are the style of radiator and the size needed for each room. Creative Radiators offer Perfetto (Marmo), Toscana, Tessuto, Ginko, Rovere50 wood-effect, Veneziaa handmade radiators, the MioMaarmo bespoke collection and Max Radiators in lava stone. Every design meets EcoDesign and Lot 20 requirements, so each can replace storage heaters or an old water-filled gas system. You can browse all ranges in our brochures and photo gallery.

As a starting point, allow 35 watts per cubic metre of room volume, then adjust for insulation and room orientation. Use up to 45 watts per cubic metre for a property with no insulation and single-glazed windows, and as little as 30 watts per cubic metre for a well-insulated, double-glazed new home. Also consider whether the room faces north or south, how many windows it has and the type of glazing. Contact us for a free recommendation.

Yes. The MioMaarmo bespoke collection offers custom-designed limited-edition radiators, horizontal or vertical, including art painted onto radiators. The Perfetto range also has a smooth, customisable surface finish.

Yes. The iNovo range offers Wi-Fi electric radiators with app control and voice-assistant compatibility. Availability and specification vary by model, so please see the iNovo page or ask our team before ordering.

No. One person can typically install a complete system of seven radiators in one day, about one hour per radiator. Each radiator hangs on two wall brackets (four drilled holes) and plugs into a nearby standard domestic socket. Brackets are supplied, and electrical connections are pre-wired with certified cable. There is no pipework, no lifting of floors and no disruption to decoration.

Many customers self-install, and you are also free to use your own qualified electrician. Creative Radiators also keep a UK-wide list of approved installers trained by us, and we can put you in touch with the nearest one for a quote. We offer free advice by phone or email.

No. Creative Radiators are handcrafted one at a time rather than mass produced, so natural variations are part of their character. Small spots or tiny bubbles on the surface can occur and are not considered faults. These variations are a result of how the material is made and finished.
