Stone or traditional electric radiators - how to choose the right supplementary heater for your home?

As autumn cools down, many people start looking for an efficient supplementary heater for their home. The traditional electric radiator, usually white in colour, has long been a popular choice as an auxiliary heater. A viable alternative to this “traditional” electric radiator is the stone radiator, a safe, stylish and modern electric radiator.

Stone or traditional electric radiators - how to choose the right supplementary heater for your home?

A stone radiator is an electric heater that combines elegant design, safety, and modern technology. This heat‑storing electric radiator is energy efficient, as its substantial stone mass stores heat and releases it evenly over time. This also lowers the surface temperature of the radiator, improving safety. In addition, Mondex’s modern stone radiators are equipped with Ensto smart thermostats.

What is a stone radiator suitable for?

Mondex’s stone radiator is designed especially for homes looking for a modern electric heating solution. The stone radiator stores heat in its stone mass and releases it evenly, even after the heater has been turned off, making it an energy‑efficient electric radiator. The surface temperature of a stone radiator is lower than that of a traditional electric radiator, which makes it a safe choice for families with children and pets. A stone radiator is also an excellent option for holiday homes and cottages where indoor temperatures are not kept constantly high.

A stone radiator operates on the same principle as a traditional electric radiator and is available either with a plug-in connection or as a fixed installation. A plug-in stone radiator equipped with a pair of feet can be easily moved from room to room, providing additional heat wherever it is needed at the time.

A stone electric radiator is stylish, safe, and silent.

Thanks to a wide range of stone options, you can choose the stone for your radiator to perfectly match your interior décor – whether it’s traditional soapstone, elegant graphite, or trendy marble. With a selection of 18 different stones and 5 power classes, our range offers a suitable stone radiator for every space. A stone radiator is therefore not only an excellent supplemental heating solution for the home, but also an attractive interior design element. In addition to its beautiful appearance and lower surface temperature compared to traditional electric radiators, a stone radiator is virtually silent, further enhancing everyday comfort.

The surface temperature of a stone radiator remains low, making it a safe supplemental heating solution for a wide range of homes.

Traditional electric radiator or modern stone radiator?

Are you having trouble deciding between a traditional electric radiator and a modern stone radiator? Here are a few reasons to choose a stone radiator for heating!

+ Energy efficient and heat‑storing: A stone radiator stores heat and releases it slowly, providing more even and long‑lasting warmth — even after the radiator has been switched off. 

+ Even and precise heat: A precise electronic thermostat ensures that the temperature remains exactly at the level you set. 

+ Stylish design: In addition to providing warmth, a stone radiator also serves as an interior design element. Its natural stone surface brings an elegant and modern look to the room. 

+ Safety: The stone surface does not heat up as much as metal, making a stone radiator a safer choice—especially for households with children and pets. 

+ Smart control: Mondex stone radiators are equipped with an Ensto smart thermostat featuring Bluetooth connectivity, allowing the radiators to be easily controlled via a mobile device. 

+ Wide selection: Available in 18 different stone options, 5 power classes, and two installation methods.

A modern supplemental heater for the home or a heat source for smaller hobby spaces

Although a stone radiator serves excellently as a supplemental heater in the home, it can also be used as a primary heating solution, especially in smaller spaces such as hobby rooms connected to a garage, or in holiday homes and cottages where indoor temperatures are not kept constantly high. Stone radiators are available with both plug‑in and fixed installations, and come equipped with a thermostat.  

A stone radiator is a modern electric radiator whose technology ensures efficient heating and a comfortable user experience. All Mondex stone radiators are equipped with an Ensto smart thermostat with Bluetooth remote control, allowing you to, for example, adjust the radiator’s temperature and operating times, monitor energy consumption, and set a calendar schedule, such as for holidays. All features of the smart thermostat are listed on the stone radiators' product page.  

A stone radiator is an excellent choice for those who value energy efficiency, safety, stylish design, and ease of use above all else. Whether you are looking for a plug‑in electric radiator for your garage or a supplemental heater for your home during the winter months, a stone radiator offers the perfect solution for your needs. 

Example calculations for required heating power:

10 m² bedroom with a ceiling height of 2.5 m 800 W*
20 m² living room with a ceiling height of 2.5 m 1200 W*
35 m² living room with a ceiling height of 2.5 m + 1200 W*

* Calculations are based on the assumption that the building has good thermal insulation (25 W/m³). If the wall material is, for example, uninsulated log timber, the required heating power is approximately 50 W/m³.
