Choice of radiator
Hey,
Just about to buy a towel rail type radiator for the new system we're having fitted at the end of the month. We quite fancy this one http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...82303&ts=85170 Originally we saw one in MFI very similar to this, but they wanted more than double the price ( yeah, watch me give ANY of my money to MFI!), any reason why we shouldn't buy this one from screwfix? If so, any pointers as to where I should be looking for one? Thanks, -- The Great Poobarr. |

Bricodepot is definitely at the bottom. It makes Focus look outstanding. |
