Styling tips: Why white radiators always look stylish

"White...is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black. God paints in many colours, but he never paints so gorgeously - I had almost said so gaudily - as when he paints in white." - G. K. Chesterton

White looks good in all settings

Much like a black or navy suit, white radiators are something that will always look good regardless of the year, the setting or latest fads in the interior design world. Whether you hoping to achieve a look that is stylish, clean, minimalist or if you're not sure what kind of look you want, you can't go wrong with installing a white radiator. As Leonardo Da Vinci suggests, if you keep the basics simple, you can elaborate much more with a splash of colour elsewhere. For example, if you had a bright piece of artwork, patterned curtains or a colourful suite, having plain white radiators ensures that the eyes are drawn to the correct places.
"For those colours which you wish to be beautiful, always first prepare a pure white ground." - Leonardo Da Vinci

There's more to life than a convector radiator

If you were playing a game of Pictionary and needed to draw a radiator, it's highly likely that you would draw a standard, white convector radiator. That's very common and is normally the first radiator anyone thinks of - mainly due to the fact that there weren't many other designs available in days gone by. However, when you look into it, you might actually be very surprised at the wide variety of radiator designs that are available in white.

Aphex White Aluminium Radiators

White Aphex Aluminium Radiators If you hear the word 'aluminium', you would be forgiven for thinking that a radiator manufactured from that metal would have to be silver. However, that is not necessarily the case, as evidenced by our beautiful Aphex White Radiator Range. These stylish beauties have a lovely minimalist design, that lends itself well to anywhere in the home or even in an office environment. Aluminium is an amazing heat conductor, which means that the Aphex rads get up to your desired temperature very quickly. Not only does this result in your room feeling warm quicker than with other radiator materials, but you also aren't wasting lots of energy in getting the rad up to temperature. This benefit can have a significant impact on your heating bills over the course of a year. Aluminium is also a very light metal. This often means that it is often cheaper to install because a plumber doesn't need assistance with lifting onto the wall, as they would with heavy metals. White, great value and efficient, the beautiful Aphex radiator range is surely worth of consideration.
