I'm replacing all the radiators in our house and I quite like the look of the Apollo radiators. Does anyone have any experience of them and any idea of where is best to purchase them?

Equally, any other suggestion of other radiators similar to Apollo's Roma range of radiators would be interesting.

Any help much appreciated.

I've fitted a house out in those or ones very similar looking. We got ours through a local merchants, I'm tempted to say Plumbase.

If they're the ones that we used, they are modular in construction. With the right tools, you can extend or reduce them in length, I recall the design being French (!?). One side has a backwards thread and the other normal.

Don't know if I've overly helped you really, but they look nice. Different.

Do search for column radiators. Lots of companies make that style. I picked up 2 on ebay for about £40 each for 30x100 3 columns.

We have similar, but ours are Acova. Pretty happy with the quality, always noticed when people visit.

Screwfix are pretty cheap.

Get decent valves as well, we have chrome danfoss ones which finish the radiator off well.

Thanks for the replies. I did look on Screwfix and saw some similar ones for a decent price. Valves aside, with radiators, is it a case of you get what you pay for, or are the expensive ones just fashionable versions of the cheaper ones?

Hi, You wouldn't choose the cheapest parts available for your car! For what it's worth TRV valves that Apollo recommend are- http://www.ottinetti.com/
Though I must confess of a professional interest www.cassini-radiators.co.uk
