Angled or straight radiator valves better?

Options
I'm replacing a bathroom radiator with a towel rail type radiator. Is it better to use angled radiator valves and have the pipes come through the wall or straight and have them come through the floor?

At the moment they are capped off under the floor, so angled would be a little more work but was thinking through the wall would make flooring easier.

  • Go for whichever you prefer, both function the same way. Through the wall looks nicer in my opinion and makes flooring easier but only if you want the hassle. We were re-boarding all the walls so it was easy to redirect the pipes through the wall and board over them but if we hadn't been I'd have stuck with them coming up from the floor.
