The kitchen is an integral part of any home. We use it to socialize, eat and relax, so it must be cozy and comfortable. We can do this by adding heating to create an inviting atmosphere for our family and guests.
Know Your Options For Kitchen Heating
There are a few options to choose from when it comes to heating a kitchen, from a radiator to underfloor heating and plinth heaters – there is a perfect solution for all spaces. Below, we’ll look at some options you could choose to warm your kitchen.
Vertical Radiators
These radiators look great in a kitchen environment and are becoming popular in modern homes. The vertical design means you can save on wall space if your kitchen is on the smaller side and save floor space. You can choose from various widths and heights, so you can choose a radiator that fits perfectly into your room.
You can make sure you’re heating your kitchen in style with a designer radiator – you could even make it a focal point by choosing an attractive stainless-steel option or choose something in a color that you love to lift the room to put your stamp on it.
Towel Rails
A towel rail is another excellent option for your kitchen – if you’ve been washing up and need to dry your towels, you can hang them on your rail to dry in time to be used when you need them. You could also utilize your rail if you need more space to dry washing. But just because they’re helpful doesn’t mean they have to be boring.
Much like vertical radiators, you can save wall space and floor space. Choose from a range of colors and designs to get the perfect heating element for your kitchen. Towel rails are practical and efficient, so as well as drying your towels, they can heat the room quickly.
Colored Radiators
If you’re looking for a talking point, something that will inspire your visitors and make your kitchen stand out, a colored radiator could be an exciting option. Colored radiators are designed to look stylish and to inject a little bit of delight into your home. You can choose from towel rails, vertical radiators, and column radiators available in various colors to suit you.
Whether you’re looking for something bright and eye-catching, or you’re looking for a color to add to a specific aesthetic, you can choose anything from bright orange to chic, steely grey.
Underfloor heating
If you’re low on space or want to choose a solution other than a radiator to heat your kitchen, underfloor heating is becoming more popular in homes across the country. It is a hidden heating option that you can feel and not see – which is why it is an excellent alternative if you don’t want to take up space with a radiator.
Suppose you’re heating a more oversized kitchen. In that case, a radiator may not be able to supply the heat necessary to warm the whole room – underfloor heating can help with this, heating it thoroughly in areas that a radiator may not reach.
Plinth heaters
You can install these types of heaters on the plinth in your kitchen. They can be connected to central heating, or they can be electric. They are one of the best options if you are low on space as they are built into the plinth under your kitchen cupboards and units so that they won’t take up any space.
They are both affordable and easy to install. However, they may need to be used with another heating system as they can heat colder spots but may struggle to heat a larger kitchen alone.
