Flat radiators

[Set Square]

I have recently been in a house which has flat radiators - i.e. the whole of the front surface is covered with a flat sheet of metal rather than the usual fluted effect. [They actually look fluted underneath but with an extra layer which looks as if it's factory fitted rather than a subsequent modification]

SWMBO seems to think that these are more aesthetically acceptable than the usual design. Does anyone know who makes them, or where to get them?

[It's no use asking the householder - because it's a rented house, and the rads were there when he moved in]

They're not the low surface temperature covers for, I think, Myson or Barlo rads are they?

Just a thought..

You might look at ThermaPanels - assuming they're still made. The front surface is a flat cover with fine flutes - and has the advantage that it's not so hot to the touch as a normal rad so useful where there are toddlers. And I rather like the look.

B&Q actually have one in their catalogue. But the output is only 500W so for most rooms it's not going to make it warm enough.

used them, though)

Many thanks. They're not quite what I saw - but would probably do.
