A very simple question: Is it ok to site a radiator beneath a combi
boiler? The boiler will be in the bathroom. Can't think of any reason
why not. Can anyone else? Cheers

Why not install a quality heated towel rail instead?

Is there such a thing?


I've been trying to find one for weeks that isn't either white or chrome.

I'm looking for one with a stainless steel/pewter type of finish. Can I
find one? Nope.

Myson will do bespoke ones, so presumably you can bespeak the finish.

Thanks for that, Frank.

They have quite a good standard range of shapes and sizes, so that aspect
seems OK - I can probably find a suitable product.

I notice that they do a brushed nickel finish. That might well be suitable
as long as it's not too bright.

I think I'll call them on Monday and see if I can get a sample of metal
finished in this colour.

I'm not expecting a low price for this rail - very likely it will be
£200-300+ even for a small one. I looked at their designer range for a
radiator for my conservatory. There is quite a nice cast one with a wooden
seat on the top. Only trouble is that it's price is north of £2k and I
didn't want to pay that much.


thanks again

TLC do stainless steel ones - at good prices too.

Thanks for the pointer. Yes, the prices are quite keen as you say.

I hadn't realised that they were quite so polished an appearance, though.
It's that that I'm trying to avoid. I thought that stainless steel would (I
suppose it would if unpolished).

Will have to keep looking.....

TLC sell stainless steel ones. Dunno if they're mirror or satin finish,
though. But as all stainless will end up satin eventually...

Would gas barrel look quite nice if burnished up?

Gas barrel?

I don't know how much it cost to get one bead-blasted, but maybe that
would be an option?

Good point. I do wonder about plated finishes which would be the case with
mild steel products.

Make your own towel rail out of gas barrel?

Sorry, it didn't seem like /such/ a daft suggestion.

Sorry, Owain, it wasn't that I didn't think it was a good idea. It was
that I don't know what gas barrel is.....

Please could you elucidate.....

thx

Iron pipe - rather like electrical conduit.
