New radiator recommendations please.

Hi
We are renewing all our radiators during a complete refurb of our house.
Husband is a retired (many years ago) Heating Engineer. He is looking for recommendations on good quality radiators at a reasonable price (of course!). Also where to source them.

Screwfix have a deal on where you get a free TRV & Lockshield with certain rads

I just had Kartell radiators put in, seem to be fine. My installer got them from MP Moran.

They seem to be standard, everyday radiators. Nothing fancy.

I have Kudox radiators
the good thing is they have 4 entrance's for the pipework,
which is good if you have air blockage as you can drain from the top of radiator with a hose attached
they do show signs of rust in my bathroom after 3 yrs, (my bathroom must be streamy) so I replace the bathroom rad every 3-4 yrs

Stelrad decent quality and price. Think they!!!8217;re Europe!!!8217;s largest radiator brand.

This is so annoying, why don't they make a better quality radiator for the bathroom with extra rust protection on it, we would be happy to pay extra for it.

because kudox are cheap radiators for the diy let only in my opinion. Stelrad do a range designed for bathrooms that shouldn’t rust so bad.

I bought Avova column rads which I think look a lot better than the normal type.

Basic towel rack rad in my mums bathroom, about 6 years old. No probs.

Just had one of these put in my own bathroom, pretty effective.

Why wouldn’t he know if he’s already in the trade?

I want to update/grade my radiators as I’m getting a new boiler. Are the ones from Screw Fix at around £50-100 decent?

We recently replaced ours with Kudox from Screwfix and Revive from Mr Central Central Heating, both look great and were very well priced
