Ask your QuestionI'm thinking of buying a chrome radiator. What are the pros and cons of a chrome radiator? Are the chrome radiators most expensive than other options? Thanks in adavnce.
Asked by Joyce on 24th Aug 2021"Assuming you are talking about a chrome towel rail (radiator), they are very good as you can dry your towels as well as heat the room. A con would be that a chrome version has a lower heat output than a white one. Chrome radiators tend to be more expensive than white options, but they do make bathrooms look more modern and fresh. Kind regards, Richard"
