Getting your home ready for winter can be a big job! One of the most overlooked areas is radiators, which are often overlooked until they start to look dated. Painting them yourself is an easy way to give your home a new lease on life and it doesn’t cost much at all. Fortunately, radiator paint is specifically formulated to help the heat from the radiator, well…radiate. This makes the radiator more efficient and ultimately will save you a small amount of money on heating bills. That’s of course not mentioning how great new radiator paint can look and moreover, how easy it is to achieve an attractive finish. Summary

Most professional decorators just use the same paint as they’re using on the woodwork though with the most popular choice being Johnstone’s Aqua Guard satin. Are there elements of laziness here? More than likely. But it just goes to show that sometimes convenience beats quality in the decorating world. Before you get started, gather some white spirit and some rags or old clothes.

This will make life a lot easier later on as it will soften any paint that has been applied over the years.As radiators get older they become less efficient at outputting heat and you may find that over time your radiator has more and more ‘cold spots’. Compared to other paints, Ronseal’s radiator paint has relatively low odour although it’s advised that you keep the room in which you’re painting well ventilated before, during and after application. You can spruce up those old pipes by adding fresh coats of bright white paint. Here are some tips for how to do just that:
