If you have ever completed any DIY jobs at home before, the chances are you might have gone to a Wickes store to help you find everything you needed.
But how about designer radiators – do they stock any of those for that crowning finishing touch? In actual fact they do, and as you are about to see they are very easy to locate on the website as well.
How do I find the website?
The Wickes website is at www.wickes.co.uk. Be sure you get the .co.uk right, as the .com address won’t automatically lead you there.
How can I reach the section containing designer radiators?
First of all, look for the section on heating, plumbing and fires which appears in the menu along the left hand side of the page. Once you have found that and clicked on it, you will see that radiators are one of the first choices you get on the next page. Click on that and wait for the next page to load.
You can then select designer radiators from all the other ones they stock. This will take you to this URL – http://www.wickes.co.uk/Radiators/Designer-Radiators/icat/rdesignrads.
Does it have a good selection of designer radiators?
Actually yes – you might be surprised at the range Wickes does. Sometimes the main DIY stores in the high street don’t stock that many of this kind of item, but Wickes is a pleasant diversion from that.
There are various different types and styles on display, including wave designs and more cubist ones. You will find plenty of different finishes as well, including stainless steel, white and usually chrome too. Even gun metal is used on occasion!
Does the site have a lot of information?
Yes certainly – the colour and measurements are clearly stated on the main results page, but there is more to come once you get to read the actual product page itself.
But you can also find out whether an item is in stock from this results page, which is good news. Wickes has designed its website so you can order direct from there as well, so if you are after something in particular and you find it, it just takes a couple of clicks to add it to your basket.
There is usually a short but neat description of the particular designer radiator you are looking at, which is presented in a bullet point format for ease of reading. You can also read what other buyers thought of the item if there are any reviews available to read; simply click on the next tab and you will see them listed there. It gives you another source of information on the particular radiator you are interested in.
Elsewhere on the site you can read some FAQs, and you might also like to have a look at the Good Ideas Leaflets. These can all be looked at on separate pages of the site, and there are some good ones on plumbing that you might find useful if you are installing radiators of any kind.
Be sure to take a look at the delivery information as well, so you know what to expect before you place your order. This appears as a selection of questions which are then all answered underneath, so you should find what you need to know here.
How easy is it to order a designer radiator online?
It is very easy indeed, as you would expect from a website like this. The ‘add to basket’ link is very brightly coloured so you can’t miss it. The quantity is always set to one but you can alter it using the buttons provided, or simply type in the number you need.
You can then carry on shopping for other designer radiators if you wish, or simply go straight to the checkout. This is a secure procedure and it is very straightforward, so you shouldn’t have any problems. You should note that if a delivery charge is applied, it won’t go on your total until you get to the later stages of the ordering process.
In conclusion
Wickes has outdone itself with this superb range of designer radiators. There are plenty of choices here that would serve well in any location and in any home.
The range changes of course over time, but whenever you visit the Wickes website you are sure to find something that is perfect for your needs. What kind of designer look are you after? They might have what you are looking for.
