More Than Just a Surface: The Power of a Radiator’s Finish

When choosing a radiator, most people focus on size, shape, or heat output. But one of the most impactful decisions you’ll make is the finish. The surface of your radiator defines how it feels in a room, how it ages over time, and how much it contributes to your interior’s identity.

At Rocotherm, we offer stainless steel, chrome, and painted finishes—each with its own strengths. So which one suits your style and lifestyle best?

1. Stainless Steel: Modern, Durable, and Timeless

Stainless steel radiators are the epitome of modern practicality. At Rocotherm, we craft ours from high-grade brushed or polished stainless steel, offering a luxurious yet understated look.

Benefits:

• Corrosion-resistant, ideal for humid environments like bathrooms or kitchens
• Low maintenance—no need for repainting or coating touch-ups
• Matches industrial, minimalist, or contemporary interiors
• Long-lasting with natural wear resistance

Best For:

• Bathrooms with high humidity
• Kitchens where durability matters
• Homes with modern or industrial aesthetics

Our stainless steel range isn’t just tough—it’s elegant. See OCTAGON range. Whether polished to a mirror shine or brushed for a muted finish, it always looks intentional.

2. Chrome: Sleek, Reflective, and Refined

A chrome radiator is a statement of sophistication. The highly reflective surface gives your room a brighter, more open feel and matches perfectly with chrome bathroom or kitchen fittings.

Benefits:

• Reflective surface adds depth and light to smaller rooms
• Complements chrome taps, handles, and accessories
• Smooth, tactile finish with a premium look

Considerations:

• Chrome reflects heat slightly less efficiently than painted or stainless steel finishes
• Requires regular cleaning to maintain its shine and prevent water spots

Best for:

• Bathrooms or powder rooms with chrome fixtures
• Spaces where visual lightness is desired
• Design-forward interiors with shiny or high-contrast features

Chrome radiators by Rocotherm are crafted for both style and function, with plating techniques that ensure durability and brilliance over time.

3. Painted Radiators: Versatile, Bold, and Customizable

Painted radiators offer unmatched design flexibility. Whether you’re looking for a classic white towel warmer or a bold red accent piece, the color spectrum is wide open.

Benefits:

• Available in hundreds of RAL colors and textures (matte, gloss, satin)
• Easy to match with walls, tiles, furniture, or branding themes
• Painted finishes retain slightly more heat than chrome
• Ideal for interior designers and homeowners seeking cohesion or contrast

Best For:

• Living rooms, bedrooms, and creative spaces
• Statement walls or color-themed rooms
• Projects where personalization matters

Rocotherm uses high-quality powder coatings that resist fading, chipping, and wear—even in high-use areas.
