From magnetic hooks and additional towel rails to advanced thermostatic valves, the right additions can turn a standard radiator into a multifunctional feature that saves energy, improves usability, and elevates the look of any room. In this guide, we’ll explore the must-have radiator accessories and upgrades that many homeowners overlook, helping you get the most out of your heating system.

Valves:

Your valves can have a significant impact on both the appearance and performance of your radiators and towel rails. Pairing modern styled valves like our Essential manual valves with a traditional looking towel rail like the Elveden or Cantley may sound appealing on paper; however the final look can appear mismatched and disrupt overall aesthetics. In contrast, our Luxury Crossheads, The Adoni perfectly complement that classic more periodic style of our Traditional handmade rails.

In addition to this, the functionality of your valves is also important to your space. Whilst manual valves are usually on the more price friendly side, they will manually require you to turn the valves off. Whereas, the pricier Thermostatic (TRV) valves give you more control by being able to individually set a temperature for every heating appliance you have and will regulate this for you.

Additional Hanging Options: 

Most of our radiators come with the option for an additional hanging option on them – Whether that’s an additional towel rail or a magnetic hook/peg.

These additional hanging options are a fantastic space-saving solution, particularly in areas like the kitchen where every inch counts. Adding a towel rail or hook to your radiator provides a convenient and dedicated spot for hand towels or tea towels, helping you keep your space organised, tidy, and effortlessly functional.

We are also able to create multi-functionality in some of our towel rails like the Tesoro.  The additional oak shelves are able to accommodate those bathroom essentials, saving the need for additional storage units.

Sleeving Kits and Element Covers:

You’ve installed your radiator and valves, but the look doesn’t seem completed yet. You may be in need of a sleeving kit! Our range of sleeving kits cover unsightly pipework and match your chosen valves, leaving a cohesive finished look in any space.

In addition to this, we’re also able to cover those unsightly element tables with our element covers.

Heating and Wifi Elements: 

For the energy conscious and greener homes who are looking to minimalise their impact on the environment – Heating elements are a fantastic option. DQ are committed to accommodating all types of homes and spaces, which is why we have an extensive range of heating elements.

From Essential elements that work quietly in the background—bringing radiators and towel rails up to temperature before switching off—to WiFi-enabled elements that give users full control over how and when they heat their space, there’s an option to suit every need.
