What is the best radiator for a kitchen?

Our pick

The best radiator for a kitchen is a vertical or plinth radiator.

General guidance based on how a kitchen is used and loses heat, not a test of individual products. Size it for your room before you buy.

Based on standard UK heat-loss guidance · we don’t sell radiatorsSize it for your kitchen

Why

Kitchens have limited wall space, so a tall vertical radiator or a discreet plinth (kickspace) heater fits where a standard radiator won't.
