We recommend the following when looking for the perfect radiator:
Â
- Consider the size of the room, as larger spaces will likely require radiators with a higher heat output or maybe even multiple radiators in some cases. If unsure, try our heating calculator, which will help narrow down your search.
- If the available wall space is minimal, consider a vertical radiator to maximise this, or even look at the spaces under windows if that is an option.
- If you're looking for a specific aesthetic, there are various styles and colours available that will match in with your interior.
- Efficiency is also a key factor, especially when it comes to keeping a handle on heating bills, so look for energy-efficient models that save both energy and money; these are often aluminium, low-water-content radiators.
- Additionally, explore practical features such as smart heating options or dual-fuel towel radiators for bathrooms, so you can dry towels through the summer without having to turn the heating on.
- With consideration for the above, you can confidently make a selection that best utilises space, complements your decor, and meets your heating requirements.
Cream
With eggshell and satin tones a common sight in homes around the UK, more and more people are finding that a plain white radiator doesn’t seem quite right on the wall. Previously, it wasn't easy to find many variations on white that looked the part.
Thankfully, Trade Radiators is here to help if you’ve been searching high and low for off-white radiators.
We have a fantastic range of varying shades like cream and oyster white for those who want something a little different and unique when choosing the finish for their radiators.

What do off-white radiators look like?
The first thing to know is that off-white doesn’t automatically mean beige. You might be surprised by how diverse this particular shade can get. Within off-white, there are two primary ranges we have in stock you should know of.
Cream Radiators
Typically finished in a matt style, although we do have many gloss options in stock too, cream radiators work best when placed against lighter grey walls. Some standard whites can look quite vibrant and stand out, whereas a cream radiator can fit in nicely.
You can view all cream radiators here.
Oyster White Radiators
Some people have a hard time trying to describe oyster white, but we think we can help paint a clear mental image in your head. If you’re the kind of person who likes their tea weak, or you’ve ever poured too much milk in, you’ll notice a slightly off-white palish tone that isn’t quite cream. That’s what oyster white looks like. Some say you get the slightest touch of green in there, but that’s usually when looking at oyster on a glossy finish.

Do you have to keep off-white radiators clean?
Off-white radiators, when painted properly, wouldn’t require any additional or special cleaning. At Trade Radiators, we also paint using premium products and can re-assure you that any brand name radiators already finished won’t need any cleaners.
Are there shades similar to off-white I should look at?
You may be looking at this page and wondering how someone can figure out what is and isn’t off-white. The easiest way to remember is by checking the RAL code of any radiator you’re looking at. If the radiator is listed as RAL 9016, it is pure white (this is sometimes referred to as traffic white).
Some of the RAL codes to help narrow down off-white shades include:
- RAL 9001 – Cream
- RAL 9002 – Grey White
- RAL 9003 – Signal White
- RAL 9010 – Pure White
- RAL 9018 – Papyrus White
If you’re looking for a specific shade, you’ll notice we have all colours listed on the filter options on the left side of the product categories.
