The Pimlico cast iron model from Paladin Radiators is based on a design first produced in the late Victorian era, later becoming popular in Edwardian homes. This slimline cast iron radiator is designed for smaller rooms, or tight spaces, having only two columns and a 110mm depth. It will fit nicely into a traditional cottage setting and in modern bathrooms.
Available in three heights (460, 660 and 760mm) as well as lengths ranging from around 200mm to 2.5m, there is a suitable model for a variety of requirements.
Customers can choose from a wide range of finishes, including Farrow & Ball colours that are created to enhance heritage decor. Paladin also has a range of its own paint colours, or alternatively customers can choose a metallic finish. The company can also cater to almost any bespoke request.

For customers looking for something a bit different to the standard ladder-style towel rail, Gloucester-based Apollo Radiators offers a number of models that deliver on personality as well as performance. These decorative models are crafted from polished stainless steel to create a contemporary aesthetic.
The Guarda Z designer towel rail (pictured, right) is made from marine grade 304 stainless steel and measures 953mm high and 500mm wide. Output is 370W and features plenty of room to hang and warm up wet towels.
Another unusual option is the Genova Wave (pictured, left). This model is suitable for bathrooms or kitchens where extra towel hanging space is required. Like the Guarda Z model, the Genova Wave is made from marine grade 304 stainless steel and is polished to a mirror shine. Measuring 600mm wide, it is available in two different heights: 1000mm with a 382W output, and 1500mm with a 550W output.
Both of these towel rails are available as electric-only or dual fuel and can be purchased from stock in two days.
