Design radiators
Decision aids & expert tips
When selecting the right radiator, the factors of operating mode, area of application, and also the appearance play a crucial role.
In addition, we recommend considering the room size, construction type, and individual requirements, and in case of uncertainty, relying on expert advice to avoid mistakes in sizing and system compatibility. This ensures that the chosen radiator fits optimally to the respective living situation and creates a pleasant as well as energy-efficient room climate.

Language of forms and function
Technology
Basically, we distinguish between water-carrying operation, electric operation, and mixed operation. All design radiators from HSK can be connected to the heating system. Only the infrared radiator Retango and the new purely electric dry radiators Yenga-E and Baro-E are independent of the central heating system and are connected to the power grid. Thus, they are completely flexible to use and particularly advantageous where there is no connection to the heating system, e.g., in old buildings or attics. A popular electric alternative to classic central heating also includes a heating rod in the design radiator.
Area of application
The optimal design between heating power and modern aesthetics creates a cozy warmth in the desired room and simultaneously becomes an eye-catcher, whether on the wall or as a room divider. It is crucial to consider the size of the area to be heated and the design pursued by the decor. We offer designer radiators with different power levels, also suitable for low-temperature systems and heat pumps. For particularly critical splash water areas near the shower cabin, shower tray, or sink, many models are available with an additional anti-corrosion protective layer.
Optics
For design radiators from HSK, there is a wide selection of colors. In addition to the standard colors, several special colors are available. The material and surface of the HSK design radiators are made of high-quality steel, and all products receive a standard anti-corrosion pretreatment. Furthermore, the two-component plastic powder coating ensures a long lifespan and excellent substance. The desired color is thus light- and temperature-resistant, durable, and guarantees the best surface appearance.

Which radiators are suitable for the heat pump?
Optimal are radiators that are suitable for low temperatures. Heat pumps operate most efficiently with low flow temperatures between 30 and 50 °C. Radiators with a large surface area, such as our XXX???, are ideally suited for this.
Electric design radiators
We essentially distinguish between electric operation and infrared heating. In electric operation, the design radiator is heated purely electrically or by the heating element, and the heat is gradually released to the surrounding air. An infrared heater does not warm the room air but heats objects and bodies in the room, which in turn leads to an increase in room temperature.
What is the difference?
- Programmable heating times for increased efficiency and lower operating costs
- Silent operation
- Flexibility in heating individual rooms, especially in areas without heating pipes
- Easy installation, as only a power connection is required
- Lower maintenance costs and effort
Expert tips:
The venting of all radiators should regularly take place at least once a year. The air should completely escape. The plug should remain open until water comes out. This saves costs and ensures proper heat output from the design radiator.
Do you know this feeling too? The heating in the living room gets warm quickly, but in the children's room upstairs it takes almost forever? To achieve the desired heat supply evenly in all rooms, a hydraulic balancing helps. All HSK designer radiators can be prepared for this technique with the appropriate thermostat valves from our range. All our thermostat valves are adjustable and make this possible: the hydraulic balancing is controlled through the HSK fittings, which are subject to a verified standard. This also balances the energy consumption: as much as necessary, as little as possible.
With the right care, you can enjoy your designer radiator for a long time. Clean the radiator regularly with a soft damp cloth and then dry it. Vinegar cleaners and abrasive tools like scrubbing agents, as well as steam cleaners, are not recommended. You should also avoid hanging dripping wet clothing and towels on it.
