Radiator Feet

Radiator feet are often overlooked, but they're essential for ensuring your radiator is stable and secure. They provide extra support, which is especially important for heavier radiators or if your walls aren't as strong as you'd like.

At The Radiator Warehouse, we offer a wide selection of radiator feet to suit every style and budget. Whether you're looking for a classic design to complement a traditional radiator or a modern look for a contemporary space, we have the perfect feet to complete your heating system. 

Don't underestimate the importance of these small but mighty components – they can make a big difference in the safety and longevity of your radiator.

What Are Radiator Feet?

Radiator feet are the supports that sit underneath your radiator, providing extra stability and taking some of the weight off your walls. They're especially useful for heavier radiators, or if your walls are made of plasterboard. At The Radiator Warehouse, we offer a wide range of radiator stands in different styles and finishes to match your radiators and home décor. They're a small detail that can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of your radiators.

Why Install Radiator Stands?

Why install radiator feet? Because they offer a range of benefits that go beyond simple support. Firstly, they enhance stability, especially crucial for heavier radiators or less sturdy walls. This added stability prevents wobbling and potential damage, ensuring your radiator stays securely in place. Secondly, radiator stands can protect your walls and floors. By distributing the weight of the radiator, they reduce strain on wall brackets and prevent damage to delicate flooring. Finally, they can even improve the efficiency of your heating system by allowing for better airflow around the radiator. At The Radiator Warehouse, we offer a wide selection of radiator stands to suit every need and style, so you can enjoy these benefits while enhancing the aesthetic of your home.

The Benefits Of Radiator Feet

• Enhanced stability: Radiator stands provide extra support, preventing wobbling and keeping your radiator securely in place, especially important for heavier models or in high-traffic areas.
• Reduced wall strain: By distributing the weight, radiator stands lessen the load on wall brackets and protect your walls from potential damage, particularly crucial for plasterboard walls.
• Improved aesthetics: Radiator feet come in various styles and finishes to complement your radiator and enhance the overall look of your room.
• Versatile placement: Radiator feet offer flexibility in positioning your radiator, even on uneven floors or where wall studs are unavailable.
• Enhanced airflow: Elevating the radiator allows for better airflow, which can improve heating efficiency.
• Reduced damage: Lifting the radiator off the floor helps prevent damage to the floor or the radiator itself from dust, moisture, or accidental contact.

What To Consider When Buying Radiator Feet

Selecting the right radiator feet can seem daunting with the variety of options available. Here's a breakdown of the key factors to consider:

Radiator Style

The style of your radiator plays a significant role in determining the appropriate radiator feet. If you have a traditional column radiator, classic cast-iron or ornate radiator stands might be the perfect match. For modern radiators with clean lines, designer feet with a minimalist aesthetic would be more suitable.

Finish

The finish of the radiator feet should complement the colour and material of your radiator. For instance, if you have a white radiator, white or chrome feet would create a cohesive look. Similarly, black radiator stands might be a good choice for a black or anthracite radiator.

Support Level

Consider the weight and size of your radiator when choosing radiator feet. Larger or heavier radiators will require more robust radiator stands to provide adequate support. If you're unsure about the level of support needed, it's always best to have caution and choose sturdier feet.

Column Compatibility

If you have a column radiator, ensure the feet are compatible with the number of columns. Some radiator stands are specifically designed for two, three, or four-column radiators. Choosing the wrong type could lead to instability or an uneven appearance.
