Vertical radiators are suitable for narrow hallways and bathrooms because they take up less space. They are also suitable near doors and windows to heat cold air coming inside. The document recommends only buying vertical radiators if they are suitable for the type of room, as horizontal radiators may heat rooms more efficiently. It provides examples of rooms where vertical radiators are appropriate, such as narrow hallways, bathrooms with limited wall space, and areas near exterior doors.

3. Vertical radiators are an extremely popular choice. Partly, this is due to
their suitability to specific types of spaces, but people also buy them
because they look good.
We would recommend that you avoid buying them simply because they
look good because this may be inappropriate for the room, meaning the
room is expensive to heat, or it doesn’t get warm enough at all.
Instead, you should only buy tall radiators when it is appropriate to do
so, and the type of space where you are hanging/installing the radiator
should be the reason for buying a vertical radiator.
Below, you will find a list of spaces where it is appropriate to hang a
vertical radiator.
In a Narrow and Short Hallway
If your hallway is narrow, then a vertical radiator will tend to work
better than a horizontal radiator. It takes up much less space, so it looks
much better and it stops the space from feeling cramped.

4. Because the hallway is narrow, it has less air to heat, and so the vertical
radiator will still be able to heat the space adequately. Horizontal
radiators are better at heat distribution because of the way that warm
and cool air interact (we won’t go into the details), but in a small space,
vertical radiators work well too.
The same advice is true of short hallways. Vertical radiators are
particularly suitable here and if the space is especially short, you won’t
be able to install a horizontal radiator that will work – it won’t be able
to produce enough heat to warm the space.
In Bathrooms, Utility Rooms, and WCs
You'll find that vertical radiators are particularly popular in these types
of room, and there are two reasons for this:
1.There isn’t much useable wall space.
This makes it difficult to install a horizontal radiator. Plus, as with the
information above, a smaller horizontal radiator will not provide
enough heat for the room, and these rooms require a lot of heat because
of the added issues of damp.

5. 2.They often come with towel rails.
It’s difficult to find a horizontal towel rail. They are invariably vertical
and tall. This is because the manufacturers know that the radiators will
go in bathrooms and they realise that the most efficient use of the space
is in a vertical orientation. Few people want horizontal towel radiators
because they simply don’t have the benefits the vertical ones have.
Next to French Doors or Back Doors
People will often install tall radiators on either side of French doors,
or to one side of a back door. This is because it helps to heat the cold air
as it comes in through the window – even with triple glazing, the glaze
is cold.
By placing a vertical radiator next to the door, it helps to keep the room
warmer and means that there are no cold patches near the
windows/doors, which tends to happen with rooms that have their
radiators on non-window/non-door walls.
