<p>
As the radiators are hand assembled, all dimensions are approximate. We therefore advise that pipework should only be put in place once the radiator has been delivered.
</p>
<p>
<b>Bush Ends</b><br>
All bush ends/caps will only be hand tight to allow customers to interchange if on a gravity fed heating system & will need fitting correctly when installed with PTFE etc.
</p>
<p>
<b>Accessories & Bleed Valves</b><br>
All Fittings (Valves, Wall stays, Shrouds etc) ordered will be placed in a box located on top of the top radiator. Air Vents/bleed valves will be inside this box, within a SEALED ORANGE BAG stating 'Bleed Valves Enclosed', and stapled to the yellow A3 sheet with our Fitting Instructions. You MUST check it's content upon delivery & report any missing items immediately.

<p>
We are confident that all products we sell are not only excellent quality, but that our cast iron radiator prices are the most competitive.

<p><strong>Ownership of Goods</strong> - All goods shall remain the
property of the Company until paid for in full. No financial offset
against the value of goods supplied is permitted for whatever reason
without the written agreement of the Company.</p>
<p><strong>Dimensions AND Radiator Casting Finishes</strong> - All our traditional radiators are
individually hand cast and assembled, thus total lengths/widths
of the radiators can vary slightly. We strongly advise that you
position your radiators before installing your pipe work. The Company
will not be liable for any damage or losses incurred by the purchaser
or their representatives for installation of pipe work prior to
the goods being placed in situ. Radiators will be supplied bushed
with ½” bottom pipe bushes.</p>
<p>Also, we purposely source our radiators that are not completely smooth, but with acceptable casting characteristics & blemishes to give an authentic aged look.</p>
<p>The dimensions of all other items on this website are given in good
faith & are accurate to the best of our knowledge. As with all
hand finished products, there will be slight variations in dimensions
& colours to our products & the Company will not be held
liable for slight variations to dimensions quoted. Details of sizes,
dimensions and colours will be given on the relevant product information
pages, as provided by our manufacturers. All our descriptions &
photos are provided to assist our customers. Sometimes there may
be slight variations in colours in the photos provided due to customer’s
monitors & web browsers in use. We will always endeavour to
ensure that our descriptions & photos are up to date & as
accurate as possible.</p>
<p><strong>Maximum Assembly Size</strong> - All our sectional radiators are pre-assembled to
a restricted size due to haulage and manoeuvrability considerations. For
traditional 4 column radiators this will be 23 sections; however, for
patterned ornate and radiators, this will be between 12-16 sections depending
on style & heights. <b>Any radiators supplied in parts and not as a complete unit to be partially assembled on site will NOT be covered under our standard warranty outlined below.</b></p>
<p><strong>Painting & Finishes</strong> – Our radiators
will be supplied in a cellulose based black primer as coating, ready to be painted or one of our top coat finishes if selected & and paid for.
We recommend that primed radiators are painted with
an appropriate top coat (2-3 coats will suffice). For painted goods,
the Company gives no guarantee that the colour will accord precisely
with the advertised colour. Please note that colours
presented online will vary between different computers and monitors
and that printed colours may vary slightly from the actual paint
colour and are representative only. Top coated colours will 'dull down' over time through use & heat.</p>
<p><strong>Powder Coating</strong> – We recommend that our radiators
are not powder coated in order to ensure protection of all gaskets/seals. If radiators are powder coated post sale, this will invalidate any guarantee offered.</p>
<p><strong>Right of Substitution</strong> - The Company reserves the right to substitute
equivalent goods should it deem necessary. All specifications are
approximate and the Company shall have no liability in respect of
reasonable deviations from those specifications. It also reserves
the right to vary the specification of supplied goods and all goods
are sold subject to the prices and terms and conditions ruling at
the time of delivery. </p>
<h3><a id="sales"></a>Sales</h3>
<p><strong>Invoice</strong> - It is the responsibility
of the Purchaser to check the invoice and ensure that all details
on the invoice are correct. The Company will not be held liable
for any details that are incorrect if they have not been brought
to the attention of the Company prior to the dispatch of goods.</p>
<p><strong>Payment </strong>- Payment for goods is in full in advance of delivery unless with the prior agreement of the Company in writing. If an agreement is in place, payment must be made within the agreed timescale, failure to make payment within the agreed timeframe may lead to cancellation of the agreement.

<p><strong>Shipping/Pallet Conditions of Service</strong></p>
<p><b>Radiators - </b>Unless collected, radiator orders will be shipped by our delivery partner <b>Mobile People Powered Logistics Ltd (Mobile PPL) using a max 7.5t curtain side lorry with tail lift.</b> You will be notified of despatch via email and SMS text using the details you have provided at checkout and delivery is booked an a standard 2 working day service (weekday and all day slot) unless requested otherwise. (see further details below) </p> <p>
Please read <b>Delivery Details</b> page under the 'Help' tab at the top of the page. Please note that some remote areas will require an extended delivery lead time of up to approx 7 - 10 working days following despatch. </p><p>
<b>ALL pallet services are to kerb side only</b> and Mobile PPL are not able to accept �part� receipt of deliveries and returns without prior arrangement and notification directly with Cast Iron radiator Centre.</p><p>
Mobile PPL and all Partner Depots, remain responsible for the safe arrival of your goods to the kerbside and we work together to ensure that all deliveries are carried out in appropriate manner. In the unfortunate event that there are notable damages to the pallet, please call Mobile PPL directly on <b>0121 624 8181</b> and they will handle any issues and are able to initiate the claim�s process for any damaged goods.<p>
<b><i>Please be aware that in the unfortunate instance where damage has occurred to your property, please contact Mobile PPL on <b>0121 624 8181</b> directly. The Cast Iron Radiator Company is not directly responsible in any way, nor in a position to intervene or reimburse you for any subsequent losses. </b></i></p><p>
Any claim to your property or surroundings is classed as a Public Liability Claim and will be managed by Mobile PPL. There may be instances when you are asked to communicate directly with the local delivery partner that was responsible for this incident. This is in order that Mobile PPL are able to process any claim for damages accordingly. </p>
<ul><li><p> Upon delivery, it is the customers responsibility to inspect the packaging and raise any concerns, where possible, at the time of delivery. The driver will be able to make notes and will ask you to sign to say you have received your goods. This is referred to as the �POD/Proof of Delivery� the driver carries an electronic device to capture photographic evidence of the condition of the goods and make relevant notes at point of delivery. It may also be useful, if you are able to capture photographic evidence on a personal mobile device, for your own personal reassurance, in the event of any subsequent claim.
Failure to do so will result is the Cast Iron Radiator Centre being unable to assist further without the necessary proof or information supplied.</p>
</li><li><p><b>We must stress that a Pallet Delivery Service is always, kerbside only</b>. The haulage company is under no obligation to remove items from the pallet and the drivers are not insured to assist you with any aspect of moving the goods from the kerbside. This is to remove any potential risk of personal injury or damage to your goods, or your property. We remind you that it is not in your interest to encourage a driver to assist you in any way that falls outside of his responsibility. If, in the event the driver does agree to assist you, we assume you accept full responsibility for any subsequent damage to any person, or property and by doing so you will void any right to make a subsequent Insurance claim.</p><p>
The Purchaser <b>must</b> warn the Company if there is restricted access,
soft or gravelled driveways. The minimum size vehicle used for pallet deliveries is a 7.5t lorry, but some orders are delivered using 18t lorries. <b>Please ensure you request in the message box at checkout, if you require a 7.5t lorry for access</b> </p></li>
<li><p>Please ensure you have required manpower to move the delivery to a safe area. Should the Company not be notified
in advance of any restrictions in delivery access, or should the
Purchaser or their representatives not be present to sign for the
goods, the Company reserves the right to charge a re-delivery fee
should re-delivery be necessary. Upgraded services e.g. Next Day delivery, timed delivery slots, A.M. or P.M. & Saturday deliveries, if available by your local depot, can be arranged for an additional charge to be paid direct to Mobile PPL upon request. This will still be a <b>kerb side only or nearest hard standing,</b> service.</p></li>
<li><p>Cast iron radiators are very heavy; your radiators will be delivered
to kerb side on a pallet;
therefore, please ensure that either sufficient manpower or lifting gear is
available. Please read <b>Handling Cast Iron Radiators</b> guide under the <b.Help,/b> tab at the top of the page for further advice.</p></li>
<li><p>Small items will be shipped either by courier or Royal
Mail delivery. </p></li></ul>
<p>The Company will not be held responsible for any failure of the
courier or Royal Mail to deliver within the specified period.</p>
<p>The Purchaser <b>must provide a valid contact telephone number with voicemail</b> for all
delivery methods to be booked.</p>
<p><strong>Acceptance of Deliveries - </strong>Please ensure that goods are unpacked when they are delivered and check them against the delivery note/receipt. Any damage/shortfalls <b>must be reported to us immediately</b> & noted on delivery documentation. The Company cannot be held responsible for any damage or shortfalls occurring after delivery if not reported immediately.</p>
<p><strong>Back Orders - </strong>Should any item requested by the
Purchaser be on back order, the Company will endeavour to supply
such goods as soon as possible; however, the Company will not be
responsible for any delays in the delivery of goods or services,
nor for any damages or loss caused to the Purchaser or other party
as a consequence of this delay.</p>
<p><strong>Force Majeure - </strong> No responsibility can be accepted
by the Company for any failure or delay in performance which is
wholly or partially due to an Act of God, War, Fire, Explosion,
Riot, Civil Commotion, Restriction by Government or other competent
authority, Strikes, Lock Outs, Failure in Supplies, or to any cause
whatsoever beyond its control.

<!--END OF LATEST NEWS-->
<h4><strong>Cast iron radiators vs. modern steel radiators</strong></h4>
<p>
A common question we get when we speak to our customers is �are cast iron radiators more efficient than modern radiators?�.
</p>
<p>
Well, in short yes, and for various reasons.
</p>
<p>
Modern steel radiators may heat up slightly quicker, but they tend to create a sudden burst of heat, whereas our radiators will heat your room over a slightly longer period to ensure your desired ambient temperature does not fluctuate up and down greatly.
</p>
<p>
As cast iron radiators have a slightly higher carbon content (usually 2.5% to 4.0% content) compared to modern steel radiators (approx. 0.02% to 2.1%), means that our radiators will be able to retain their heat much better than steel over a longer period.
</p>
<p>
This has the benefit that our <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a> will continue to conduct heat for longer after your boiler has been turned off compared to modern steel radiators, making them more energy efficient and cheaper to run!
</p>
<p>
Another positive is that there is also the possibility if all (or majority) of radiators on your system were cast iron, the water returning to your boiler from these radiators will be warmer compared to that from steel radiators. This potentially will mean less energy is required to reheat the water to the required temperature before recirculating around your heating system increasing the efficiency for your system as a whole.
</p>
<p>
<strong>And finally… In our humble opinion, <a href="/">our cast iron radiators</a> just simply look better!</strong>
</p>
<p>

<h4><strong>March 2022 update...</strong></h4>
<p>
We hope that all our customers, both new and returning, are well and are able to start to put the events of the pandemic behind them slowly.
</p>
<p>
These past few years have been challenging for everyone of all ages, walks of life, personally and in business.
</p>
<p>
We have seen that it has brought the best out of people at times by showing their adaptability and determination to carry on, but as a business, it has also brought its own challenges with major disruption to our supplies at times (not now though!) and general price increases across ALL aspects of our business.
</p>
<p>
With this in mind and after long deliberations we will reluctantly have to increase our pallet delivery charges nominally by �10 with effect from 1<sup>st</sup> March 2022.
</p>
<p>
This nominal increase will be the first rise in what we charge for our nationwide pallet service in over 7 years so we believe that, although it is not what our customers want to hear, it will mean that the delivery service we offer will continue to offer the best customer service and customer notifications available. We know cheaper alternative delivery companies are available, however, our experience over the past 17 years means we don�t and won�t accept a compromise in the quality of what we offer our customers and that includes our delivery service.
</p>
<p>
Please remember that our lead times remain just 5-7 working days to despatch, this combined with the best prices for our radiators online still does mean we do offer the best value and customer service.

<h4><strong>Lead Times just 5 - 7 working days!</strong></h4>
<p>
In our 2<sup>nd</sup> week back since the Christmas break, we hope that you managed to enjoy your break and managed to stay healthy despite the ongoing Covid issues!
</p>
<p>
Here at the Cast Iron Radiator Centre, we have been working extremely hard and have managed to get our lead time down to <strong>just 5 � 7 working days</strong> from order placed to despatch.
</p>
<p>
This incredible feat has been achieved by our strategy and production teams continuing to make great improvements in our ordering and production processes and still ensuring our customers get the best quality products in the shortest time possible.
</p>
<p>
Any changes in the lead times will be automatically adjusted by our website, so even if it changes, you will know before you order when we will be despatching your order regardless so you can book your heating engineer.

<h4><strong>Lifestyle images on our Instagram account - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/castironradiatorcentre">@castironradiatorcentre</a></strong></h4>
<p>
Here at CIRC we are often asked for help from our customers on styles and finishes etc. when choosing their new Cast Iron Radiators and accessories.
</p>
<p>
We know that all projects, big and small, have their own idiosyncrasies, but one question we get asked more than most is if we have a picture of a specific style and size radiator in one of the colours we offer. Obviously, we can�t supply images in every style, colour and size combination on the website as the number of images required would be too large, and may hinder the easy online ordering process we have developed for you.
</p>
<p>
However, this is where our Instagram account and in particular the tagged pictures - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/castironradiatorcentre/tagged">@castironradiatorcentre</a> comes into its own.
</p>
<p>
We have kindly been tagged into 1000s of pictures by our customers, not only showing off their hard work and project�s progress, but also our beautiful radiators and accessories in situ.
</p>
<p>
These images are a wonderful way to see our radiators and accessories in various lifestyle situations, but just as important, they also offer a fantastic opportunity to get inspiration for your own projects, not just around radiators, but all sorts of design ideas which can save you time hopefully!
</p>
<p>
We are followed by some great informative accounts, who not only showcase our products because they want to, but offer up tips on how they approach DIY tasks, design rooms and space or simply just like what we have supplied.
</p>
<p>
Please take a look for yourself and if you see something or read something you that helps you, like and comment to let the account know and share it! It's how the social community continues to move forward and help others.

<h4><strong>August 2021 update...</strong></h4>
<p>
As things start to unlock in the UK and restrictions ease, we are seeing some green shoots of hope that things are trying to get back to some sort of normality.
</p>
<p>
This may be the case with many service sectors and we are seeing great demand for our products across the board, but at present, freight and in particular UK haulage is still facing extremely challenging times all of which is being well documented in the news.
</p>
<p>
These challenges have a knock-on effect for all sorts of business and ours is not immune.
</p>
<p>
We have been informed this morning by our pallet delivery partner (Mobile PPL) that there is a temporary service suspension to the BH, SP and PO (Mainland only, PO1 to PO22) postcode areas through the Pallet Network. This will cause some delays to deliveries in this area for a short period, but is being reviewed regularly until normal service is resumed.
</p>
<p>
Pallet Track is the final network to suspend any services to any area in the country. Unfortunately, the situation in the above postcodes has reached a point whereby the depots that deliver in these postcodes are unable to take in any more freight until they have cleared their backlogs. This situation has been caused by growth in domestic holidaying and increased requirements at southern ports.
</p>
<p>
Due to international and UK freight and haulage in a state of flux and the issues being beyond our control, we are sorry if you are affected in any way by this or other glitches, but are happy to update you if you email us via the website.

<p class="newstitle"><strong>Price rise from Monday 14<sup>th</sup> June 2021</strong></p>
<p>
Dear Customer (both old and new),
</p>
<p>
Here at CIRC, we pride ourselves on being the best value in the market for our <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a> whilst at the same time exceeding our customers� expectations for quality and customer service.
</p>
<p>
As you will already be aware from various media reports over the past several months, our industry, like many others, has seen significant increases in costs, due to a combination of the impact of Covid, international and domestic freight and the supply of raw materials. This has led to a substantial increase in our costs!
</p>
<p>
Since August 2017, (the last time we had an across-the-board price rise for our cast iron radiators) we have absorbed all cost increases, but we now have to address this in order to maintain the high levels of service across our whole business whilst being transparent with you.
</p>
<p>
<b>However, DON�T PANIC!</b>
</p>
<p>
Although our prices for our cast iron radiators will need to increase, the rise will be very modest.
</p>
<p>
Importantly, it will still ensure we continue to offer you the <b>best prices online</b> for both primed and top coated radiators.
</p>
<p>
At present, our <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves">valves</a> and <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares">accessories</a> will not be affected.
</p>
<p>
We are all hoping that the volatility we have seen over the past year will slowly ease and that life starts to get back to some sort of normality and prices begin to stabilise.
</p>
<p>
We will continue to review the prices offered regularly as we recognise our commitment to offer the best prices to our new and existing customers.
</p>
<p>
The new prices will come into effect from Monday 14<sup>th</sup> June 2021.
</p>
<p>
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

<p class="newstitle"><strong>New live lead time feature now showing on website!</strong></p>
<p>
In order to be able to give all our customers for our bespoke <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a>, we have introduced a new feature on our website, the Live Lead Time to Despatch feed.
</p>
<p>
This now means that instead of being given a guestimate of how long your order will take to despatch like other websites and then being let down at the last minute, what you see on our website is what you can expect.
</p>
<p>
To be able to produce the same quality of traditional radiators, the volume of orders we receive will dictate the despatch lead time which will be shown when you are on our site.
</p>
<p>
Please remember, unlike the majority of companies selling cast iron radiators who act as middle men and just sell on others products, we control the whole process and build, pressure test, paint and despatch all our radiators to order from our own factory.
</p>
<p>
We are sure our new feature will help you plan your project and provide better certainty for your delivery.

Due to ongoing congestion at ALL UK ports as the result of the COVID-19 lag in container orders in the autumn/winter of last year and continued social distancing restrictions, unfortunately, in the short term, some of our lead times are having to be increased slightly to take into account the time it is taking to receive our stock.
</p>
<p>
It�s not all doom and gloom as we are advised by our various freight agents that there is some light at the end of the tunnel in terms of flow through our ports improving over the coming months.
</p>
<p>
However, in the meantime, until normal operations return to the ports, we will endeavour to complete all orders as soon as we can and keep you updated with any changes. So please try to plan when you need to place your order so that our lead times are in line with your project schedules.

<p>
As this year moves forward and a little bit of normality has returned, but still with a degree of uncertainty, here at the Cast Iron Radiator Centre, we have continued to operate within the safety framework and advice available.
</p>
<p>
However, although a little delayed (4 frustrating months actually!!), the commitment and investment into our business has never been more prominent and we are pleased to announce that after months of planning, sheer hard work and determination, <strong>we will be moving to our new bespoke HQ at the end of September.</strong>
</p>
<p>
Our new HQ is double the size of our previous premises and since acquisition, has been stripped back, re-designed and completely fitted out from scratch to offer the bespoke elements required across all areas of our business from production to administration.
</p>
<p>
<a href="products.asp?page=news">
<img class="img-responsive" src="images/news/cast-iron-radiator-centre-new-bespoke-HQ.jpg" alt="Cast Iron Radiator Centre's new bespoke HQ">

</p>
<p>
These include three brand new professional spray booths supplied by Reeve Spray Booths, the trebling of our pressure testing facility, a brand new Demag crane for lifting, a bespoke area for the team who assembly every radiator to order and state of the art administration and communications.
</p>
<p>
Due to the move, we will extend the current lead time slightly for a short period, but will revert this back as soon as production starts and the move has been completed which should take a few days.
</p>
<p>
Since March, some of our staff have been on furlough in order for us to operate safely and maintain social distancing, we have operated a quota system heavily restricting orders taken on a daily basis. Once the move is complete we will increase our production significantly to meet customer demand ongoing for our <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a>.
</p>
<p>
Finally, we want to thank all our customers for their patience over the last 5-6 months, the wonderful companies who have continued to supply us and trades who have enabled us to prepare our new HQ during the restrictions, who have all gone �above and beyond� to get us to this exciting point!

<p class="newstitle"><strong>A BIG THANK YOU to all our customers...</strong></p>
<p>
Although there has been a relaxing with lock down guidelines over recent weeks, we continue to ensure that the safety of our staff remains our priority when at work.
</p>
<p>
At present, the majority of our staff remained furloughed as we cannot safely accommodate all back at work without compromising social distancing.
</p>
<p>
Several weeks ago, we started to increase our production slightly with the limited staff in available and began a daily sales quota system to control orders. This enabled us to increase the number of radiators we sell whilst at the same time continuing to offer excellent quality and lead times and most importantly, maintaining workplace safety for all.
</p>
<p>
We appreciate that demand continues to increase day by day and really welcome your patience when placing orders in view of the quota restrictions in place.
</p>
<p>
We know that this will be frustrating at times and it is not something we wish to continue with for the foreseeable future.
</p>
<p>
We are working towards increasing our daily quota numbers and thus to accommodate more customers with the main goal of getting back to full production as soon as we can safely.
</p>
<p>
We want to say a big thank you to you all for your continued interest and support and most of all your patience during these current times.
</p>
<p>
Kind regards,<br>
The Cast Iron Radiator Centre

<p class="text-primary">
<strong>WE ARE OPEN AND TAKING ORDERS ONLINE AS NORMAL!</strong>
</p>
<p>
Amidst these unusual times, here at <a href="/">The Cast Iron Radiator Centre</a>, we feel it is very important to keep connected to our customers and provide support wherever we can.
</p>
<p>
The government outlined this week that every effort should be made across society to minimise social contact for a further three weeks in order to slow the spread of the virus.
</p>
<p>
As a company we continue to adopt this policy and this means we continue to have a slightly reduced production capacity so you may find normal services may take a little more time.
</p>
<p>
As we enter another week, our office staff continue working from home, and those producing your orders are keeping to the social distancing rules and following strict hygiene routines. The health and well-being of our families, colleagues, customers and the wider community is paramount to us, as ever.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
<span class="text-primary">WE ARE ANSWERING ALL EMAILS!</span> Therefore, we would like to remind you to email via the website and we will respond promptly to your request.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
As we are unable to take direct calls at present, we will use the answer phone to support this message.
</p>
<p>
Through all of this, we can assure you we remain focused on ensuring you will receive a quality product with the same unrivalled service, whenever you need it.

Stay safe and keep in touch!

<p class="newstitle"><strong>Coronavirus update!</strong></p>
<p class="text-primary">
<strong>An Update of Ordering and Production</strong>
</p>
<p>
We have now fully re-assessed our working practices and in order to meet current guidelines on safe working and social distancing.
</p>
<p>
Therefore, our production facility where we build, pressure test, paint and despatch all our cast iron radiators will start to operate from <strong>Monday 6<sup>th</sup> April</strong>, but with a smaller number of staff and with increased safety measures in place for them.
</p>
<p>
Due to the measures that we have prioritised, lead times will need to be increased slightly to up to 7-10 working days to despatch, but we will always endeavour to complete them sooner if we can.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Also, the numbers of orders we will take per day in order to continue to work safely will be restricted.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Therefore, there may be times when you cannot place an order online on that particular day and therefore, you can and should try to place your order the following day.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
We know that this is not ideal, but safety of our staff is paramount and these measures will ensure this whilst at the same time allowing us to service as many customers as possible during this time.
Lastly, due to base material supplies being disrupted, we cannot currently offer the Linen White paint option in the short term and will re-introduce this as soon as we can.
</p>
<p class="text-primary">
<strong>Deliveries & Collections</strong>
</p>
<p>
We are still delivering radiators to the kerb by pallet as normal through our delivery partner Mobile PPL.
Smaller items are still being delivered as usual thanks to our parcel delivery partner DPD and these will be despatched by us twice weekly on a Tuesday and Thursday on a next day service.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
ALL collections will now need to be arranged for when we re-open to the public, or we can arrange deliveries. Please email us if you would like us to arrange this.
</strong>
</p>
<p class="text-primary">
<strong>Returns</strong>
</p>
<p>
We understand that you might not be able to return goods to us in the usual time frames during this period. This is fine and it may be better to hold back and send your returns when our offices are open fully again and we can receive them.
</p>
<p>
We do appreciate that these are unprecedented times for all and we appreciate your continued understanding and support.

<p class="newstitle"><strong>Production update!</strong></p>
<p>
Further to our last update regarding the corona virus, we have taken the decision to <strong>suspend taking further orders for Cast Iron Radiators</strong> temporarily and concentrate on completing all existing orders we are committed to.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
We will still offer our radiator valves, wall stays and other accessories for sale and will despatch any orders for these via DPD on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
This decision will be reviewed on a regular basis and updated as the current situation develops.
</p>
<p>
As our couriers and logistics partners come under increased pressure in terms of staffing, there may well be slight delays in getting existing orders delivered to you.
</p>
<p>
We have not taken this decision lightly, but it is one made with the well-being and safety of our employees in mind as well as in the best interests of our customers and suppliers in order to maintain safe social distancing as advised by the Government and Public Health England guidance.
</p>
<p>
Going forward, we will man our offices on a skeleton staff basis over the coming weeks and until further notice to answer emails and enquiries as quickly as possible.
</p>
<p>
These are uncertain times that we have not seen before, however, we are committed to ensuring the health and safety of our staff and make sure that our business is ready to serve new and existing customers when we are able to operate to full capacity when able to do so.
</p>
<p>
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding and continued support.

<p class="newstitle"><strong>Production update!</strong></p>
<p>
With the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation changing daily, we believe it�s important to be transparent about how <strong>The Cast Iron Radiator Centre (CIRC)</strong> is responding to the outbreak. Our philosophy as a business is to approach this situation with empathy and urgency; CIRC�s top priority is the health and safety of our employees and other communities we have contact with including our customers, suppliers etc.
</p>
<p>
Given how rapidly the outbreak is evolving, we expect our approach to be re-assessed constantly to ensure the health and safety and the wellbeing of our employees and customers is maintained, whilst at the same time keeping any disruptions to a minimum.
</p>
<p>
Although we hold good stocks of cast iron radiator sections themselves in order to meet customer demand, as with any business, we also rely on various suppliers for ancillary supplies and services (e.g. packaging, paint, disposables, haulage, courier service etc) to meet our ongoing needs, which, although not currently affected, the supply of which may well be disrupted for short periods, due to supply chains/services being disrupted for reasons beyond our control.
</p>
<p>
If, due to the coronavirus, production is affected, we will inform our customers immediately, via our website and email where possible.
</p>
<p><strong>
HOWEVER, that�s enough gloom and doom! On a much more positive note, we continue to be busier than ever, we are still meeting our 5-7 working day lead time to despatch and we are currently operating at normal capacity and meeting all current deadlines for available <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a>, <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves">valves</a> and <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares">accessories</a>.

As we have mentioned before, we will always endeavour to beat our lead times or look to reduce them, but please don�t wait to the last minute to order, speak to your builder or plumber to gauge when they will want the delivery in order that we can arrange delivery in plenty of time and meet your deadlines.

I then took a break from interiors and styling and went on to Study Occupational Therapy and for the last 13 years I have been a CBT Therapist in Secondary Mental Health Services.
I�ve always been creative, lover of colour, pattern and design and all the finer details. These are so important it can either make or break a design project. I am always one step ahead planning my next project whether that be a revamp or a total renovation. Eventually I want to leave my main job in the NHS and pursue a career in design.

<p class="newstitle"><strong>Guaranteed Christmas delivery dates!</strong></p>
<p>
The Christmas rush is well and truly amongst us now. However, despite the record sales again this year for our <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a>, the time and effort we have all put in here at The Cast Iron Radiator Centre at the beginning of the year in terms of better production/ordering systems along with improved resources, mean that our lead times remain at just 7-10 FULL working days from when order placed to despatch. That's nearly a whole week quicker than this time last year!
</p>
<p>
This combined with our quicker (standard 2 day) delivery service means that we are able to get more of your orders despatched than ever before and we mustn�t forget our great production team, who work tirelessly, to meet every deadline without compromising on great quality.
As always though, during the busiest times, there may be the very occasional time when we need to extend the lead times in order to meet both demand and ensure our quality standards don�t fall.
</p>
<p>
Therefore, please use the following dates to assist you (and us!) when placing your orders with us to guarantee your pre-Christmas deliveries.
</p>
<p>
<strong>For Radiator Orders.</strong> To ensure that you receive your <strong>radiator order</strong> before Christmas, the last date for ordering is <strong>Friday 30th November 2018</strong>.
</p>
<p>
<strong>For Parcel Deliveries.</strong> To ensure that you receive your <strong>parcel order</strong> before Christmas, the last date for ordering is <strong>Wednesday 19th December 2018</strong>.
</p>
<p>
So, if your project is still going ahead between Christmas and the New Year, you will need to organise your delivery for before we break up for the festivities as there will be no deliveries during this period.

<p class="newstitle"><strong>Record month for traditional radiator sales</strong></p>
<p>
After yet another record month for sales during September and as anticipated, we have had to slightly increase our <strong>lead time</strong> from when the order is placed to despatch/collection date to <strong>7-10 FULL working days</strong>.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Please remember that these are our anticipated lead times and may need to be revised periodically without notice, but we will always do our utmost not to if we can.

</p>
<p>
From our experience, we know the lead times will extend slightly as the late rush starts with customers wanting our <a href="/">traditional cast iron radiators</a> in time to keep them warm in the run up to Christmas, so please order as soon as you can so that you are not disappointed!

<p class="newstitle"><strong>The cold weather = more orders!</strong></p>
<p>
After such a wonderfully long and warm summer, it appears that the best of the weather is becoming increasingly in short supply.
</p>
<p>
At this time every year, for many, this is a reminder to get their heating systems checked and also look to replacing their radiators with our cast iron radiators in readiness for Christmas.
</p>
<p>
Subsequently, our order books are filling up fast and as such our current lead time is now increasing slightly to <strong>approximately 7-9 full working days to despatch or collection</strong>.
</p>
<p>
There a little good news though. Our new transport partner, Mobile PPL, offers our customers a standard delivery of just 2 working days normally, instead of the usual 3-5 working days offered by many other carriers. In addition, once your order has been despatched, Mobile also offer to upgrade the delivery service if required for a nominal fee paid direct to them. This extra flexibility is proving a real hit with our customers.
</p>
<p>
In order to not be disappointed, please speak to your plumber/builder (not always possible we know!) as soon as possible to try and plan when you need your radiators so that we can assist in getting them ready for you in good time.
</p>
<p>
We will, of course, endeavour to keep these lead times as short as possible for as long as possible, but to ensure that we don�t compromise the quality in producing your <a href="/">fabulous traditional radiators</a> remains our highest priority, our lead times may need to be revised.
</p>
<p>
Make sure you keep an eye on this news feed so that we can keep you up to date.

<p>
We are delighted to offer the brand new <a href="products.asp?search=warwick+thermostatic">Warwick TRV Thermostatic Cast Iron Radiator Valves</a> on our website.
</p>
<p>
Having listened to our customers who wanted a larger valve with a solid wood wheel head, but not at extortionate prices, we have managed to source this new style in the popular <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-WARKTRV-ANTBR&name=warwick-antique-brass-thermostatic-radiator-valve-set">Antique Brass</a>, <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-WARKTRV-BLKNI&name=warwick-black-nickel-thermostatic-radiator-valve-set">Black Nickel</a> & <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-WARKTRV-SATNI&name=warwick-satin-nickel-thermostatic-radiator-valve-set">Satin Nickel</a> finishes.

<p>
<a href="products.asp?search=warwick+thermostatic">
<img class="img-responsive" src="images/news/warwick-valves.jpg" alt="warwick valves">
</a>
</p>
<p>
Their style really adds that finishing touch when matched with our traditional cast iron radiators.
</p>
<p>
These are similar to the Bentley range, but differ in a few subtle, but significant ways.
</p>
<p>
Namely they are a lot heavier at 1.1kg a pair, they will fully shut off when the wheel head is fully wound in, so not requiring a decorator�s cap and the actual wheel head is made from solid wood.
</p>
<p>
They all come with a 2 year warranty as standard.
</p>
<p>
These additions broaden our range of excellent value cast iron radiator valves, whilst at the same time complementing the choice we now offer.
</p>
<p>
We are sure you are going to love them!

Now that we have all started to see temperatures rising and even a few days of sunshine, you would think that the last thing people are thinking about is their heating.
</p>
<p>
Not here at <strong>The Cast Iron Radiator Centre</strong>! Our order books remain strong for our <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a> and we continue to be extremely busy getting our customers' traditional cast iron radiators orders ready. This picture just shows some of our cast radiators which are curing waiting to be wrapped and despatched today, with lots more to follow.

<p>
However, those in the know realise that the summertime is the best time to look to change or update your radiators. Why? Well obviously, whilst the milder weather is with us, the need to use your heating is reduced dramatically, so if you need to be without it for a day or even a few days, it�s all manageable and you won�t get too chilly!
</p>
<p>
If you wait to the autumn or winter months, then even a day sometimes without heating can make a dramatic difference to not only keeping your home cosy, but also your general mood. There�s no real fun in being cold inside now is there?
</p>
<p>
We know that some of you won�t have a choice as the work to be done will be dictated by the overall timings of your project or just simply finances, but if you can, start planning now to get the work done. You might even find it easier to book a plumber than if you try in the depths of November or December, though they always appear busy when you call we know.

We are often asked for extra-long radiators to fit existing pipe work or to look in proportion to a space under a window for example.

All are well worth a visit if you get the chance.

<p>
On such a dismal damp October day, true to form, our radiators allowed many (including myself) to warm themselves in great surroundings before heading off again on their travels.

<p>
It was a little difficult to get great photos of the cast iron radiators as customers seemed a little reluctant to stand away from their cosy seats next to them.

<p>
As the cold weather starts to take hold and our order volumes steadily increase for our traditional radiators, we have adjusted our lead time from when your orders are placed to when they will be ready for despatch or collection to <strong>10-12 full working days</strong>.

Over the last few weeks we have all noticed the temperatures dropping slightly, the increasing number of cooler evenings and the misty mornings. For many, this is a reminder to get their heating systems checked and also look to replacing their radiators with our cast iron radiators in readiness for Christmas.
</p>
<p>
Subsequently, we have seen record orders for September already and as previously mentioned the pressure on keeping our current lead times in place has increased in order to meet this unprecedented demand. Therefore, the current lead time from when you place your order for our cast radiators now to when it will be ready for despatch or collection is <strong>anticipated to be 7-10 full working days</strong>.

<p>
In order to not be disappointed, please speak to your plumber/builder (not always possible we know!) as soon as possible to try and plan when you need your radiators so that we can assist in getting them ready for you in good time.
</p>
<p>
We will, of course, endeavour to keep this lead time intact for as long as possible, but to ensure that we don�t compromise the quality in producing your <strong>fabulous traditional radiators</strong> remains our highest priority, our lead times may need to be revised.

For all other queries, please email us on {STORE_EMAIL} quoting your order num.\. @�2 Page Content FAQ . <h2>Some of the questions we are commonly asked</h2>
<h3>How do I know what size of radiator I require for my room?</h3>
<p>
Calculations for room heat requirements can be quite difficult; however we have a programme which can work out what your requirements are in British Thermal Units (BTU) or Kilowatts (kW). Once you have worked out what heat outputs you require, please look at our styles and sizes to match which radiators are the most compatible or let us have your requirements to quote a competitive price for you. <b>If you are unsure, we would always recommend that a final check is made on this calculation by your heating installer prior to order and to ensure your current boilers capacity is sufficient for the size of radiators being ordered</b>.
</p>
<h3>Why are our longest standard radiators approx 1.43m long?</h3>
<p>
There are two main reasons why our longest radiators are approx 1.43 metres long.
Firstly, as we sell our cast iron radiators all over the UK, Eire & Mainland Europe, in order to keep shipping costs to an absolute minimum we use a bespoke sized pallet, which is 0.8m x 1.5m in size. Anything larger incurs large surcharges and delivery prices will become too expensive.
Secondly and just as important, is the actual weight of the radiator and how it is handled upon delivery. Obviously cast iron radiators are heavy and with some of our assembled cast iron radiators weighing approx 140+kg, this needs to be considered.
</p>
<h3>Are cast iron radiators more heat efficient than modern steel radiators?</h3>
<p>
Yes, although they may take a little longer to get to full operating temperature (though on any sound heating system this time should be negligible). Cast iron radiators are highly efficient, with darker colours being the most efficient conducting colour and due to the ability of cast iron to retain and spread heat evenly for much longer periods than steel, even when your heating has been switched off.
</p>
<h3>What is Delta T rating and what Delta T rating do you use for your outputs?</h3><p>
Delta T or Dt refers to the difference in temperature between the water circulating throughout your central heating system and the room temperature.</p><p> When replacing any radiators in your home it�s important that you use the correct Delta T. This is because the same radiators can have different outputs at different water temperatures due to the heat source you are using.</p>
<p>
As of 01.03.2019, all heat loss values shown on our website will be calculated to <b>Delta T50 (ΔT50°C), the current European CE standard</b>.
</p>
<p>To calculate our radiators to other Delta T outputs, please use the following table:</p>
<p>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T60 � multiply by 1.267</p>
<p>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T55 � multiply by 1.132</p>
<p><b>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T50 � multiply by 1.00</b></p>
<p>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T45 - multiply by 0.872</p>
<p>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T40 - multiply by 0.748</p>
<p>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T35 - multiply by 0.629</p>
<p>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T30 - multiply by 0.515</p>
<p>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T25 - multiply by 0.406</p>
<p>Correction factor to convert our heat loss values to Delta T20 - multiply by 0.304</p>
<h3>Can you paint my radiator?</h3>
<p>
Yes, we do offer a spray paint service for all radiators we supply you, using the colours shown on our product pages, for a modest fee in our professional spray booth. Obviously, the lighter colours such as Cream White will require more maintenance from being marked over time.
</p>
<h3>Our Radiator Castings.</h3>
<p>
All our traditional radiators are individually hand cast and assembled, thus total lengths/widths of the radiators can vary slightly. Therefore, we strongly advise that you position your radiators before installing your pipe work. The Company will not be liable for any damage or losses incurred by the purchaser or their representatives for installation of pipe work prior to the goods being placed in situ.
<b>Also, we purposely source our radiators that are not completely smooth, but with acceptable casting characteristics and blemishes to give an authentic aged look which will be highlighted more with lighter colours.</b> </p>
<h3>Can I paint my own radiators or get someone else to paint them?</h3>
<p>
Yes, you can arrange to paint your own radiators or we can deliver the radiators to a nominated paint shop of your choice if required. The primer we use is a cellulose based primer and so it is preferable to use other cellulose based paints.
<b>We do not recommend a powder coat finish as this will affect the section seal/gaskets when put in finishing oven causing your radiator to leak.</b> DO NOT USE WATER BASED PAINTS.
</p>
<h3>What size pipe work is required?</h3>
<p>
Our radiators are prepared to accept �� BSP. The diameter of the pipe work required to supply your cast iron radiators will be determined by the systems supply requirement, but all can be adapted by copper-brass converters, available from most plumber�s merchants, by your plumber.
</p>
<h3>Who can install cast iron radiators?</h3>
<p>
Our radiators should be installed by a qualified heating engineer or plumber. They are compatible with all modern pipe work systems & come with 15mm (1/2�) bushes - connections as standard.
</p>
<h3>Can I use your cast iron radiators with my existing heating system?</h3>
<p>
All of our cast iron radiators are compatible with normal central heating systems, and come complete with �� British Standard fitting connections. This means you can change as many or as few radiators as you wish.
</p>
<h3>Can I use small/micro bore (10mm) or larger (22mm) pipe work?</h3>
<p>
Our radiators can be used with existing pipe work which is either narrower (10mm) or wider (22mm / ��), <b>though we recommend using 15mm bore pipe as a minimum</b>. Copper/brass Converters or Reducer fittings are freely available at little cost to enable the radiator to be fitted to smaller (10mm) or larger (22mm) pipe work. On larger radiators (those in excess of 2000 Watts) it may prove a problem in balancing the system if using microbore (10mm) pipe. <b>Therefore, we always suggest speaking to your heating engineer or plumber to make sure your pipe work is compatible.</b>
</p>
<h3>Where should I position cast iron radiators?</h3>
<p>
This really is up to you, however, traditionally, radiators were in the coldest part of the property. This would normally be on an outside wall or under a window; however it is perfectly acceptable to position your radiator to suit your rooms� layout taking into account windows, doors etc. For larger rooms, it may be more beneficial to have more than one radiator to give an even heat spread for the whole area.
</p>
<h3>What valves should I use for my radiator?</h3>
<p>
You can use either a Thermostatic or Manual valve set. On larger radiators, or rooms where the radiators have been oversized we would normally recommend the fitting of a TRV (Thermostatic valve) although this is not essential. Our radiators are designed to accept both valves at the bottom for pressurised systems or if required for gravity fed systems, with the inlet valve fitted to the top on one side of the radiator, and the outlet (lock shield) to the bottom on the opposite side of the radiator. One point to remember is that if you are positioning a radiator in the same room/area where there is a central heating thermostat, it is recommended to use a manual control valve set, this will prevent the thermostat and TRV valve counter-acting each other.
</p>
<h3>What is the difference between a TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) and a Manual one?</h3>
<p>
A TRV controls the room temperature, by sensing the air temperature and automatically opening and closing the flow to the radiator. A manual valve can only control the temperature of the radiator regardless of the room temperature & is usually controlled via a room or general thermostat.
</p>
<h3>How are valves fitted and cast iron radiators sealed?</h3>
<p>
It is important with our cast iron radiators that no caustic plumbing compounds are used on any part of the radiator, its valves or connections (this can react with the iron, breaking down the sealing washers in both the radiator & any �O� rings in your boiler or pumps). If any compounds are used then you must return the water to Ph neutral before operating the system. All radiator joints should be dry jointed, with PTFE tape wrapped around the valve threads for tightening. We would recommend the use of a thicker gas type PTFE tape on parallel threaded valves.
</p>
<h3>I see that many of your TRV valves offer a 'Frost Protection'. What does this mean?</h3>
<p>
'Frost Protection' valves offer exactly that, protection for your heating system from the effects of frost. Most of our TRV (thermostatic) cast iron radiator valves offer this and will therefore, continue to work when in the fully turned off position. This is to ensure that if, you are away and your have turned all your valves to the fully wound in - Off position and the temperature drops to the levels above, the valves will automatically open to help prevent the heating system from freezing and causing damage. Obviously, your heating needs to be on and operating for this to work. In view of this protection, please remember that the valves may not fully shut off when in the fully wound in - Off position, so installing an inexpensive in-line isoltaion valve may be helpful when plumbing in your radiators. <b>We also offer decorators caps under the Accesories & Spares tab above for the Bentley Range to fully shut off these valves.</b>
</p>
<h3>Is it safe to use Inhibitors or other plumbing compounds?</h3>
<p>
It is very important that the Ph of your heating syatem is maintained between 7-8.5 at all times to prevent gaskets breakdown in valves or radiators. Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty. Ph neutral inhibitors are fine to use & MUST BE USED to the correct dosing levels, but NO caustic/corrosive/acidic plumbing compounds or liquids are to be used on or in any part of our radiators, our valves or connections and that if aggressive flushing agents are used, the water in the system MUST BE immediately neutralised correctly following their use appropriate crystals or similar and certificated as such. Where caustic and/or corrosive compounds (liquid or other) have been introduced into the radiator(s) which have caused damage to seals/gaskets, or the use of insufficent amounts of Inhibitor are found, this will invalidate any guarantee offered. <b> PLEASE SEE OUR FITTING GUIDELINES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.</b>
</p>
<p><b>We strongly discourage the use of a water softener on the heating system as this treatment can cause problems with the gasket seal.</b></p>
<h3>Do I need a wall stay for my cast iron radiators?</h3>
<p>
We always recommend that you fit a wall stay with our cast iron radiators as they will help stop the radiator being moved and thus moving the pipe work into your valves which may then subsequently leak. As a general rule we suggest 1 stay for cast iron radiators up to 10 sections long (for the traditional 460mm range 1 stay for up to 16 sections will be fine) and 2 stays for cast iron radiators 11 - 23 sections long. We can supply stays for both solid-block walls and studded-partition waZ� ��Ĉ Tokensd Radiator Fitting Guidelines" #OPTIONS NCNL
#SECTION Fitting Guidelines
<h4>Radiator Fitting Guidelines</h4>
<ul>
<li>Appropriate dosing tool must be used and water subsequently tested to ensure correct levels of sytem inhibitor are added to match the total water content/volume of your system. This should be recorded for future reference.
</li>
<li>In addition to the above, it is always important to remember that every time your heating system is drained down for repairs/alterations/decorating etc, system inhibitor will need to be re-introduced again to the correct dosing level.
</li>
<li>To comply with BS 7593:2019, inhibitor levels should be checked annually and recorded as part of your boiler service. BS 7593:2019 also states that after 5 years systems should either be re-dosed, or a laboratory test performed. Failure to do the above will invalidate your warranty.
</li>
<li>If you have a sealed/pressurised system, once the correct amount of sysytem inhibitor is added to the system, it should remain active for the life span given by the manufacturer or until the system is drained.
</li>
<li>If you have a vented/open system, you MUST regularly check that the system inhibitor in the system is at correct level for your system volume as evaporation may affect levels over time. failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.
</li>
<li>We always recommend that suitable trained/qualified individuals install and maintain your heating system.
</li>
<li>All bush ends/caps will only be hand tight to allow customers to interchange if on a gravity fed heating system and need fitting correctly when installed.
</li>
<li>A common cause of leaks is over tightening of the valve tails into the bush ends of the radiator. Over tightening will crack the bush. When fitting the valve tail into the bush, turn it finger tight, then using a spanner turn it until there is only moderate resistance. Using a 4� spanner it is difficult to over tighten. A thread sealant must be applied to the radiator end caps and to the valve tail threads to get a water tight seal. LSX sealant, which is available at most plumbers� merchants, is recommended. PTFE tape is an acceptable alternative. The torque from an 8� adjustable spanner will be sufficient to create a good seal.
</li>
<li>All valves and air vents/bleed valves to be fitted with an LSX sealant or PTFE tape.
</li>
<li>NO caustic/corrosive/acidic plumbing compounds or liquids are to be used on or in any part of our radiators, our valves, or connections including aggressive flushing agents. Failure to not adhere to this will invalidate your guarantee.
</li>
<li>On commissioning, the water in the system MUST BE cleaned to remove debris, flux & residues. It should then be tested and if required, neutralised correctly following the use of any compounds etc if required using appropriate crystals or similar.
</li>
<li>If your system requires flushing, we recommend the use of Fernox F3 followed using system inhibitor. After treatments the water should be checked for a neutral PH between 6.5 - 8.5. System design, flushing and dosing must be in accordance with B5449, 1990. BS EN 12828: 2003 and BS 7593:2019.
</li>
<li>Following this procedure, the system must be closed with a sufficient sysyem inhibitor suitable for the water volume and quality in your system. Dosing tools must be used to ensure the minimum correct levels of sysyem inhibitor are present at all times to prevent corrosion and should take into account the particular metals within the system.
</li>
<li>Appropriate system inhibitor should be used in conjunction with manufacturer�s instructions and appropriate quantities must be used for the water content of the system at all times.
</li>
<li>The use of water softener in the heating system can cause problems with the gasket seal and will invalidate any guarantee offered.
</li>
<li>We do not advise using our cast iron radiators with an electrical heating element.
</li>
<li>Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol must not be used in conjunction with our cast iron radiators.
</li>
<li>We do not advise using our cast iron radiators with an electrical heating element.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0px">Step by Step Guide on How to Order Your Perfect Radiator</h2>
<p>The Cast Iron Radiator Centre are more than happy to assist you with your purchase. You can call us to find out what things are required to install your new radiators, or alternatively you can follow our simple guide below:
</p>
<ol class="ol-with-heading">
<li><h3>Identify what the heat requirement is for each radiator</h3>
<p>
This part is very important, but equally is easy to do using our BTU calculator on the top of this page. In order to get the correct heat output required for each radiator you purchase, we have designed a comprehensive BTU Calculator which is easy and quick to use. Simply point and click the details requested on the form and the BTU and Watts needed, will be shown.
</p>
<p>
Make sure you don�t under estimate the heat output you need. You can always control the heat back from your radiators using the correct thermostatic valve, but you can�t increase the output.
</p>
</li>
<li><h3>Choose the design of cast iron radiators you like</h3>
<p>
Browse through all the styles we can offer using either the Rads & add-ons page or individual cast iron radiators pages.
</p>
</li>
<li><h3>Choose your paint finish</h3>
<p>
Choose from our range of Period & Contemporary spray painted colours and primer only finish.
</p>
</li>
<li><h3>You will need to choose your valves</h3>
<p>
All our radiators come tested & sealed, but you will need main radiator valves in order to fit and operate each radiator. Browse our extensive range of manual and Thermostatic radiator valves which are all �� Bsp to match our cast iron radiators. We offer a great range of styles and finishes to suit all tastes.
</p>
</li>
<li><h3>Add your accessories</h3>
<p>
Don�t forget the finishing touches such as matching pipe shrouds for your valves. We offer a great range of solid tube (not cheap plastic) shrouds in various finishes to match the valves you have chosen.
</p>
<p>
Although all our radiators come free standing with their own feet sections fitted, it is important to ensure that the cast radiator is secured to the wall to protect your pipe work when fitted.
</p>
</li>
<li><h3>Deliveries & collections</h3>
<p>
Now you have ordered everything you need, we will start to prepare the order ready for dispatch or collection. When your order is ready, we will call you or email you, to let you know.
</p>
<p>
If you are collecting, then we will request a little notice (an hour or two) prior to your arrival.
</p>
<p>
If we are delivering your order, we will let you know and once dispatched, our National delivery partner will then take over. Usually, we use a �Book In� pallet kerb side service. This means that the delivery company will also make contact to arrange delivery with you directly once we have shipped your order. You can request alternative delivery services which may incurr a surcharge, but please call to discuss before ordering so that we can make sure we can meet your requirements.
</p>
</li>
<li><h3>Dotting the i�s and crossing the t�s</h3>
<p>
At checkout, please make sure you provide the correct address, best contact number for us and the delivery company to be able to call you (a mobile with voicemail preferably) and any additional instructions we will need to know about such as restrictions on access etc.

Choosing the right radiator can help towards reducing your energy bills, for example, a radiator which is too large will increase bills unnecessarily, but too small a radiator will be too cold and will be constantly running at maximum.
</p>
<p>
By performing a Heat Loss/BTU Calculation, you can establish a guide as to what size radiator is required for a particular room taking into account certain factors.
</p>
<p>
This ensures that your rooms will be heated comfortably and efficiently and hopefully saving you money!
</p>
<p>
We would always recommend where possible choosing a radiator with an output slightly higher than what is required as you can always decrease the temperature it gives out, but you can�t increase its maximum output.
</p>
<p>
If needed, you can control the heat output using thermostatic (TRV) valves.
</p>
<p>
Please note: Heat Loss/BTU Calculations are only guide and are based on information you provide. The Heating Loss/BTU Calculator can only process the most common factors that affect heat loss and may not take into account all factors relating to your particular requirements. Therefore any results provided, should, as already stated, be used as a guide. We would always recommend a qualified heating engineer or plumber check your results. We cannot accept any liability for any errors resulting from the estimates given.

</p>
<h2>What are thermostatic radiator valves?</h2>
<p>
A thermostatic radiator valve (often referred to as TRVs) is a type of valve that connects the central heating pipework to your radiator to control heat output. <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=manual-or-thermostatic-valves">Manual valves</a> allow you to set the radiator to �on� or �off� by turning the valve, and the temperature output can only be controlled by the main thermostat.
</p>
<p>
When you add a TRV to the network, it will monitor the temperature in the room and automatically operate ( open or close the valve) based on the temperature you have set on the valve itself to ensure the required temperature is maintained in the room in question.
</p>
<p>
Without this automatic adjustment and only using a manual valve, when the heating system is on, you have little control of the heat output for the radiator ć Tokens2 Radiator Common Key Points� Fully assembled and ready to fit.

By adding TRVs to your home, you essentially add a mini thermostat to every room, allowing you to have a far more efficient central heating system. You can also set individual temperature parameters for each room, allowing you to make your home more comfortable and suited to your needs.

#SECTION Calculating Pipe Centres
<p>
<u><b>We always advise you to wait for your cast iron radiators to be onsite before working out pipe work and pipe centres widths.</b></u> This is because cast iron is not an exact product and because each radiator is hand assembled there will always be slight discrepancies as indicated on each radiator page in the lengths of same style & size radiators.
</p>
<p>
However, we appreciate that occasionally some prep work may need to be carried out prior to your order arriving onsite and that approximate pipe centre measurements may be required for first fix purposes.
</p>
<p>
In this instance, please refer to the technical drawing/specification document, saved as a PDF on each individual valve type, for the measurement from the thread on the valve tail to the centre point of the valve, and add this to the length of your radiator to work out your approximate pipe centre measurement.</p>
<p>
For example, if fitting one of our Kenilworth Thermostatic Valve Sets, which has a measurement of 45mm from thread on the valve tail to the centre point of the valve, to a 10 section, Traditional Victorian radiator at 650mm wide, the approximate pipe centre measurement would be 740mm.
</p>
<p>
For the approximate measurement off the skirting board or wall if no skirting is used to the pipe centre we suggest half the depth of the cast iron radiator + 10mm as a minimum.
</p>
<p>
For the approximate �outside valve to outside valve measurement� (the minimum measurement to be able to operate the valves freely) <u><b>you should add approx. 150mm/6.0�</b></u> to the length indicated for each radiator in the Specification tab, x Ċ Page Content

</p>
<p>
<u><b>If your order is to be delivered</u></b>, when completed and palletised, it will then be passed to our pallet delivery partner (Mobile PPL) to complete the delivery on a standard 2 working day service with a max 7.5t curtain side lorry with tail lift to most UK mainland addresses, but remote areas will be longer.

<p style="color:red">
<b>We will then send a final update confirming despatch at this point via email & text/SMS.</b>

<p>
<b>DELIVERY LEAD TIMES - Lead times may need to be revised periodically without notice to meet demand (extending or shortening) during busy or quieter period, but we will always do our utmost to keep to stated times. We therefore advise not to book your plumber until the order has been delivered.</b>

<p>
Please remember that all pallet deliveries are to
<b>'KERBSIDE OR NEAREST HARD STANDING'</b> only and the driver will not be able to assist you getting your order into your property, so please ensure sufficient help is on hand.</p>
<p>Please also ensure that your order arrives banded and secured to a pallet and not as separate items loose. Any discrepancies or missing items must be brought to our attention immediately in order for us to be able to investigate fully. Please ensure you write any concerns or issues on the delivery note before signing for your order.

Ġ TokensPallet Delivery Details <p>
<strong>DELIVERY LEAD TIMES</strong> - Lead times to despatch are now shown live on the website and we will always do our utmost to keep to stated times.
</p>
<p>
All radiator pallet deliveries are made on a 7.5t Lorry (the smallest vehicle we can book) with tail lift to <b>kerb side only or nearest hard standing</b> and are based on a <b>'Book In & Signed For' All Day service (9.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m. - Week days only)</B>.
</P> <p>Once the order has been booked out for despatch, you will receive status emails periodically from <b>Mobile People Powered Logistics (Mobile PPL)</b>, our delivery partner, to confirm receipt of the order, confirmation of the pallet being scanned to a delivery vehicle (with ETA), and then confirmation of delivery completed.
</p>
<p>
Alternative �All Day� dates will be available at no additional cost to suit.</p>
<p>
Upgraded to services such as Next Day delivery, Dedicated Day a.m. or p.m., timed delivery windows and Saturday deliveries where available are available for an additional charge to be paid directly with Mobile PPL only.</p>
<p>
<b>RED ROUTES & RESTRICTIVE PARKING</b> - Please note drivers are unable to park on double yellow or red lines due to the risk of a parking ticket.
</p><p>
<b>ACCESS</b> - Please inform us if there are any access restrictions at your delivery point (such as 7.5T weight restrictions or height restricted bridges).
</p>
<p>
If you require a <b>'Dedicated Day'</b> (working week day) for delivery to ensure you have help to hand you must indicate this in the message box at checkout. Please note that this may delay delivery slightly. This will still be a <b>kerb side only or nearest hard standing</b> service. For Saturday delivery, there will be an additional charge on top of the standard delivery charge quoted if this service is available.
</p><p>
We must stress that a <b>Pallet Delivery Service is always kerbside only</b>. The drivers are not insured to assist you with any aspect of moving the goods from the kerbside. This is to remove any potential risk of personal injury or damage to your goods, or your property.
We remind you that it is not in your interest to encourage a driver to assist you in any way that falls outside of his responsibility. If, in the event the driver does agree to assist you, we assume you accept full responsibility for any subsequent damage to any person, or property and by doing so you will void any right to make a subsequent Insurance claim.
</P>
<p>
<b>Care should be taken when removing radiator(s) from the pallet on delivery. Radiators should be lifted off and NOT dragged/pulled as this will result in paintwork being damaged. When removed from the pallet, all radiators must be carried in an upright position to prevent damaged to joints.</b>
</p>
<p>
<b>If any items are deemed to be missing from any order, we must be contacted immediately (not longer than 2 days from receipt) via email. Failure to do so will result in additional items supplied being charged to the customer. We cannot be held responsible for any consequential costs incurred due to any shortfalls which have not been notified within the timescales above.</b>

Prices for deliveries will be automatically calculated at checkout.

<li><strong>Every</strong> pallet has a pre-cut card layer pad placed on every pallet base to keep goods clean and prevent scuffing.</li>
<li><strong>Every</strong> radiator is individually wrapped in 1mm protective foam.</li>
<li><strong>Every</strong> layer has an additional 5mm foam sheet to give added protection.</li>
<li><strong>Every</strong> pallet has a printed top card layer instructing not to drag radiators from pallet to protect paintwork.</li>

<p>
When your order is delivered, it is important to remember that cast iron radiators <strong>ARE VERY HEAVY</strong> - <a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/toolbox/manual.htm" target="_blank">Always follow the correct HSE lifting guidelines</a> and please ensure you have sufficient help to unload your order when it is delivered to you.

<p>
Care should be taken when removing radiators from the pallet on delivery. Radiators should be lifted off and NOT dragged/pulled as this will result in paintwork being damaged. When removed from the pallet, all radiators must be carried in an upright position to prevent damage to joints.
</p>
<p>
Whilst your radiator is on a pallet, the full length of the radiator is supported. Once the pallet is removed the radiator needs to be carried upright at all times.
</p>
<p>
A common cause of leakage is due to strain on the gasket seals caused by carrying the radiator flat without supporting the middle sections or dragging the radiator. The longer the radiator the greater the strain imposed on the water tight seals.
</p>
<p>
Two short pieces of wood 20mm x 50mm x 250mm wrapped with a tea towel or similar, make good handles when inserted between the last 2 sections at either end.
</p>
<p>
The correct way to carry a radiator is to keep it upright at all times. Please take care when lifting cast iron radiators as they are very heavy.
</p>
<p>
Never attempt to lift a cast iron radiator on your own or be tempted to drag the radiator across the floor surface into position for plumbing as this will cause strain on the water tight seals and cause leaking problems t

Further to our last update regarding the corona virus, we have taken the decision to <strong>suspend taking further orders for Cast Iron Radiators</strong> temporarily and concentrate on completing all existing orders we are committed to.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Please use the "Notify me when I can order again" link above so that we can send you an email as soon as we start production again.</strong>
</p>
<p>
We will still offer our radiator valves, wall stays and other accessories for sale and will despatch any orders for these via DPD on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
</p>
<p>
This decision will be reviewed on a regular basis and updated as the current situation develops.
</p>
As our couriers and logistics partners come under increased pressure in terms of staffing, there may well be slight delays in getting existing orders delivered to you.
</p>
<p>
We have not taken this decision lightly, but it is one made with the well-being and safety of our employees in mind as well as in the best interests of our customers and suppliers in order to maintain safe social distancing as advised by the Government and Public Health England guidance.
</p>
<p>
Going forward, we will man our offices on a skeleton staff basis over the coming weeks and until further notice to answer emails and enquiries as quickly as possible. We would encourage email enquiries as staff may be working remotely without direct telephone access.

On Monday 23<sup>rd</sup> March, we took the decision to temporarily close our offices and customer showroom in Warwickshire so that we can meet the health and well-being of our staff some of whom are now working remotely with limited access to emails. However, they are endeavoring to reply to all enquiries as soon as they can.
</p>
<p>
We have not taken this decision lightly, but it is one made with the well-being and safety of our employees in mind as well as in the best interests of our customers and suppliers in order to maintain safe social distancing as advised by the Government and Public Health England guidance.
</p>
<p><strong>
Please email ALL enquiries. Please do not call as we are unable to answer.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
Our production facility is operating for the time being, but with a �skeleton� work force (60% below our usual full complement) again to ensure their health and well-being is maintained at all times.
</p>
<p>
They are trying to work through all outstanding orders we are committed to before we closed our website to new radiator orders on Monday 23<sup>rd</sup> March.
</p>
<p>
To enable the production team to continue to work safely and meet all current guidance from the government, will mean that <strong>ALL outstanding orders</strong> yet to be despatched will take longer than originally quoted to complete, which we are very sorry for, but this is really beyond our control.
</p>
<p>
At present we anticipate that there will be approximately a further week�s delay to our current stated lead time of 5-7 working days to get your order ready for despatch.
</p>
<p>
If we can complete your order sooner, then we will obviously do so.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
ALL COLLECTIONS WILL BE ARRANGED WHEN WE RE-OPEN.
</strong>
</p>
<p><strong>
We will still offer our radiator valves, wall stays and other accessories for sale and will despatch any orders for these via DPD on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Please use the "Notify me when I can order again" link on a radiator page, so that we can send you an email as soon as we start production again.</strong>
</p>
<p>
It goes without saying, that should the current guidance change and we are no longer able to keep producing our radiators, then all production will stop until advised otherwise. Any outstanding order yet to be despatched at this point, will be produced and despatched at the earliest opportunity thereafter.

Dear {NAME},
</p>
<p>
Following on from recent developments in terms of Covid-19 and reports on the news due to the increased number of positive cases, we wanted to update you as to the progress of your current Radiator order with us.
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>An Update of Ordering and Production</u></strong>
</p>
<p>
We continue to fully assess our working practices in order to meet current guidelines on safe working and social distancing.
</p>
<p>
Therefore, our production facility where we build, pressure test, paint and despatch all our cast iron radiators is operating with increased safety measures in place.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Due to the measures that we have prioritised and also some staff having to self-isolate at times as a precautionary measure on advice of the Track and Trace, lead times MAY will need to be flexible due to this and to increase subsequent to the times quoted when you placed your order.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Any delays will be kept to a minimum, but are beyond our control due to the current situation, however, we will always endeavour to complete orders as soon as we can.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
We know that this is not ideal, but safety of our staff is paramount and these measures will ensure this whilst at the same time allowing us to service as many customers as possible during this time.

Rad casting finish� <p>
In order to assist and advise our customers, it is important to note, as all our radiators are cast using traditional methods and casting moulds, there will be slight imperfections and fettling marks on our radiators and this is how we have always wanted to supply them.
</p>
<p>
This is because we are passionate about wanting to supply our cast iron radiators which have the appearance and authenticity of being many many decades old, but with the features and guarantees associated with that of a modern radiator.
</p>
<p>
<b>An important point to note for some.....</b> The lighter the colour of your radiator the more these slight marks will possibly be noticed due to shadowing etc and the lighter colours such as Cream White are likely to require touching up more often to keep free from accidental scuffs and knocks.
</p>
<p>
On the other hand, for obvious reasons, the darker the colour, the more forgiving and less likely these marks will be noticed and as such, these are much easier to ensure the always look in 'Tip Top' condition.

One of the key advantages of cast iron radiators is their ability to retain heat. Cast iron has a high thermal mass, which means it can absorb and store a significant amount of heat. Even after the heat source is turned off, the cast iron radiator continues to radiate heat, keeping the room warm for a more extended period compared to other types of radiators.
</p>
<p>
Cast iron radiators also have a distinctive aesthetic app 4eal, often featuring intricate designs and ornate details that can add a touch of vintage charm to a space. They come in various sizes and shapes, ranging from compact models for small rooms to larger ones for larger spaces.
</p>
<p>
While cast iron radiator � �s are less common in modern construction, they are still favored in some cases, especially in the restoration or renovation of older buildings where maintaining a traditional look is desired. Additionally, they can be an energy-efficient choice as they provide a steady and even heat distribution.

<p>
Cast iron radiators offer several benefits compared to other types of radiators. Here are some of the advantages of cast iron radiators:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Heat Retention: Cast iron has excellent heat retention properties. It absorbs heat and radiates it evenly, providing a comfortable and consistent heat output over an extended period. Even after the heating system has been turned off, cast iron radiators continue to emit heat due to their high thermal mass.
</li>
<li>
Durability: Cast iron radiators are incredibly robust and long-lasting. They can withstand high pressures and temperature fluctuations without warping or cracking. Their solid construction ensures they can endure for decades with minimal maintenance, making them a reliable heating solution.
</li>
<li>
Aesthetics: Cast iron radiators are often praised for their timeless and elegant design. They add a touch of classic or vintage charm to any room, making them a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary interior styles. Cast iron radiators come in various designs and finishes, allowing you to choose a style that complements your decor.
</li>
<li>
Efficiency: Cast iron radiators are efficient at converting energy into heat. Due to their material properties, they have a large surface area, which maximises heat dissipation into the room. This efficiency helps reduce energy consumption and heating costs.
</li>
<li>
Health Benefits: Cast iron radiators provide a form of radiant heat, which is considered more comfortable and beneficial for human health compared to other heating methods. Radiant heat warms objects and surfaces in the room, creating a pleasant and cozy environment. It can also help reduce the circulation of dust, allergens, and pollutants in the air.
</li>
<li>
Customisation: Cast iron radiators can be customised to suit your heating requirements. They can be individually sized and configured to match the specific heating needs of each room. Additionally, they can be painted or finished in various colours to match your decor preferences.
</li>
<li>
Environmental Friendliness: Cast iron radiators are made from recyclable materials and have a long lifespan, making them environmentally friendly. They do not require frequent replacement, reducing waste, and the need for new manufacturing. Furthermore, their efficient heat distribution can contribute to lower energy consumption, reducing carbon footprint.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
It's important to note that cast iron radiators can be relatively heavy, and their installation may require additional support or reinforcement. Additionally, they may take longer to heat up initially due to their high thermal mass. However, these factors are outweighed by the numerous benefits they offer.

It wasn�t long ago that property developers were ripping out old cast iron radiators in favour of modern, slimline radiators. Scrap yards were once full of the old radiators that homeowners had removed in an attempt to modernise their homes.
</p>
<p>
Thankfully, classic design always stands the test of time, and <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a> are making a considerable comeback. It also seems that this trend is here to stay as homeowners are increasingly turning their backs on modern convection radiators i � Wd��

&under q ) standing-cast-iron-radiator-sizesE <h1>Size Matters: Unravelling the Secrets of Cast Iron Radiator Dimensions</h1>
<p>
When choosing radiators for your home, size matters. Most people assume that radiators are chosen to fit the wall space available, but this isn't always the case. When you're making the switch from modern panel radiators to traditional cast iron radiators, it will be more important than ever before to pay close attention to the radiator sizes and the heat output required.
</p>
<p>
<a href="products.asp?code=CDC-ARTNOU&name=art-nouveau-2-column-750mm-cast-iron-radiator">
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/art-nouveau-cast-iron-radiator-photo2-by-@loveallthingsquirky.jpeg" alt="Art Nouveau cast iron radiator, photo by @loveallthingsquirky">
</a>
</p>
<p>
If you choose a radiator too small, it won't be enough to heat the space and you can never increase its output. On the other hand, if you have to choose a radiator that is slightly oversized due to the location of your pipes, you'll have the option to control the output with thermostatic valves.
</p>
<p>
Thankfully, there is a way to determine the ideal radiator size for your needs.
</p>
<h2>Understanding cast iron radiator sizes</h2>
<p>
Cast iron radiators come in a range of heights, depths and widths. Our <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Traditional+Column">traditional four-column radiator</a> offers the most versatility in terms of sizing. First, you can choose your height and depth, according to the space available. You can then choose how many sections you need to achieve the right level of heat output required to adequately keep your chosen room nice and toasty.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/short-princess-cast-iron-radiator-photo-by-@ninathomasstudio.jpeg" alt="Short Princess cast iron radiator, photo by @ninathomasstudio">
</p>
<p>
These are some of the things you will need to think about when choosing the correct cast iron radiator dimensions for your home:
</p>
<h3>Calculate your heat output</h3>
<p>
Before you fall in love with a particular style or design, we recommend calculating the BTU or kW requirements for your room. Most will have heard of kWs, but those who haven't heard of BTUs before, this stands for British Thermal Unit and it is a measurement of how much energy is required to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Today, we can use either to calculate the heating output required to warm a room.
</p>
<p>
To calculate the required heat output for your radiator, you will need the dimensions of the room. Our <a href="products.asp?page=btucalculator">BTU calculator</a> also asks questions about other features in the room, such as the types of glazing, number of outside walls etc. Once you know the BTU requirements for the room, you can then choose the number of radiator sections you will need.
</p>
<p>
This is where you can get a bit creative. For example, if you have a very large room with a high BTU requirement, you might need to get creative. Imagine you don't have the wall space for a longer radiator, but you do have a large bay window. You could choose the shorter <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-460&name=traditional-victorian-4-column-460mm-cast-iron-radiator">460mm column radiator</a> which could stand below the windows where furniture won't be placed. You can then pair these with the <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-760&name=traditional-victorian-4-column-760mm-cast-iron-radiator">taller column radiators</a> which won't then take up so much wall space.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-radiator-660mm-4-column.jpeg" alt="cast iron radiator 660mm 4 column">
</p>
<h3>The size of the room</h3>
<p>
In large or open plan rooms, it is sensible to space your radiators evenly so you do not create cold spots. Having one large radiator at one end can create cooler areas at the opposite end. Remember that heat rises and will move along the ceiling and as it cools will begin to drop making that part of your room feel cooler. If possible, try to place your radiators around your room to ensure the heat outputs are spread more evenly.
</p>
<p>
If your <a href="products.asp?page=btucalculator">BTU requirements</a> are between radiator sections and you have high ceilings, we would recommend choosing a size up to help it feel more comfortable.
</p>
<h3>The type of heating system</h3>
<p>
Before installing cast iron radiators, you should consult with a plumber to confirm if your existing heating system can support the new radiators. Boilers have different heat output capabilities, so if you aren't sure if your heating system can keep up, we recommend consulting with a professional.
</p>
<p>
If you are trying to be as energy efficient as possible and have switched to a heat pump heating system, the good news is that these work well alongside cast iron radiators. A heat pump will produce heat more efficiently, but at a lower temperature. Therefore, you may need more sections to achieve the desired BTU output, but once the cast iron radiators are up to temperature, they do retain the heat in the cast iron for longer.
</p>
<h3>The floor and wall space</h3>
<p>
With modern panel radiators, you typically only need to think about the wall space. Since traditional cast iron radiators are self-standing, you'll also need to consider the floor space. Rather than thinking about your radiators as a utility, we prefer to see them as a piece of furniture.
</p>
<p>
Our <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-330&name=traditional-victorian-9-column-330mm-cast-iron-radiator">9-column radiators</a> in particular are incredibly visually striking in a room, creating a focal point that celebrates the period features of a home. Place these radiators in front of a low sash window for the ultimate visual impact, and to avoid wasting premium wall or floor space.
</p>
<h2>Frequently asked questions about cast iron radiator sizes</h2>
<p>
Still have questions about choosing the right sized radiator? We've answered the most common radiator sizing questions below?
</p>
<h3>Can I choose a smaller radiator if I have another heat source?</h3>
<p>
We wouldn't recommend it. We often hear from homeowners who want to know if they can choose a smaller radiator because they have another heat source in the room, such as a wood-burning stove. This is generally a bad idea because it doesn't offer the same convenience that comes from being able to heat up a room at the touch of a button.
</p>
<p>
Imagine you've been out all day and are coming home to a chilly house. You'll have to build a fire, let it get established and then eventually you'll have enough heat for the room. Wood-burning stoves typically have an incredibly high BTU output, so you won't need a radiator alongside this. It will always be an either/or situation.
</p>
<p>
With this in mind, you should always choose a radiator size that is capable of heating the room on its own. A smaller radiator won't take the edge off a chilly winter's day on its own.
</p>
<h3>Is it better to oversize radiators?</h3>
<p>
If your BTU requirements are between radiator section sizes, there are some instances when you would want to go for the oversized choice. Rooms with high ceilings or a staircase will benefit from a higher BTU output.
</p>
<p>
If your goal is to be energy efficient, we recommend choosing the radiator size that is the closest match to your BTU requirements. This will allow you to avoid overheating the room and wasting energy by opening windows to cool down.
</p>
<h3>What happens if my radiators are too big?</h3>
<p>
If you do order radiators that are too large for the room or for your heating requirements, we recommend pairing these with <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves&subcat=Thermostatic">thermostatic valves</a> (TRVs) which will allow you to control the temperature more easily. With a manual valve, the radiator is either on or off. But with a thermostatic valve, the water flow to the radiator will switch off when the desired temperature has been reached. These valves are a lot more efficient as well.

Blog Posts manual-or-thermostatic-valves� <h1>Manual or thermostatic valves: How to choose for your home</h1>
<p>
There are many decisions to make when choosing the right radiators for your home. We try to keep the process as simple as possible, but we also want to make sure you are informed of the impact each decision could have on your home.
</p>
<p>
The goal is always for optimum energy efficiency and maximum cosiness. One of the choices that will impact both of these factors is the valve selection. You can choose between <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves&subcat=Thermostatic">thermostatic valves</a> (TRVs) and <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves&subcat=Manual">manual valves</a>. While TRVs are generally considered to be the most efficient and functional, there are instances when a manual valve might be better. Let�s explore this in more detail�
</p>
<h2>What is a thermostatic valve/TRV?</h2>
<p>
<a href="products.asp?code=CDC-STRATTRV-GOLD&name=stratford-gold-brass-thermostatic-radiator-valve-set">
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/stratford-gold-brass-thermostatic-radiator-valve.jpg" alt="Stratford Gold/Brass Thermostatic Radiator Valve Set">
</a>
</p>
<p>
With thermostatic radiator valves/TRVs, you can set the temperature of each radiator to the desired level. The valve will automatically open or close to help maintain your chosen temperature. This means you can heat each room how you want it rather than heating the entire house.
</p>
<p>
TRVs are more energy-efficient than manual valves. They allow you to turn down the heat in specific rooms, perhaps because you don�t use the room as often, or because the room is naturally warmer. This can help you save money on your energy bills.
</p>
<h2>What is a manual valve?</h2>
<p>
<a href="products.asp?code=CDC-WELFORD-ANTBR&name=welford-lever-antique-brass-manual-radiator-valve-set">
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/welford-lever-antique-brass-manual-radiator-valve.jpg" alt="Welford lever antique brass manual radiator valve">
</a>
</p>
<p>
A manual valve will also allow you to control the flow of water into the radiator, but not change the temperature of that water from what your central thermostat is set at. You can only choose between �on� or �off� positions.
</p>
<p>
These valves are not automatic and you cannot select different temperatures for different radiators in your home. You only control the temperature in your home by the central thermostat, not on each individual radiator. In short, they are generally cheaper but offer less flexibility generally throughout your home.
</p>
<h2>When to choose a thermostatic valve</h2>
<p>
A TRV is the most energy-efficient valve available. While they might be a little more expensive than manual valves, they are more efficient and could save you money on your energy bills in the long term.
</p>
<p>
You should consider a TRV if you need to have control over individual radiators in your home. So, if the temperature between rooms varies quite significantly, you could benefit from this type of valve.
</p>
<p>
A great advantage of TRVs at this time of year is that, due to the ability to control the required temperature in each room, it�s possible to maintain a minimum temperature in your home so that pipes are not at risk of freezing. This is called �Frost Protection�. Our TRVs give you the option to keep the heating on, but at a lower and cheaper level whilst maintaining sufficient heat to protect your pipework and radiators.
</p>
<p>
Finally, we recognise that keeping on top of our energy bills is vital for those facing higher energy costs. It�s worth noting that maintaining an ambient temperature using TRVs will allow you to fine-tune the temperature in your home with greater ease.
</p>
<p>
Nudging up the temperature in a room you use more often will be easier and cheaper if you maintain a consistent ambient temperature throughout your home. This is also why Building Control generally requires TRVs to be fitted to new builds and larger extensions.
</p>
<h3>Choose a thermostatic valve if:</h3>
<ul>
<li>You want your home to be as energy-efficient as possible</li>
<li>You want the flexibility to adjust the temperature room by room to suit you rather than the whole house</li>
<li>You have consulted with a plumber as to which rooms require TRVs</li>
<li>You want frost protection in the winter to stop your pipes and radiators from freezing</li>
</ul>
<h2>When to choose a manual valve</h2>
<p>
The manual radiator valve is an industry standard and is present in many homes. It�s enduringly popular because it is cheaper for builders/developers. You might want to choose manual valves if you don�t need to have individual control over radiators. If you are happy to use your central thermostat to control the temperature in your home, manual valves will be sufficient.
</p>
<p>
You can still isolate single radiators in your home and switch them off if you don�t need them. For example, if you don�t use a room very much, you might choose to switch off the radiator to save money on your heating bills. Just remember, however, it does cost more to heat a room or home from scratch compared to heating from a maintained ambient temperature at the outset.
</p>
<p>
Manual valves are also ideal for rooms such as a bathroom or shower room, as the steam from showers and baths can sometimes impact the readings on thermostatic valves and make them less effective.
</p>
<h )l3>Choose a manual valve if:</h3>
<ul>
<li>You are placing the radiator in a bathroom or shower room, as steam heat can impact the readings on TRVs</li>
<li>You want to control the temperature with your thermostat</li>
<li>You don�t need to heat rooms to different temperatures</li>
</ul>
<h2>Still not sure?</h2>
<p>
If you�re struggling to choose between thermostatic valves and manual valves, we always recommend consulting with a plumber. They will be able to advise you on the best choice for your home, based on the heating requirements and your existing boiler system.
</p>
<p>
And if you need help choosing the right valve design for your home, get in touch with our team. We stock a wide range of manual and thermostatic valves that will fit perfectly with your period renovation.
</p>
<p>
Remember, with our extensive range of thermostatic valves/TRVs you do not have to compromise on style to achieve the energy saving you need as most of our TRVs are still designed with that authentic period look and finish.

Blog Posts( 7winter-heating-maintenance-tips-for-cast-iron-radiators� <h1>Winter heating maintenance tips for cast iron radiators</h1>
<p>
Have you turned your central heating on for the winter yet? While some of us like to get cosy at the first sign of a cold spell, others prefer to hold off for as long as possible. Whenever you choose to crank up the thermostat, make sure you�ve run through this checklist to ensure your radiators are as efficient as possible this winter.
</p>
<p>
Regular maintenance will not only help your radiators to work more effectively, it can also help to keep your energy costs down. This means you can stay warm and cosy for less.
</p>
<p>
Cast iron radiators are similar to modern radiators, but there are some key differences in the ways they work. So, if you�re recently made the switch to cast iron radiators and want to know how to keep them in tip-top condition throughout the winter, follow our advice.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/maintenance-tips-1.jpg" alt="maintenance tips for cast iron radiators">
</p>
<h2>Clean your radiators</h2>
<p>
Your radiators are likely to attract dust like any other piece of furniture in your home, we recommend giving them a good clean.
</p>
<p>
The easiest way to clean your radiators is with a static duster that can run between the columns. This will allow you to reach all surfaces and remove dust and pet dander.
</p>
<p>
This should leave your radiators clean and ready for the winter.
</p>
<h2>Review your thermostatic valves</h2>
<p>
If you opted for thermostatic radiator valves, you will need to check these are all switched to the �on� position. As the weather gets warmer in spring, we tend to close off radiators one by one. This means that some radiators might be switched off when winter next rolls around.
</p>
<p>
Make sure all of your radiators are switched on so you can run the entire heating system to check for issues. If there are radiators that don�t need to be switched on, or don�t need to be as hot, you can review this later and adjust the valve to suit your needs. But for the purposes of turning your heating on for the first time, you want to make sure all radiator valves are in the fully open position.
</p>
<p>
<a href="products.asp?code=CDC-WELFORD-ANTBR&name=welford-lever-antique-brass-manual-radiator-valve-set">
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/maintenance-tips-2.jpg" alt="Welford lever antique brass manual radiator valve">
</a>
</p>
<h2>Check your thermostat</h2>
<p>
It�s time to turn on your central heating system and check everything is working as it should. Set your thermostat a little bit higher than you typically would to make sure the heating system stays on for long enough to check everything is working.
</p>
<p>
This is also an opportunity to check that your thermostat is working correctly. Many thermostats are battery-powered, and a low battery could mean that your radiators don�t turn on when they are supposed to.
</p>
<p>
If you have a smart thermostat, check that it is functioning correctly. You can also use this opportunity to review your heating schedule to make sure it still suits your schedule and preferences.
</p>
<h2>Bleeding your radiators</h2>
<p>
After you have turned on your central heating and allowed it to get up to temperature, it�s time to check your radiators. You are looking for even heat distribution throughout the entire radiator.
</p>
<p>
Check the top, bottom, left and right sides of your radiators after the central heating system has been switched on for a short time. If there are cold spots on your radiators, this could be a sign there is air in the system and your radiators need to be bled (remove the air in the system).
</p>
<p>
Bleeding your radiators is a simple task. We�ve included instructions for how to bleed your radiators here. You�ll need a <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares&subcat=Bleed+valves+and+Bleed+Keys">radiator bleed key</a> to be able to complete this step.
</p>
<h2>Protecting against frost</h2>
<p>
If you�re planning to go away and your central heating won�t be switched on for a while, you need to think about how to protect against frozen pipework. Our thermostatic valves have something known as �frost protection� which will trigger, assuming your heating is programmed to be on to work if the temperature drops to the point where your pipes are at risk of freezing, usually around 6-7 degrees.
</p>
<p>
This function will work whether your radiators are on or switched to the off position. This can offer excellent peace of mind during winter, as no one wants to deal with a burst pipe!
</p>
<h2>Want to upgrade your heating system?</h2>
<p>
Cast iron radiators offer a cost-effective way to heat your home through the winter months. The cast iron material heats up gradually and then retains the heat for longer than modern radiators. This means you�ll enjoy long and sustained heat output that keeps your home warm and comfortable throughout even the chilliest nights.
</p>
<p>
You could choose our most popular radiator, the <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Traditional+Column">traditional Victorian 3 column radiator</a>. Or you could opt for something more ornate, such as the <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Art+Nouveau">Art Nouveau 2 column radiator</a>. All radiators are available in a range of lengths and finishes, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your interiors.

<p>
Helping your heating system to work as efficiently as possible will enable you to maximise comfort without seeing you u *r energy bills spiralling out of control.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/energy-saving-tips-1.jpg" alt="energy saving tips for cast iron radiators">
</p>
<p>
If you have one or more <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators">cast iron radiators</a> in your home, there are some simple steps you can take to improve efficiency and make sure you are getting the best value every time you turn up the thermostat.
</p>
<p>
Follow these tips for making sure your heating system is working efficiently this winter.
</p>
<h2>How do cast iron radiators work?</h2>
<p>
The first step in making your heating system more effective is to understand how cast iron radiators work. If you have recently upgraded from conventional radiators to cast iron radiators, you might be wondering how to make the most of this switch.
</p>
<p>
Cast iron radiators work by gradually heating up as hot water is pumped through the system. The cast iron may heat up very slightly slower than traditional radiators, but importantly will retain the heat for much longer. You won�t get instant heat as you might from an electric radiator, but your radiators will stay hot for longer after you turn them off.
</p>
<p>
This means the timer is your best friend, and working out when you want your home to be warm will enable you to save money on your heating bills by anticipating these moments.
</p>
<h2>Keep your radiators clean</h2>
<p>
Regularly dusting your radiators will help them to heat up evenly and avoid the dreaded dust bunnies that can accumulate between the vertical columns. Extreme dust build up on a radiator could make them less efficient as it will impact heat distribution to the surrounding air. You need good airflow between the columns for your radiators to be as effective as possible.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<h2>Check for cold spots</h2>
<p>
Cold spots on your radiators could indicate that you have air in the system. Air can block the free circulation of the hot water in your system and will prevent parts of your radiators from heating up, making them far less effective.
</p>
<p>
To get rid of air bubbles, you�ll need to bleed your radiators and then check the pressure on your boiler. If bleeding the radiators causes the pressure to fall below the manufacturer�s recommended levels, you�ll need to use the filling loop to top up your boiler and increase the pressure. This is a simple task to do with most boilers having instructions on them showing how to do this.
</p>
<h2>Clear clutter around radiators</h2>
<p>
Cast iron radiators work best when there is good airflow around the entire unit. This is why they are floor-mounted rather than wall-mounted.
</p>
<p>
With a conventional wall-mounted radiator, you might need to add a reflective layer to the wall behind the radiator to help prevent heat loss through the wall. This step is unnecessary for cast iron radiators, as they simply need airflow around the whole unit to be effective.
</p>
<p>
Keep the area around your radiators clear to help prevent heat loss and poor efficiency.
</p>
<h2>Switch to thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs)</h2>
<p>
A <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves&subcat=Thermostatic">thermostatic valve</a> will make your home heating more responsive to your needs. Rather than being stuck selecting between �off� and �on�, you can set the heating level for each room.
</p>
<p>
Rooms that are rarely used can be switched off entirely, and then you can decide which rooms should be a little cooler (bedrooms) and which should be warmer (lounge).
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/energy-saving-tips-2.jpg" alt="energy saving tips for cast iron radiators">
</p>
<h2>Make small modifications to your home</h2>
<p>
The original features in your period property could be making your home heating system less efficient. To help trap the heat in your home, you need to identify and eliminate draughts. Placing rugs over wooden floors, using draught excluders and hanging insulated drapes in your window can all help to stop pesky draughts from making your home feel colder.
</p>
<p>
Once you have made these changes, if you are still struggling to keep your home warm, you should investigate more extensive changes such as additional insulation.
</p>
<h2>Closing thoughts</h2>
<p>
Cast iron radiators can be highly efficient, if you know how to use them. A few simple housekeeping tasks like keeping your radiators clean and removing clutter from around your radiators can help them to work more efficiently. You should also consider bleeding your radiators regularly if you suffer from cold spots.
</p>
<p>
Installing and learning to use TRVs and your thermostat timer will save you a lot of money on your heating bills as you�ll only be heating the rooms you need to heat, when you need to heat them. And finally, a few small modifications to help eliminate cold draughts will make a considerable difference to how warm your home feels.

Blog Posts< cast-iron-radiator-colours� <h1>What colour should cast iron rad � *<iators be?</h1>
<p>
Often the most enjoyable aspect of decorating your home is choosing the colour scheme. Colour is an important part of interior design and the choices you make can influence your mood and outlook when you inhabit spaces.
</p>
<p>
While you might be able to change wall and soft furnishing colours on a whim, your home fixtures and fittings are likely to be around for the long term. That means you need to think carefully before selecting colours for certain items in your home � including <a href="/">traditional cast iron radiators</a>
</p>
<p>
In this guide, we�ll explore everything you need to know about radiator colour and how to select the right radiator colour for your home.
</p>
<h2>What colour should cast iron radiators be?</h2>
<p>In its raw state, cast iron is a deep grey slate colour. If you want to choose a colour close to the natural shade of cast iron, we would recommend gunmetal grey.</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-radiator-colours-1.jpg" alt="cast iron radiator colours">
</p>
<p>
Traditional cast iron radiator colours have been enduringly popular throughout history. There are many reasons this might be the case:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Some colours are more effective at conducting heat than others. For example, black or darker colours are more efficient than lighter colours. Matt paint finishes are also more effective than glossy or metallic finishes. However, the difference in heat output is negligible, so we don�t think you should allow this factor to influence your final decision.</li>
<li>Some colours offer a low maintenance solution that will be easier to care for and less likely to show marks and scuffs. Darker colours and satin finishes will be easier to care for than light colours like cream or white. If you�re shopping for a high-traffic area of your home, we recommend picking a darker colour like gunmetal grey, which is a satin finish.</li>
<li>The style of the radiator might influence your colour choice. For example, an iconic <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Traditional+Column">four-column cast iron radiator</a> looks particularly stylish in satin black, while <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Ornate">ornate radiators</a> look incredibly impressive in antique bronze.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Pro tip: You should only order the base-coat finish if you have arranged to have your radiators professionally painted in a custom colour.
</p>
<h2>How are cast iron radiators painted?</h2>
<p>
Our cast iron radiators are spray painted in one of our three professional painting booths to ensure an even, full-coverage finish. We use both 2 pack and cellulose based paints which offer a superior, deeper sheen and a more durable finish.
</p>
<p>
All of our radiators are painted with a base coat finish before the coloured top coat is applied. This helps to ensure excellent paint adhesion and ensures that the texture of the cast iron can really shine through.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-radiator-colours-2.jpg" alt="cast iron radiator colours">
</p>
<h2>Can I paint my cast iron radiator myself?</h2>
<p>
We wouldn�t recommend painting your radiators at home with a paint brush and a tin of any old paint. Remember that radiators heat up and cool down repeatedly, so if you paint them with the wrong type of paint, this is going to very quickly crack and flake away.
</p>
<p>
You can pay to have your radiators professionally spray painted any colour in a paint booth. This is the only instance when we would recommend ordering the radiators with a base coat only.
</p>
<p>
Customers often ask us if they can save money by choosing the base coat-only finish � after all, they do look very similar to the matt black radiators. While they might look a similar colour, the base-coat is not designed to be a finished top coat. It is designed to act as a key for our finished top coats to adhere better to.
</p>
<p>
Until we apply the top coat, the base coat feels rough to the touch, making it unsuitable for your interiors. A radiator that only has a base coat is more likely to attract scuffs and marks that will make the radiator look very unattractive. It will also be very difficult to clean the rough surface of the radiator until there is a top coat applied.
</p>
<p>
Once you know the colour you want, the next step is to choose the right size for your space. We recently shared our thoughts on <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=understanding-cast-iron-radiator-sizes">how to choose the right radiator size for your home</a>.

Blog PostsF 0replacing-old-radiators-with-cast-iron-radiators <h1>Things To Consider When Replacing Old Radiators with Cast Iron Radiators</h1>
<p>
There are many reasons to consider updating your existing radiators to cast iron radiators. In a period property, choosing cast iron radiators can help you to achieve a specific style and aesthetic. You might also be considering an upgrade for purely practical rea � (�sons, because cast iron radiators offer an energy efficient way to heat your home.
</p>
<p>
Whatever your reasons for upgrading your heating system, we recommend a carefully planned approach. Cast iron radiators have some distinct features that make them slightly different to the usual metal panel radiators that fix to your walls. With this in mind, we�re sharing our top tips to help streamline your upgrade when you replace old radiators with cast iron radiators.
</p>
<h2>How to replace old radiators with cast iron radiators</h2>
<p>
Switching from panel radiators to cast iron radiators isn�t always a direct switch. You�re going to need to bring in the professionals to make sure everything is compatible and your radiators are installed safely and properly secured.
</p>
<p>
The biggest difference you�ll notice is that your old radiators were likely wall-mounted, whereas your cast iron radiators are free-standing and are secured to the wall using a wall stay. This means the pipework will need to be adjusted to meet your new radiators.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/replacing-old-radiators-with-cast-iron-radiators-1.jpg" alt="replacing old rads with cast iron radiators">
</p>
<p>
Read on to learn the simple steps you�ll need to take to make the switch from panel radiators to traditional cast iron radiators.
</p>
<h2>Check your boiler is compatible</h2>
<p>
Cast iron radiators are very similar to panel radiators, so if the number of radiators in your home isn�t increasing, your current boiler should be able to power your radiator upgrade. One point to make is that our cast iron radiators will probably hold slightly more water than standard panel radiators. Most normal central heating systems are compatible with cast iron radiators so always worth checking with your plumber.
</p>
<p>
Our cast iron radiators can be used with sealed/pressurised systems and open/valved systems alike. However, the maintenance will be different for each system, so it�s vital that you know which one you have.
</p>
<p>
Every heating system is unique, so we will provide comprehensive installation instructions that will work for you when you take delivery of your cast iron radiators.
</p>
<h2>Calculate your BTU</h2>
<p>
The BTU is a measure of how much energy is required to heat a space. Every room will be different and many factors can influence the BTU. We have this handy guide for calculating your BTU, and an interactive BTU calculator.
</p>
<p>
The BTU will determine the size of radiator you need to heat each room. Large spaces might warrant more than one radiator to meet the BTU requirements. Remember that you can achieve different BTU outputs with different size configurations. So, a tall and thin radiator could achieve the same as a short and long radiator.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/replacing-old-radiators-with-cast-iron-radiators-2.jpg" alt="replacing old rads with cast iron radiators">
</p>
<h2>Order your radiators</h2>
<p>
Now comes the fun part. Once you know the BTU requirements for each room, you can then choose a radiator height and length that works for your needs. We share our thoughts on <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=understanding-cast-iron-radiator-sizes">choosing the ideal radiator size</a> for your home in this blog post.
</p>
<p>
You�ll also need to choose the style and colour finish for your radiators. Arguably, this is the most fun part of replacing old radiators with cast iron radiators. If you�re not sure which colour is right for your home, we recently shared our thoughts on the <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=cast-iron-radiator-colours">best colours for traditional cast iron radiators</a>.
</p>
<h2>Handle your radiators with care</h2>
<p>
When you take delivery of your cast iron radiators, it is vital that you handle them correctly to prevent damage. We have provided a <a href="products.asp?page=handlingcastironradiators">comprehensive guide</a> to help minimise the risk of damage. In short, you should always carry your radiators vertically and avoid holding them flat, as this could cause damage to the connections between the sections.
</p>
<h2>Hire a plumber</h2>
<p>
We recommend hiring a professional to ensure your cast iron radiators are installed correctly. This will avoid the risk of over tightening a valve which could lead to a leak in your system.
</p>
<p>
We always recommend waiting until your radiators arrive on site before installing any pipework. This is because every radiator is unique and the length could vary once the sections of your bespoke radiator are put together. If you place pipework before knowing the length of your radiator, your pipe centres could be out of alignment.
</p>
<p>
We do offer a guide to <a href="products.asp?page=calculatingpipecentres">calculating your pipe centres</a>, but this should be used strictly as a guide only. Bear in mind there could be slight differences in the finished product when they arrive.
</p>
<h2>Learn the basic care tips</h2>
<p>
Once you have your new radiators installed, it�s time to learn some basic maintenance tips. While they are very similar to panel radiators, there are some features to be aware of so you can make the most of the upgrade.
</p>
<p>
You�ll need to learn how to bleed your cast iron radiators so they can work as efficiently as possible year after year. We also recommend including your radiators in your annual boiler service, particularly if you want to keep your warranty intact.
</p>
<p>
Cast iron radiators are incredibly durable, but you may wish to dust them periodically to keep them looking beautiful. Certain paint colours require less maintenance than others, but being prepared for little touch ups is always a good idea.
</p>
<h2>Final thoughts</h2>
<p>
Making the switch from unsightly panel radiators to traditional cast iron radiators can give your period property and instant style upgrade. Cast iron radiators look the part but they are also incredibly effective for creating a warm and inviting environment in your home.
</p>
<p>
If you�re on the fence about making the switch, we hope this guide has helped to clear up a few of your questions. And if you are still confused about any stage of the process, we�d love to hear from you. Our knowledgeable team can help to clear up any confusion so you can move forward with your radiator upgrade with complete confidence.

<p>
A quick search on Instagram or Pinterest will reveal the full extent of the current demand for cast iron radiators. What was once seen as a purely functional item is now becoming a part of the decor. And the growing interest in renovating and restoring period properties is only adding fuel to this fire.
1 $�n favour of beautiful period designs. Let�s explore this comeback in a little more detail�
</p>
<h2>Stylish and functional</h2>
<p>
Perhaps the biggest driving force behind the return of cast iron radiators is that they are simply enduringly stylish.
</p>
<p>
They went out of style as homeowners wanted thinner, wall-mounted radiators that would heat up quickly. Modern radiators were also designed to blend in, often painted white and placed on white walls to conceal them.
</p>
<p>
Now, we�re seeing more homeowners make bolder design choices with their radiators. Radiators are not purely functional but can also be a focal point for a room. There is also greater appreciation for the efficiency of cast iron radiators which heat up gradually and hold their heat for much longer.
</p>

</p>
<p>
There is a timeless quality to a cast iron radiator that appears to transcend the trends. You can pair a cast iron radiator with period, modern or industrial styles with ease. So while they might be incredibly popular with those homeowners renovating period homes, this is not the only place we are seeing them installed.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-radiators-making-a-comeback-2.jpg" alt="cast iron radiators making a comeback in bedroom">
</p>
<h2>Versatile and adaptable</h2>
<p>
With so many different styles available, you can always find a cast iron radiator for every space in your home, no matter how awkward you might think it is. Cast iron radiators can be short, tall, long or wide. They are also available in a range of colours, allowing you to match or contrast the styles in your home.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Pro tip:</strong> When switching from traditional radiators to cast iron radiators, always use the <a href="products.asp?page=btucalculator">BTU calculator</a> for the space rather than simply switching like-for-like. Your hallway might have a 1.5m long panel radiator, but if you make a direct switch to a 1.5m long cast iron radiator, the chances are you�ll turn your hallway into a furnace.
</p>
<h2>More efficient</h2>
<p>
Another reason for the rise in interest in cast iron radiators is the improved efficiency of cast iron as a heat conductor. Cast iron radiators heat up more slowly and then release the heat over a longer period. This can help to put less strain on your central heating, allowing you to use it more efficiently.
</p>
<p>
When paired with <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves&subcat=Thermostatic">thermostatic valves</a> and smart heating controls, your central heating system can become incredibly efficient. And when the cost of living is on the rise, we�re all looking for ways to drive down bills without sacrificing comfort.
</p>
<h2>Post-pandemic trends</h2>
<p>
During the pandemic, we all got to spend more time at home, and this led many of us to look for ways to improve rather than move. With a newfound appreciation for home decor and DIY, many homeowners have carried this passion over into the post-pandemic world.
</p>
<p>
We might not be stuck at home anymore, but we�re still a nation of interior design lovers, and many of us want to create truly unique spaces. Appetite for DIY and home decor has remained strong following the easing of restrictions. This could be down to more of us working from home, which offers more motivation to create the �dream home�.
</p>

</p>
<h2>Better for allergy sufferers</h2>
<p>
Did you know that cast iron radiators are better for those suffering from dust allergies. Modern radiators work on a convection system and rely on circulating air (and dust) around the room.
</p>
<p>
Cast iron radiators heat up slowly and release the heat slowly, which means they radiate heat around them rather than circulating the air. This means they have less impact on air circulation and this can help to limit the movement of dust in the air.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<h2>The social media effect</h2>
<p>
We�ve seen an incredible increase in the number of individuals and couples creating social media accounts and sharing their renovation stories. This means there is no shortage of inspiration for those looking for new ideas for their home.
</p>
<p>
Social media offers education about how to choose your cast iron radiators. It also offers inspiration for how to style them and incorporate them into any space. We love seeing your home transformations with cast iron radiators taking centre stage.

<p>
Cast iron radiator installation should always be handled by a qualified professional. Your plumber should have all of the tools you need to achieve a professional installation.
</p>
<p>
If you require any assistance or advice with your cast iron radiator installation, ask your plumber to <a href="products.asp?page=contact">contact us directly</a> and we can answer any of their technical questions, before or during the cast iron radiator installation process.
</p>
<h2>How to lift your cast iron radiators</h2>
<p>
Remember that cast iron radiators are heavy. If carried incorrectly, the gasket seals between sections can be compromised. This is a common cause of leaks. Please see our guide on <a href="products.asp?page=handlingcastironradiators">Handling Cast Iron Radiators</a>.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-radiator-installation-guide-1.jpg" alt="cast iron radiator installation guide">
</p>
<p>
Your radiators will be delivered flat on a pallet. We recommend leaving them on the pallet until you are ready to install them and can arrange to have help at hand.
</p>
<p>
If you drag your radiators or attempt to slide them from the pallet, you risk damaging them or more likely, the paintwork before you�ve even had a chance to install them.
</p>
<p>
Always carry your cast iron radiators vertically, never horizontally. Two short pieces of wood wrapped in a tea towel make excellent carry handles. Simply slide the wood between the sections so there is a piece on either side. Again, see our handling guide for helpful tips.
</p>
<p>
Remember that all our cast iron radiators have feet, so they can be stored upright until you�ve had a chance to secure them to the wall. Just be cautious that these aren�t knocked, as this could damage the radiators or scratch the paintwork.
</p>
<p>
Curious about the steps your plumber will take to install your radiators? We don�t recommend our customers handle the installation by themselves. As you can see, the process is quite complex and requires specialist training!
</p>
<h2>How to install cast 3iron radiators</h2>
<p>
When you�re ready to install your cast iron radiators, your qualified plumber or heating technician will need to follow these installation instructions (which are also included with your delivery on an A3 bright yellow sheet).
</p>
<ol>
<li>
Remove the product from the packaging with care and then carry them vertically into position. The radiators have feet, so they can stand upright until they are ready to be secured to the wall.
</li>
<li>
Place them in the desired position.
</li>
<li>
Mark the point on the wall where the wall where the <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares&subcat=Wall+Stays">wall stays</a> needs to be.
</li>
<li>
Set the cast iron radiator to one side and drill the wall, remembering to check the wall for electrical wires and water pipes prior to drilling.
</li>
<li>
Insert wall plugs and then attach the round base plate and collar to the wall. Insert the threaded bar. Reposition the radiator and mark on the threaded bar where you need to cut it to length. Remove the threaded bar and use a hacksaw to cut it to length. Replace the threaded bar with the cut side going into the base plate. Then attach the rear plate.
</li>
<li>
Use LSX sealant or PTFE tape on the end caps and the <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves">radiator valves</a> (sold separately) and screw onto the radiator. Be careful not to over-tighten, as this is a common cause of leaks.
</li>
<li>
Place the radiator in the desired position. Connect the radiator to the pipework, concealing with <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares&subcat=Pipe+Shrouds+%2D+Sleeves">pipe shrouds</a> if required.
</li>
<li>
With the seals tightened and the pipework connected, it�s now time to attach the front plate to the wall stays. This will keep your radiator secure.
</li>
<li>
Fill the radiator system and check carefully for leaks. It�s often helpful for two people to complete this step so that one can control the water flow and the other can look for leaks.
</li>
<li>
If no leaks are found, it�s time to flush the system. We recommend Fernox F3 followed by F1 rust inhibitor.
</li>
<li>
Fill the system again, this time using hot water. Gradually bring the cast iron radiators up to heat and allow them to expand for the first time. Expansion will test the seals, so we need to check for leaks again.
</li>
<li>
Provided there are no leaks, you can now run the central heating system and then release trapped air in the system using the bleed valve key. This is a good time to confirm that you know how to use your bleed valves.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
If the radiators have been marked during the installation process, it�s a good idea to use this opportunity to touch up the paint using a <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares&subcat=Touch+Up+%28Spray%29+Paint+%26+Colour+Sample">cast iron radiator touch up paint</a>.
</p>
<h2>Maintaining your cast iron radiators once fitted</h2>
<p>
Radiator inhibitor works by preventing internal corrosion and provides additional protection for all the components in your heating system from your boiler to your valves and radiators.
</p>
<p>
The appropriate dosing tool should be used and the water should be tested to ensure you achieve the right inhibitor levels for the total water content of the system.
</p>
<p>
Make a note of your cast iron radiator inhibitor levels for future reference. Every time the radiator system is drained for decorating or alterations for example, you�ll need to reintroduce the inhibitor at the correct level.
</p>
<p>
We also recommend checking the inhibitor levels annually as part of your boiler service. After 5 years, the inhibitor should be renewed, or a laboratory test should be performed to confirm the levels. These steps are essential to keep your warranty intact.
</p>
<p>
For sealed and pressurised systems, the inhibitor level should remain the same unless you drain the system or you have a leak. With a vented or open system, you need to check the inhibitor levels regularly, as evaporation in the system can impact levels.</p>
</p>
<p>
You must not use any water softening agents in the system with our radiators as this can cause damage to gaskets and seals.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-radiator-installation-guide-2.jpg" alt="cast iron radiator installation guide">
</p>
<h2>Performing a cast iron radiator flush</h2>
<p>
On commissioning, the water in the system should be cleaned to remove debris, flux and residues. The system should then be tested and neutralised if required. The Ph of your heating system should be maintained around 7-8.5.
</p>
<p>
We also do not recommend the use of caustic, corrosive or acidic plumbing compounds with our cast iron radiators. These can damage the valves and connections.
</p>
<p>
Every 5 or 6 years, you should hire a professional to perform a cast iron radiator flush. This will help to remove debris build up. We recommend the use of Fernox F3 followed by F1 rust inhibitor. And finally, the system should be closed with the correct dosing of the inhibitor.
</p>
<h2>How to fit cast iron radiator wall stays</h2>
<p>
Cast iron radiators need to be secured to the wall for a number of reasons. They are very heavy, and there is a risk they could topple if they are not secured in place. Securing them to the wall will also minimise the risk that they could move, which could damage the pipes feeding your radiators.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-radiator-installation-guide-3.jpg" alt="cast iron radiator installation guide">
</p>
<p>
You�ll need one <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares&subcat=Wall+Stays">wall stay</a> for the first 10 sections of your radiator, and two wall stays for any radiator longer than 10 sections. Our customers usually like the symmetry of 2 wall stays, even for shorter lengths. And remember that odd numbers of sections will result in an off-centre wall stay.
</p>
<p>
The round base plate is secured to the wall and then the threaded bar can be measured and cut to the correct length using a hacksaw. The cut end should be secured to the base plated and collar. The threaded square plate goes on the threaded bar first and then the smooth base plate is secured on the outside of the radiator using the washer and flange nut.

<p>
So you�ve purchased a Victorian period property and want to decorate in an authentic style. You�ve come to the right place. In this guide, we�re sharing our insight into the Victorian interior design trends and how you can update them with some modern touches.
</p>
<p>
As you might expect, <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a> feature prominently in Victorian interior design. The Victorians were some of the first to enjoy indoor heating, and cast iron radiators were the design of choice. Often powered by steam, making the switch from coal burning fires to central heating was a sign of status in Victorian times.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/victorian-style-of-decorating-1.jpg" alt="Victorian style of decorating">
</p>
<p>
Now you too can show off your decorating prowess by adding cast iron radiators to your interiors. To keep the look authentically Victorian, we recommend the Traditional Four Column Radiators, available in a wide range of lengths and heights to fit your space.
</p>
<h2>Victorian architectural features</h2>
<p>
First things first, let�s talk about the bare bones of the room. Victorian architecture was all about going above and beyond with the smaller details. This is why we commonly see detailed coving, intricate ceiling roses, and panelled doors.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/victorian-style-of-decorating-2.jpg" alt="Victorian style of decorating">
</p>
<p>
Victorian home design also favoured the bay window, which creates the ideal nook for a low radiator. We love the boxy design of the 9 column radiator for this exact purpose. This is one way that you can make your cast iron radiators a focal point of your decor.
</p>
<h2>Victorian colour schemes and patterns</h2>
<p>
There�s always a lot going on with a Victorian decor colour scheme. As patterned wallpaper was available to the middle classes for the first time, popular designs flourished. Popular patterns of the time include plaids, stripes, damask, and florals.
</p>
<p>
The introduction of new dye techniques meant that homeowners could also play with contrasting patterns and colours. It was truly a time for maximalism and self-expression.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/victorian-style-of-decorating-3.jpg" alt="Victorian style of decorating">
</p>
<p>
In terms of paint colours, all rules are off when it comes to modern Victorian decorating. When homes were still heated by coal fires, darker paint colours were favoured for the walls as this would conceal the soot marks. As homes made the move to cast iron radiators, it became possible to decorate with more muted shades and pastels.
</p>
<p>
This could offer some inspiration when it comes to choosing your colour palette. For cosy rooms with a fireplace, you might select deeper jewel tones to lean into the early Victorian theme. Save the muted tones for other rooms in your home where you want to project a sense of lightness.
</p>
<h2>Victorian furniture</h2>
<p>
Victorian furniture is enduringly popular in interior design. You don�t have to decorate your home like you are living in a National Trust museum. A far better way to achieve the Vicotrian style with a modern twist is to borrow elements of Victorian furniture.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/victorian-style-of-decorating-4.jpg" alt="Victorian style of decorating">
</p>
<p>
Popular elements include ornate mirrors, plush velvet sofas with tufting, sofas paired with pairs of matching chairs, Chesterfield sofas, antique rugs, Tiffany lamps, wall sconces, chintz pillows and decorative dressers.
</p>
<h2>Victorian flooring choices</h2>
<p>
When the rest of the home is opulent and lavish, you can expect nothing less from the flooring. Victorian flooring was designed to last and to make a statement as strong as the other elements in the room. Parquet flooring was very popular, but you could achieve a sympathetic look by simply restoring the original floorboard and pairing with vintage rugs.
</p>
<p>
Patterned tiles were incredibly popular in hallways and even down the garden path. These are commonly chosen in darker shades to help hide the dirt. Stairs were commonly left bare. While rugs were commonplace, carpet was not.
</p>
<h2>How to achieve modern Victorian decor</h2>
<p>If you�re reviving a Victorian property, the first step is to determine which of the original features you can save. You can then decide which of the original features you would like to faithfully reproduce.
</p>
<p>
From the bare bones, you can then design a colour scheme for the home based on usage and the direction it is facing. South-facing rooms will get the most sunlight and you�ll have the most flexibility with colours. For all other rooms, you�ll either need to be confident with the lighting, or adjust your colour palette to work with the natural light.
</p>
<p>
Next, introduce patterns through the use of wallpaper, soft furnishings and window coverings. This is where you can introduce some individuality and personal style preferences. Will you opt for a maximalist approach or keep things muted and serene?
</p>
<p>
We love the approach of keeping most of the home muted and calm, and then introducing a single maximalist space in an unexpected way, such as a downstairs bathroom or home office. This will allow you to play with contrasting patterns and bold statement colours without feeling overwhelmed.
</p>
<p>
Finally, you can include furniture that is sympathetic to the era, but updated for modern usage. For example, you can make a casual dining area by pairing a tufted banquette bench with a vintage oak dining table and mismatched chairs.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/victorian-style-of-decorating-5.jpg" alt="Victorian style of decorating">
</p>
<p>
In the bedroom, pair a vintage metal bed frame with an ornate carved wardrobe. Bring the style up to date with the introduction of rattan elements to lighten the appearance of the wardrobe.
</p>
<h2>Tips on making it your own</h2>
<p>
Since the Victorian interior design style includes lots of raw wood, including oak, pine, teak, and mahogany, this lends itself well to blending with modern Scandinavian styles. A simple way to blend Victorian heritage with modern Scandi style is through the use of a simple colour palette to achieve a simple, functional and inviting home.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/victorian-style-of-decorating-6.jpg" alt="Victorian style of decorating">
</p>
<p>
If your style leans more towards darker decor, you can also lean into the gothic side of Victorian decor, or opt for an industrial style. In short, there are no limits to how you can play with the Victorian interior design theme. It is truly versatile and ready to be shaped to your whims.

<p>There�s no shortage of Edwardian properties on the market. If you�ve recently purchased an Edwardian period property in need of renovation, we have some style tips to share with you. We�re also sharing our favourite <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Traditional+Column">Edwardian radiators</a> to help complete the look.</p>
<h2>Edwardian style homes</h2>
<p>The Edwardian period was a transitional time that marked the first decade of the 20th Century. Named after Queen Victoria�s son Edward II, this period lasted a short time from 1901 to 1910.</p>
<p>It was a period defined by modernisation, as the country said goodbye to the traditions of the Victorian era. Cities were fast expanding and this led to a flurry of development in prominent suburbs.</p>
<p>While tall and narrow Victorian terraces were commonplace, the Edwardian property found space to spread out. These homes typically have a larger footprint, with more spacious rooms and grand entrance ways. Glass was becoming more affordable, so windows were larger and more ornate.</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/edwardian-period-property-design-3.jpg" alt="Edwardian style homes">
</p>
<p>The occupants were middle class families who did not have the funds for servants, so there was no need for basement kitchens and attic bedrooms. The result is shorter properties, usually set over two or three floors. These families also wanted privacy and distance from their neighbours, so the front garden became a common feature.</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/edwardian-period-property-design-5.jpg" alt="Edwardian style homes">
</p>
<p>Perhaps the most iconic examples of this style can be found in the leafy suburbs of London including Dulwich, Hampstead and Blackheath. English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens was busy designing homes and central buildings for the capital during this time and he has firmly left his mark on the region.</p>
<h2>Decorating an Edwardian property</h2>
<p>Edwardian properties are built for living, which is good news for growing families looking for space to spread out. These properties are over 100 years old, so you can expect to have some restoration ahead of you.</p>
<p>If you�ve recently purchased an Edwardian property and are looking for design inspiration to help guide your choices, read on to learn more about the Edwardian design features we adore.</p>
<h3>Bright and airy rooms</h3>
<p>While the home might lack the basement and attic space of Victorian properties, you won�t be short on space. Edwardian properties have a larger footprint, with sprawling rooms and high ceilings.</p>
<p>One of our favourite design features of Edwardian properties is the grand entrance way. It�s common to see wide hallways and staircases which can become a focal point in your design.</p>
<p>Like Victorian homes, tiles are commonplace in the entranceway, which is a low maintenance choice for a busy household. Whether you can restore the original tiles or replace them with sympathetic replicas will all depend on the condition of your home.</p>
<h3>Edwardian radiators</h3>
<p>The move from coal burning fireplaces to cast iron radiators and central heating had a huge impact on interior design. Fireplaces in Edwardian homes are less dominant, so you don�t have to make this the focal point of the room.</p>
<p>If you�re looking to replace original radiators, or if a previous owner has installed modern radiators, we can help you to find the perfect vintage style radiators for your home. Edwardian style radiators will transform the space and provide ample heat for the large rooms, keeping you toasty throughout the colder months.</p>
<p>The most popular Edwardian radiators for your home include the <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Traditional+Column">four column radiator</a> or the <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Princess+%2D+School">two column school radiators</a>. When it comes to colour choices, matt black and cream white are the most popular paint finishes for Edwardian homes.</p>
<p>

</p>
<h3>Focal point windows</h3>
<p>As mentioned above, the Edwardian period was a time of the expanding middle class. Industrialisation was also making things that were once expensive and unaffordable more accessible to more people.</p>
<p>One characteristic of Edwardian homes that we adore is the larger windows. Glazing became cheaper, and larger panes of glass were more accessible. It�s also common to see stained glass feature panels which cast streaks of colour around the room when the sunlight hits them.</p>
<p>Restoring original windows or faithfully reproducing these features will help to retain the charm and the value, so it�s certainly worthwhile doing.</p>
<p>The Art Nouveau movement was popular during the Edwardian period, so you might consider introducing muted colour tones and swirling floral motifs into your design choices.</p>
<p>Art Nouveau is one that is often difficult to replicate because it relies so heavily on architectural features, but your Edwardian property may have the ornate decorative features that are characteristic of this style.</p>
<h3>Spaces made for entertaining</h3>
<p>The larger rooms that are characteristic of Edwardian properties lend themselves to entertaining. If you�re fond of hosting friends and family, the Edwardian property will give you the space you need.</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/edwardian-period-property-design-4.png" alt="spaces made for entertaining">
</p>
<p>Many Edwardian properties will have been extended with lean-to extensions on the rear, creating large kitchen diner spaces that are perfect for entertaining. This is the ideal place to mix traditional with modern, as the extension can bring modern architectural features into your home.</p>
<h3>All in the details</h3>
<p>It�s often the smaller details that make an Edwardian property truly unique and special. You might not spot these at first glance, but living in the property will reveal practical and stylish design features that are perfectly matched to modern life.</p>
<p>Bay windows will create the perfect space for a built-in window bench, while ripping up flooring might reveal original parquet flooring that is ready for restoration. It pays to take your time with an Edwardian property and faithfully restore the features that might need a little TLC.</p>
<p>If you�re looking for door hardware for your home, our sister company <a href="https://www.vintagedoorknobs.co.uk">Vintage Door Knobs</a> can help. You�ll find Edwardian home hardware that will lend a touch of authenticity to your home.</p>

<h1>Using Traditional Radiators As A Design Focal Point</h1>
<p>
One point that we are often keen for customers to understand is that traditional radiators are so much more than just a way to heat your home. Radiators might be an afterthought for many people, or something that needs to be hidden or concealed. But when you choose a classic design like an antique-style radiator, you can afford to make this the centre of attention.
</p>
<p>
Making your radiators the focal point of the room can also help to make them more efficient. If they�re taking a central spot in the room, they�re more likely to enjoy a prominent location with plenty of air flow. This will help to ensure the radiant heat from the radiator is able to spread evenly throughout the room.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/traditonal-radiators-as-a-design-focal-point-1.jpg" alt="traditional radiators as a design focal point">
</p>
<p>
If you�re in the middle of a home renovation and ready to upgrade your home heating system, here are just some of the reasons we think they can and should be the focal point of your decor.
</p>
<h2>It�s true to the era</h2>
<p>
One of the biggest challenges of decorating a period home is attempting to respect the decorating choices of the era, while still making sure your home is practical and efficient. <a href="/">Cast iron radiators</a> are an icon of the Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian eras, so you can decorate with confidence knowing that your design choices are a nod to the times.
</p>
<p>
Having radiators instead of a coal burning fire was a point of pride for homeowners during this time, so they wanted their cast iron radiators to be seen. This is why they often contrast with the wall behind them, rather than choosing similar shades to conceal your antique style radiators.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/traditonal-radiators-as-a-design-focal-point-4.jpg" alt="traditional radiators as a design focal point">
</p>
<h2>They can be beautifully ornate</h2>
<p>
Ornate cast iron radiators are a stunning piece of furniture and the perfect focal point for a room. Highly ornate designs are made to be seen, which is why we recommend choosing a satin paint finish or the antique bronze shade to help highlight the design even further.
</p>
<p>
You can further enhance your selection with the ideal accessories in a range of metallic finishes. For example, we love the satin black radiator with high contrast lacquered brass wall stays. Don�t forget to choose an ornate radiator valve, too.
</p>
<p>
<a href="products.asp?code=CDC-SHT-ASCOT&name=short-ascot-2-column-510mm-cast-iron-radiator">
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/traditonal-radiators-as-a-design-focal-point-3.jpg" alt="Short Ascot Cast Iron Radiator">
</a>
</p>
<h2>Placement is everything</h2>
<p>
If you want to make a bold statement with your radiators, placement is everything. We love a bay window with traditional radiators in the centre. Choose a short and wide design like the traditional 9 column radiator to achieve sufficient BTU for your space, without having to choose a taller model.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/traditonal-radiators-as-a-design-focal-point-2.png" alt="traditional radiators as a design focal point">
</p>
<p>
You could also play with height by selecting a vintage vertical radiator. Our ornate radiators are available in the tallest heights. Multiple vintage vertical radiators can be placed in a room to create symmetry and make this an important part of the visual balance of the room.
</p>
<h2>Adaptable to all decor styles</h2>
<p>
You don�t have to be decorating and renovating in the period style to make the most of this design choice. Cast iron radiators are surprisingly versatile in interior design. We�ve seen cast iron radiators put to work in maximalist to minimalist interiors. They are also adaptable for traditional design or more contemporary spaces. In short, if you�ve got a design theme in mind, there is a traditional radiator colour and style combination that will perfectly suit your interior.
</p>
<h2>Carry on a theme</h2>
<p>
A popular way to draw the eye back to the item you want to showcase is to include similar colours, textures or themes. This could mean pairing a cast iron radiator with a statement piece of artwork to help draw the eye to the radiator. You could also include elements of the same coloured metal throughout the interior. For example, decorating with accents of brass when you have brass wall stays and valves on your radiators. This will help to create cohesion in the design.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/traditonal-radiators-as-a-design-focal-point-5.jpg" alt="traditional radiators as a design focal point">
</p>
<h2>Front and centre</h2>
<p>
An obvious benefit of placing your radiators in a prominent place in the room is that they will be better placed to distribute heat around the space. The room will also appear cosier, as the eye will be drawn to this source of heat. If you don�t have the space, budget or setup that will allow a wood burning stove, the next best thing would be a traditional cast iron radiator that is capable of generating a lot of heat.
</p>
<h2>Contrasting colours</h2>
<p>
One of our favourite design choices in homes is to create contrast between the radiator and its surroundings. Monochromatic interiors will draw the eye to your cast iron radiator and make it a focal point in your interior. Pastel wall shades pair beautifully with a cream radiator. And the antique bronze shade is an ideal choice when paired with darker shades like forest green. You can also pair the solid block colour or a radiator with a heavily patterned wallpaper to create an eye catching finish.

Blog Posts� 8top-5-edwardian-style-radiators-for-your-home-renovation <h1>Top 5 Edwardian Style Radiators For Your Home Renovation</h1>
<p>
Edwardian properties look incredible when paired with our old fashioned style radiators. Choosing radiator styles that are in-keeping with the design period allows you to elevate something that would normally blend into the background and make a bold statement.
</p>
<p>
The Edwardian period is one marked by a growing middle class. Servants were becoming a thing of the past, and homes were built to reflect this. Instead of tall and thin buildings with servants quarters in the attic and basement, Edwardian houses were designed to be shorter and to occupy a larger footprint.
</p>
<p>
The Edwardian period also marked the end of coal fires in the home. The upgrade from messy coal fires to sleek central heating and Edwardian style radiators meant that design choices could be much more flexible.
</p>
<p>
This can be seen in the paint colour choices of the time. Rather than opting for deeper, darker Victorian shades (which hid the coal dust wonderfully) Edwardian decor could make the most of the cleaner environment. Pastel shades were abundant, as were intricate wallpaper choices with delicate florals. Printing techniques made wallpaper more accessible to families
</p>
<h2>Tall Princess 2 Column Radiator In Cream White</h2>
<p>
When we think of vintage style radiators, the classic matt or satin black shade usually springs to mind. But we love a creamy white radiator to make a bold statement. This <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-TALLPRINCESS&name=tall-princess-2-column-760mm-cast-iron-radiator">Tall Princess 2 column radiator</a> is also known as a school radiator. The tall design lends itself well to smaller spaces, or you can supersize your radiator length to warm a large open plan room.
</p>
<p>

<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/tall-princess-2-column-in-cream-white.jpg" alt="Tall Princess 2 Column Radiator In Cream White">
</a>
</p>
<h2>Traditional 3 Column Radiator In Matt Black</h2>
<p>
Perhaps our best selling style is the <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-3C745&name=traditional-victorian-3-column-745mm-cast-iron-radiator">3 column traditional radiator</a> in matt black. This design classic is effortlessly versatile and will suit a range of interior design choices, from traditional cottage core to industrial chic. The narrow design is perfectly suited to hallways and rooms where space is a premium. Matt black is also a hardwearing choice, hiding scuffs and marks, making it ideal for busy households.

</a>
</p>
<h2>Traditional 4 Column Radiator In Gunmetal Grey</h2>
<p>
Another firm customer favourite for those looking for the Edwardian interior look is the <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-760&name=traditional-victorian-4-column-760mm-cast-iron-radiator">traditional 4 column radiator</a> in gunmetal grey. A grey radiator offers lower contrast than solid black, which can make it easier to pair with boldly patterned wallpaper or alongside Edwardian pastel shades of pink or mint green.

</p>
<h2>Art Nouveau 2 Column Cast Iron Radiator In Antique Bronze</h2>
<p>
If you want to make a statement with your Edwardian style radiators, you need the <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-ARTNOU&name=art-nouveau-2-column-750mm-cast-iron-radiator">Art Nouveau</a> collection in your life. Go bold with the antique bronze colourway for a touch of glitz and glamour. Not only will your vintage style radiators heat the space beautifully, but the warm bronze tone will create an incredibly cosy atmosphere. This decorative choice is the ideal statement piece for your Edwardian home.

</p>
<h2>Tall Ascot 2 Column Cast Iron Radiator in Satin Black</h2>
<p>
Another popular decorative radiator choice is the <a href="products.asp?code=CDC-ASCOT&name=tall-ascot-2-column-768mm-cast-iron-radiator">Tall Ascot 2 column radiator</a> in satin black. The satin shade offers a subtle sheen that allows the decorative nature of this radiator design to stand out. If you want to embrace the Edwardian style of ornate and decorative furniture pieces, this tall ascot radiator offers the ideal way forward.

Georgian properties are enduringly popular with those looking for a renovation project. From terraced townhouses to sprawling semi-detached properties, these homes offer plenty of potential for those with the vision and passion to restore them.
</p>
<p>
If you�re embarking on a Georgian property renovation, you may be wondering about how to include authentic radiators that are true to the time period. This simple design choice can elevate a space and make everything feel cohesive and harmonious.
</p>
<p>
Not to mention, <a href="/">cast iron radiators</a> are a highly effective way to heat large spaces with high ceilings. Heating your properly evenly and efficiently will be essential for maintaining the structure and avoiding secondary problems such as dampness from excess moisture.
</p>
<p>
Authentic vintage radiators are made from cast iron, which is a dense and heavy metal. It heats up slowly, and retains the heat for much longer than a thin steel radiator. The result is a steady, radiant heat that continues to warm the space long after your central heating system has been switched off.
</p>
<p>
In this short guide, we�re sharing our favourite tips for decorating a Georgian home with vintage radiators.
</p>
<h2>Planning your floor plan</h2>
<p>
If your current radiators aren�t in the ideal location, you�ll need to move your pipework. This is why we recommend looking to know where you want to place your radiators first, before any other work takes place. This allows for the first fix pipework to be in the correct place. Think about how you plan to use the space, what furniture you need to make space for, and how the light works in the room throughout the day.
</p>
<p>
A common problem with Georgian properties that causes headaches for many homeowners looking to renovate is the lack of usable wall space. Alcoves, pocket doors and fireplaces will often dominate the space, leaving limited space for your radiators. A good solution is often to make these a feature piece under your windows.

</p>
<h2>Treat them like furniture</h2>
<p>
Another excellent tip for decorating with vintage radiators is to treat them like an ornate piece of furniture, rather than a functional piece. Choosing highly decorative styles can help you to see them in this way and even the simpler column styles make an impact statement.
</p>
<p>
Georgian radiators were not designed to be hidden away. They were a point of pride for the homeowner, as they signalled that they no longer rely on their coal stove to heat their home. Embrace this mentality and place your radiators in pride of place in the home.

</p>
<h2>Try contrasting patterns and colours</h2>
<p>
Our vintage radiators pair beautifully with busy patterns and bold colours. Georgian properties have the bone structure to support elegant and opulent choices. In many cases, they are screaming out for relief from the monotony of magnolia paint.
</p>
<p>
There�s nothing we love more than seeing our ornate radiators paired with a densely patterned wallpaper featuring rich jewel tones. If you�re feeling bold, you can contrast patterns across wallpaper and soft furnishings, creating a maximalist effect that will make larger spaces feel very cosy.

</p>
<h2>Embrace the industrial</h2>
<p>
Not all Georgian homes are salvageable. Previous renovations may have expelled any original features, leaving you with a rather large but plain looking shell. In this case, you might find yourself expanding your horizons and thinking outside of the Georgian period for decor inspiration.
</p>
<p>
Heading in a modern or industrial direction is not uncommon for many Georgian homeowners. Think dark wood, neutral tones, straight lines, polished concrete and hard wearing fabrics. Our traditional column radiators are a great choice for this decorating style. Choose shades of black or industrial gunmetal grey to complete the look.

</p>
<h2>Don�t neglect the practical</h2>
<p>
At the start of any renovation project, we recommend working with the floorplan to determine the BTU requirements for every room. We have a handy BTU calculator on every radiator page to help you get started.
</p>
<p>
Once you have your BTU requirements, you�ll know the size of radiator you will need for the space. Shop tall, short or wide radiators that are right for your needs. If your room�s BTU requirement lands between sizes, always go for the larger option and pair with a thermostatic valve so you can control the heat output.
</p>
<h2>Shop traditional radiators for your Georgian renovation</h2>
<p>
Shop a wide range of ornate and traditional radiators to complete your property. While we might call these the finishing touches, in reality your radiators are often the first choice you�ll make in a renovation. Make the right choice for your home with efficient and elegant cast iron radiators from the Cast Iron Radiator Centre.

<p>
Black Friday is finally here, and this means that huge savings to be found. We�re expecting exceptional demand this year, so we recommend you move quickly to avoid disappointment.
</p>
<p>
You could potentially save hundreds on your cast iron radiators, ensuring you can enjoy the best quality radiators for an incredible price. We�re confident you won�t find radiators of the same impeccable quality cheaper anywhere else.
</p>
<p>
If you want your Black Friday to be more Black Fri-Yay we have some helpful tips for you. Follow these steps if you want to make sure you can make the most of our Black Friday Cast Iron Radiator sale. Remember, stocks are limited, and when they�re gone they�re gone!
</p>
<h3>Step one: make a list, and check it twice</h3>
<p>
Now is a great time to make a list of the radiators you will need. Start with your floor plans and calculate the BTU requirements for each room. Once you know the BTU output requirement, you can choose the radiator style that will best match each room.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Read more: <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=understanding-cast-iron-radiator-sizes">Understanding cast iron radiator sizes</a></strong>
</p>
<p>
Remember that radiators come in different heights and can then be customised in the width by selecting the number of sections. This means that lots of different combinations could achieve the same BTU requirements.
</p>
<p>
We recommend making a list of the radiators that you want now so that you�re ready to make your selection when the Black Friday VIP sale goes live. We�re expecting exceptional demand this year, so we don�t want you to be disappointed! Stock is limited, so move quickly if you want to secure your dream radiators!

</p>
<h3>Step two: choose your radiator colours</h3>
<p>
We recommend choosing finished radiators rather than the unpainted radiators that only have a base coat. With the base coat only, you�ll need to arrange for these to be professionally painted at a later date which can be more costly and disruptive.
</p>
<p>
Cast iron radiators are heavy, so transporting them to a facility where they can be professionally painted could be a complicated extra step. By choosing your radiator colours now, you�ll have one less thing to worry about further down the line.
</p>

</p>
<h3>Step three: choose your accessories</h3>
<p>
Your Black Friday discount code is valid across all products on our site, which means you can also save on accessories. Start exploring the valves, wall stays, pipe shrouds and touch up paint you will need for your cast iron radiator transformation.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Read more: <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=manual-or-thermostatic-valves">Manual or thermostatic valves</a></strong>
</p>
<p>
We always recommend adding a can of touch up paint to your order so you can quickly cover any scuffs or marks that appear during the installation. This is the best way to ensure your home is looking beautiful when you�ve finished your restoration!

<h3>Step four: book your plumber</h3>
<p>
Dreaming of having your radiators installed before Christmas? There�s still time, but you�ll need to be quick. Plumbers tend to book up around this time of year as central heating systems are put under extra strain when they are fired up for the first time in a while.
</p>
<p>
Orders that are guaranteed for delivery before Christmas will be limited, so you�ll have to move quickly if this is important to you. The website will tell you the current anticipated despatch time when you place your order. This lead time is real time, so a true reflection of when we will be able to get your order on the road to you.

VU�� � h�rg.uk/static/uploaded/a5d0902f-aef3-4794-9bab50bf9cf97b20.pdf">BEAMA teamed up with the University of Salford</a> to investigate the energy saving benefits of installing TRVs over manual valves. The University of Salford has a test home in a sealed chamber. Researchers can change the �outdoor� temperature within the chamber and see what impact this has on the temperature inside the home.
</p>
<p>
The home is a traditional two-up, two-down Victorian solid wall property known as the Energy House. The boiler thermostat was set to 70°C and the timer was set to a 14-hour schedule. The external temperature of the home was tested at 4.5°C, 6.5°C, 8.9°C, 11.7°C and 14.6°C, to replicate a range of conditions you might expect throughout the UK.
</p>
<p>
After a control test with no thermostatic radiator valves, the TRVs were added and the test was repeated.
</p>
<p>
The researchers found that the TRVs delivered energy saving results at every temperature. The biggest savings were found at 14.6°C when the TRVs delivered 41% savings on energy consumption.
</p>
<ul>
<li>4.5°C � TRVs saved 14% on energy consumption</li>
<li>6.5°C � TRVs saves 19% on energy consumption</li>
<li>8.9°C � TRVs saves 18% on energy consumption</li>
<li>11.7°C � TRVs saves 28% on energy consumption</li>
<li>14.6°C � TRVs saves 41% on energy consumption</li>
</ul>
<p class="text-center"><a href="https://www.beama.org.uk/static/uploaded/a5d0902f-aef3-4794-9bab50bf9cf97b20.pdf">Read the full study and conclusions</a>.</p>
<p>
This isn�t the only study that confirms the benefits of TRVs. According to the Energy Saving Trust, using thermostatic valves is one of their key bits of advice to help you to make your central heating as economical as possible.
</p>
<h2>How do TRVs save energy?</h2>
<p>
The TRVs were able to deliver these savings by reducing the load on the boiler by preventing overheating (effectively heating a room that doesn�t require heating or heating to a temperature higher than required) in individual rooms. By reducing instances of overheating, you can reduce the number of times your boiler needs to fire up to keep you comfortable.
</p>
<p>
The study also noted that the savings potential would be even higher in homes with oversized radiators. If you have a large cast iron radiator that exceeds the <a href="products.asp?page=btucalculator">BTU requirements</a> for your room, then you can prevent overheating by including a TRV valve.
</p>
<p>
We generally don�t recommend <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=understanding-cast-iron-radiator-sizes">oversizing your radiators</a>, but if you need to for any design or practical purposes - e.g. can�t move existing pipework, then you should certainly include TRVs to help avoid room overheating as this could cause your energy bills to spiral.

<h2>Shop the TRV valve collection</h2>
<p>
Thankfully, we offer vintage-style TRVs that look perfectly in place alongside our vintage style radiators. You don�t have to settle for plastic TRVs that will stick out like a sore thumb.

We love the weight and feel of the Kenilworth Antique Brass Thermostatic Valve Set. Antique brass is a beautifully warm-toned metal and pairs beautifully with all radiator styles, from ornate to traditional. The black solid wood wheel head offers a stunningly beautiful finish.

<p>
Another beautiful choice is the Loxley Antique Brass Gothic Thermostatic Radiator Valve Set which offers an elegant crocus style head with scrolling on the lockshield.

Greg is cut from a different cloth. Not your traditional property developer, Greg describes himself as an eternal optimist blessed with the �how hard can it be� gene. He has a genuine passion for learning and discovery, paired with a sturdy belief in his ability to do a half decent job of anything � except plastering.

Life took him down to Devon, so his home in Darlington was sold. He was on the hunt for his next home when he stumbled across Admirals House and arranged a viewing, �to get it out of my system, of course�. While Greg might be the eternal optimist, he is also realistic and level-headed. He recognised that the property was, to put it kindly, �absolutely knackered�.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
Still, it had obvious potential and was �absolutely crying out for someone to love her.� He submitted a low ball offer, hoping that the universe would make the decision for him and allow him to walk away. But the universe had other plans. After some back and forth, and the sale almost falling through entirely, the estate agent handed him the keys and he officially became the new custodian of Admirals House � pigeons and all.
</p>
<h2>Introducing Admirals House</h2>
<p>
Built in 1804 to house the inspector general of the Royal Naval Hospital and his staff, Admirals House had seen numerous residents come and go, each one adding a fresh layer of magnolia paint over the original Georgian features.
</p>
<p>
The near derelict Georgian mansion offers 8,200 square feet to play with, with 30 rooms set out over 5 floors. But if you ask Greg, it�s really just a rather spacious four-bedroom house. From the outset, Greg could see the potential in the floorplans. Documenting the process on Instagram has allowed us all to follow his progress over the years.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/man-with-a-hammer-admiral-house-outside.jpg" alt="Man with a Hammer - Admirals House outside">
</p>
<p>
Greg first got in touch with the Cast Iron Radiator Centre to find out about sourcing traditional cast iron radiators for the home. Heating a home of this scale is no doubt daunting, but a combination of wood burning stoves and highly efficient cast iron radiators allows him to heat the rooms individually.
</p>

</p>
<p>
We recently sat down with Greg to talk about the power of social media, how he found his decorating style, and some practical tips for using cast iron radiators in your renovation.
</p>
<h2>Social media and the power of community</h2>
<p>
Documenting his journey on social media, Greg has amassed over 300,000 engaged followers. He makes a point to reply to every comment and every message, offering advice and encouragement where he can.
</p>
<p>
Since his first post in December 2016, Greg has seen the social network change and evolve. But rather than chase followers and engagement, he takes a more authentic approach. Asked about the pressure to feed the beast with more content, and to adapt his content to the algorithm, it was clear that he has managed to sidestep the darker side of social media.
</p>
<p>
�I'm slow because renovating takes a lot of time when you do it yourself in a house this size and this age. I post once a week � if I'm lucky. I've deliberately been quite a grumpy old man about a lot of that sort of thing.
</p>
<p>
My account hasn�t soared in the way that some others have, but to the ones that have found me and like what I do, I think it has integrity and authenticity, which is really important to me and the kind of work that I'm doing.�
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/man-with-a-hammer-admiral-house-progress.jpg" alt="Man with a Hammer - Admirals House progress">
</p>
<p>
Likewise, Greg has found the social media space to be � on the whole � a supportive and encouraging space. �It feels just like a really nice community, and people are really helpful and you can learn and you can share ideas.
</p>
<p>
You can also just share when things aren't going to plan, and something's leaked, or something's broken, or you find rot. It can be quite cathartic to see people going through the same challenges.�
</p>
<p>
His commitment to social media has not only amassed him support, but it has also allowed him to quit the day job, giving him time to run his Instagram account � which is of itself a full time job � whilst still finding time to renovate Admirals House. Far from an overnight success story, Greg�s journey on social media is a testament to remaining true to yourself and sharing from an authentic place.
</p>
<h2>On finding his style</h2>
<p>His relationship with social media is not just about connecting with a community. It also provides a visual document of the evolution of his style. Scroll back to his first property renovation, and you�ll see a home decorated confidently with solid colours and statement furniture pieces. Fast forward to the latest posts from Admirals House, and you can see that Greg has clearly found his stride with interior design.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
�The house has definitely made me braver, in particular with patterns. I've discovered I really like patterns and I really like colour, but mainly I like listening to the house and the age and the period of the house and the architecture. I don't want to be a slave to it. I don't want it to be a museum. But at the same time, my starting point is always the architecture and the period of the house. If your starting point is something that is period appropriate, it's going to look right.�
</p>
<p>
In terms of practical steps he takes to land on the final decor scheme for a room, he revealed that it is often more organic than planned.
</p>
<p>
�My starting point is usually the wallpaper or the colour of the walls and then the actual layout of the room. I'll work out where the furniture is going, how I want to use it, where I'm going to be sitting, what I�m going to be looking at, how I�m going to move through the space. And then the rest just comes together naturally.
</p>
<p>
I'll get to work, and I won't worry about having to choose the curtains until I've got the wallpaper up, because I can then see the space with the wallpaper up. And then I can make the decision much more informed than just looking at a little swatch.�
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/man-with-a-hammer-admiral-house-lounge.jpg" alt="Man with a Hammer - Admirals House lounge">
</p>
<p>
This method is clearly one that has proven successful, and one that he would recommend if you don�t possess an interior designer�s capacity for planning ahead.
</p>
<h2>Cast iron advice</h2>
<p>
It would be remiss of us to not round out our conversation with a little chat about how Greg has put his radiators from the Cast Iron Radiator Centre to work in Admirals House. When designing a space, Greg starts with the floorplans, and this will usually mean that he has to decide the placement of the radiators first.
</p>
<p>
Greg shared one horror story of the radiators he found in Admirals House when he was handed the keys. �They were really horrible, 1960s kind of stamped steel radiators. They were knackered and had been painted a million times.�
</p>
<p>
It wasn�t just the layers of magnolia gloss he found offensive; the placement also caused some distress. �There was this beautiful, original Georgian marble fireplace, and they drilled into that fireplace surround to hang a radiator directly in front of the fireplace. Absolutely insane.�
</p>
<p>
Thankfully, we were able to step in with some suitable upgrades. �It made complete sense to use a radiator that was period appropriate. They�re just beautiful objects in their own right. They are actually attractive things to look at, and they still allow you to see the architecture behind them. As well as being thermally efficient and giving off a really nice radiant heat. It made complete sense. They look like they've always been there.�
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
To finish our chat, I asked if he had any advice for our customers thinking about including cast iron radiators in their property renovation, and thankfully he had plenty.
</p>
<p>
�You need to be thinking about radiators almost before anything else. You really have to think about the use of the space and also, obviously getting the pipes to those radiators is something you need to be doing quite early on.
</p>
<p>
Try to see them as part of the scheme. Don't see them as an afterthought. Remember that they can become really, really beautiful things in their own right, and something that will enhance the scheme.�
</p>

</p>
<h2>On to the next chapter</h2>
<p>
Admirals House is a long-term work in progress. At the time of our chat, Greg was preparing to get started on the lower floor of the house. This started with uncovering the original cook�s hearth hidden behind layers of plasterboard and in-built shelving.
</p>
<p>
Uncovering this was clearly a source of excitement for Greg, but also added months to the estimated timescale for completing the project. We look forward to following along as Greg continues his renovation journey, and we�re excited to see how he includes cast iron radiators in the rest of the house.
</p>
<h2>Read his story: Man With A Hammer: From Forgotten Wreck To Forever Home</h2>
<p>
The book is a beautiful source of inspiration for anyone thinking about embarking on a property renovation journey. It is packed with visual references, practical advice and a healthy dose of realism about what is really involved. Greg invites you to go beyond the highlights reel and see the passion and hard work that goes into period property restoration.

<p>
The start of a new year is a highly symbolic time for many people. It�s a chance to refresh and renew old habits, kick start new projects and start working towards your goals. A quick browse on Instagram will reveal that countless people up and down the UK are getting stuck into renovation projects.
</p>
<p>
Restoring a period property is a hugely rewarding task. Whether you are designing your dream forever home or you�re planning to turn the property into an upscale short-term rental, it can be a fun and rewarding creative challenge to see the potential in a run down and neglected home.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/interior-design-project-1.jpg" alt="planning an interior design project">
</p>
<p>
If you�re delaying the start of a renovation project because you�re not sure how to get started, we�re here to help. There are a few reasons that January is the absolute perfect time to get started with your home renovation, starting with�
</p>
<h2>Make the most of the sales</h2>
<p>
You can save money on your renovation by shopping the sales for the items you need. Even if you save some of the projects for warmer months, you could save money by purchasing items while they are on sale.
</p>
<p>
We�re currently offering 10% off all radiator valves and accessories with any radiator purchase. But you�ll have to move quickly, as this offer ends on Friday 31st January 2025 at midnight!
</p>
<p class="text-center"><a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares">Shop Accessories With Discount Code WARM10</a></p>
<h2>Get a fresh perspective</h2>
<p>
Let�s face it, everything looks bare without the Christmas tree. When you take down your Christmas decorations, your home can look barren, empty and even a little run down. This is an ideal time to start planning a stunning home makeover.
</p>
<p>
So if your home is feeling a little drab without the sparkle and lights of the festive season, now is a great time to start looking for inspiration. Have you <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/castironradcen/">visited our Pinterest boards yet</a>? We share tons of inspiration for period home renovation, so get pinning!
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/interior-design-project-2.png" alt="planning an interior design project">
</p>
<h2>Perfect pacing</h2>
<p>
When you�re living in the home you plan to renovate, you need to tackle it one room at a time. Starting in January will allow you to pace yourself throughout the year, so your home is looking stunning for next Christmas.
</p>
<p>
If you wait until the Summer months to start, you might find yourself on a tight deadline to get those final projects over the line. Starting in January will help you to budget throughout the year and avoid loading the bulk of the work into the Autumn months.
</p>
<p>
Spring and summer is always the best time to upgrade your radiators, as this is when you are least likely to be using your central heating system.
</p>
<h2>Good contractor availability</h2>
<p>
Many contractors will be quieter at this time of year, so you can increase your chances of securing your first choice. Many will be booking for 2025 and beyond, so now is the perfect time to enquire and get your quotes.
</p>
<p>
Booking ahead is great for you, as it will help to keep your renovation plans on track. And it�s great news for the contractor, as they can plan ahead for the year.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<h2>Need help choosing the right radiators for your home?</h2>
<p>
We recommend starting every room renovation with the radiators. Decide where you will place them, and the height and width restrictions, and then the rest of the elements of the space will fall into place around this.
</p>
<p>
Next, calculate your <a href="products.asp?page=btucalculator">BTU requirements</a>. This is essential as it will help to ensure your radiators are big enough to heat the space without wasting energy.
</p>
<p>
Finally, choose the colour and style. This is the fun part! We stock a wide range of traditional and ornate radiators in a selection of classic colours. Learn more about <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=cast-iron-radiator-colours">traditional cast iron radiator colours</a>.

Blog Posts� are-retro-radiators-eco-friendly@ <h1>Are Retro Radiators Eco Friendly?</h1>
<p>
When it comes to renovating a home, you want to be sure you�re not just making choices that are good for your wallet and aesthetically pleasing. You also want to be sure that your choices are going to be kind to the planet.
</p>
<p>
You might be concerned that retro radiators might not be the best choice for your home. After all, hasn�t radiator design come a long way since the Victorian era? Surely those retro style radiators can�t be the best choice for your home.
</p>
<p>
The good news is that retro cast iron radiators are enduringly popular for a reason. They look the part, they�re incredibly efficient, and they are durable and long-lasting. All of this adds up to a better choice for your home, whether you are renovating your first home or your forever home.
</p>
<h2>Are retro radiators efficient?</h2>
<p>
Retro cast iron radiators make the most of the thermodynamic properties of iron. They heat up more slowly than steel panel radiators, but once they reach their peak temperature, they retain this heat for much longer.
</p>
<p>
Contrast this to steel radiators, which heat up quickly and then disperse their heat and cool down. These radiators disperse the heat to the air around them, and this can be quickly lost in cold draughts.
</p>
<p>
With retro radiators, the radiator continues to heat the air around it for much longer, even after you�ve switched off your central heating. This can allow you to keep your home at a consistently comfortable temperature, without having to keep firing up your central heating.
</p>
<p>
When you pair retro radiators with <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves&subcat=Thermostatic">thermostatic radiator valves</a>, you can enjoy even greater efficiency. Rather than manually choosing between �on� or �off�, TRVs allow you to set the central temperature for your home, and for each individual room. This allows for far greater efficiency in how you heat your home.
</p>

</p>
<h2>Are retro radiators cost-effective?</h2>
<p>
Another consideration when replacing radiators is the lifetime value of the upgrade. If you need to replace your radiators earlier than expected, this will obviously be less beneficial for the environment.
</p>
<p>
Thankfully, cast iron retro radiators are incredibly durable and long-lasting. Cast iron is strong and resistant to knocks and damage. This means you can confidently install them in your home without worrying about having to replace them in a few years.
</p>
<p>
With the right maintenance, your cast iron radiators will last for decades. It�s vital to choose a reputable cast iron radiator manufacturer with a track record for excellence. Check out our <a href="products.asp?page=reviews">reviews</a> to see feedback from our happy customers.
</p>
<h2>Are retro radiators a timeless style?</h2>
<p>
Another consideration when choosing renovation options for your home is whether you are choosing timeless styles or if it might be a short-lived trend. Short-lived trends might work in terms of paint colours or soft furnishings, as you can easily update these with the trends.
</p>
<p>
But when it comes to more important home decor decisions, like your radiators, you want to make sure that you are opting for a timeless style choice. Thankfully, retro radiators are always popular and look stunning in period properties and modern properties alike.
</p>
With a choice of classic colours, including matt and satin black, gun metal grey, bronze and cream, you can choose the right radiators for your style. These design choices form the basis on which all other design choices will rest on, which is why it�s a great idea to choose a retro style. When decorating a period property, choosing styles that are authentic to the time period will always look well placed.

</p>
<h2>Are retro radiators suitable for recycling?</h2>
<p>
If you have old cast iron radiators in your property that have reached the end of their life, you don�t have to send them to landfill. Iron is one of the world�s most recyclable materials, and it is always in demand.
</p>
<p>
In principle, all iron can be recycled infinitely, as it doesn�t lose its properties that make it valuable and useful. So, if you�ve purchased a property with original cast iron radiators, you can always take these to a scrap yard to be recycled and turned into something useful.

Renovating a property is a mammoth task, and one that often requires compromises and careful budgeting. You�ll make do with some things, whereas others might be more pressing. The decision to replace radiators is often a difficult one.
</p>
<p>
If you�re not happy with the way your radiators look, you might paint them or cover them in an attempt to conceal them. We think that a far better solution would be to replace them with something that you adore.
</p>
<p>
Antique style radiators can help to transform your home and bring a touch of authenticity to your renovation. They are also highly efficient, excellent value, and a stunning style choice. Rather than seeing these as an eyesore that you need to hide, you can treat them as a piece of furniture and a focal point of your decor.
</p>
<p>
Here are 5 reasons you might consider replacing old and outdated radiators in your home with beautiful antique style radiators.
</p>
<h2> 1. Antique style radiators are efficient</h2>
<p>
Our antique style radiators offer all of the benefits of cast iron, which is perfect when paired with highly efficient central heating systems complete with thermostatic radiator valves. Cast iron heats up a little slower, but definitely retains the heat for much longer, allowing you to enjoy a cosy and comfortable home while saving money on your energy bills.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=energy-saving-benefits-of-trvs">thermostatic radiator valves</a> increase efficiency by monitoring the temperature in the room and turning the radiator on and off based on your thermostat temperature.

<h2> 2. Cast iron radiators are durable</h2>
<p>
When making big changes to your home, you want to invest in quality and durable items. Our cast iron radiators offer incredible value for money, as they are both cost-effective and durable. When considering the lifetime value of investing in cast iron radiators, the numbers certainly add up. Cast iron radiators are also a key selling point should you decide to sell your home, so it could help you to secure a buyer who falls in love with the timeless style.
</p>
<h2> 3. Style will adapt to your home decor</h2>
<p>
Worried that antique style radiators won�t fit with your home decor choices? These radiators are incredibly versatile and will always look the part. They are perfectly aligned with period properties, allowing you to achieve an authentic finish, while also looking great in modern homes.

</p>
<h2> 4. Built for performance</h2>
<p>
They might offer vintage styling, but our cast iron radiators are thoroughly modern and come with a <a href="products.asp?page=fittingguidelines">10-year guarantee</a> for added peace of mind. Old radiators are commonly filled with rust and sludge from internal corrosion. This impacts the performance of your central heating system and will make your boiler work harder to heat your home.
</p>
<p>
Replacing with antique style radiators that are treated with an inhibitor during installation will help to reduce internal corrosion and keep your boiler working efficiently. Sourcing parts for original radiators could also be difficult, which is why replacing them with modern alternatives can often be the best choice.
</p>
<h2> 5. Better for the environment</h2>
<p>
When choosing home decor upgrades, it�s important to choose durable items that will stand the test of time. Whether you�re decorating your first home or your forever home, the choice is easy. Antique style radiators from the Cast Iron Radiator Centre offer a cost-effective and durable choice for your home.
</p>
<p>
With the right care and maintenance, your radiators will provide energy-efficient heat for years to come. And when they eventually reach the end of their life, cast iron radiators can be recycled and the material can be reused. In the words of Vivienne Westwood, �Buy less, choose well, make it last�.

Blog Posts� !nail-the-traditional-design-trend7 <h1>Nail The Transitional Design Trend With Our Best Selling Styles</h1>
<p>
Perhaps the most difficult part of <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=ideal-time-for-planning-an-interior-design-project">decorating your home</a> is deciding on your style. Settling on a style can help to refine your choices while also introducing a sense of cohesion throughout your home.
</p>
<p>
When decorating a period property such as a <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=victorian-style-of-decorating">Victorian</a> or <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=top-5-edwardian-style-radiators-for-your-home-renovation">Edwardian</a> home, you might feel obliged to adhere to the design principles of the time. There is a logic to this approach, as allowing the original features to shine through can make it much easier to make some of the bigger design decisions.
</p>
<p>
But this approach can feel stifling; particularly if it means that you have to avoid certain styles that you love just to feel like you are honouring the origins of the property. If this sounds like a struggle you�re having, then we have the ideal solution for you.
</p>
<p>
Transitional design offers the ideal blend of traditional and modern, allowing you to be more flexible in your decor. This flexibility is a refreshing approach that could be just the palette cleanser you need to update your home.
</p>
<p>
If you�re suffering from decision paralysis and your Pinterest boards are lacking a sense of cohesion, this trend could give you the permission you need to mix up your styles with confidence.
</p>
<h2>Transitional design explained</h2>
<p>
The term transitional is generally used in interior design to describe any space that blends two aesthetics. If you�re looking for flexibility in your approach to decor, then transitional design is the way forward.
</p>
<p>
It�s a great option for those on a budget who might have to make the most of second-hand pieces that might not be their first choice. Or if you have inherited vintage furniture you would like to use, but you don�t want to feel trapped in a traditional aesthetic.
</p>
<p>
The elements of transitional design typically include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Neutral colour palettes</li>
<li>Pops of colour from artwork and soft furnishings</li>
<li>Organic textures and layering</li>
<li>A combination of clean lines and organic curves</li>
<li>Statement lighting and metallic hues</li>
<li>Comfortable and practical furniture</li>
</ul>
<h2>How do our best-selling styles fit in?</h2>
<p>
Our best selling cast iron radiator is the <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Traditional+Column">4-column traditional radiator</a> in Matt Black or Gunmetal Grey. The taller model is perfect for entrances, hallways and kitchens, while the shorter model often finds itself at home under windows in bedrooms and lounges.
</p>
<p>
This is a versatile and flexible design choice for your home, combining traditional designs with a modern, industrial look. Pairing your cast iron radiators with the right valves and pipe shrouds can further enhance the look, as metallic accents are a key component of the transitional style.
</p>
<p>
It�s also an opportunity to play with texture and shape. By introducing the traditional 4 column cast iron radiator, you�re bringing sleek lines and hard texture into the space. This can be balanced with soft textures and curved lines. Another popular choice is the <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=Princess+%2D+School">Tall Princess 2 Column Cast Iron Radiator</a>.

<h2>Final thoughts on transitional design</h2>
<p>
Our favourite thing about the transitional design trend is that it�s a perfect reminder that interior design should be fun. It should be an opportunity to create a space that reflects your taste and your journey. Ultimately, you are creating a space that is a sanctuary from the outside world, so don�t be afraid to break a few rules.

Blog Posts� !vintage-cast-iron-radiator-covers� <h1>Vintage Cast Iron Radiator Covers: When You Need One � and When You Don�t</h1>
<p>
The cast iron radiator cover is a relic from another time, but homeowners are still curious about whether this feature is necessary. For the record, we don�t recommend cast iron radiator covers for our radiators. Cast iron radiators are a stylish addition to your decor, so why would you want to cover them up?
</p>
<p>
In this guide, we�re looking at where this trend started, how it has evolved, and the alternatives to covering your cast iron radiators today. This should help you to determine if you even need to cover your radiators, or if you can make them a focal point of your interiors.
</p>
<h2>A brief history of cast iron radiator covers</h2>
<p>
Cast iron radiator covers came into vogue in the 19th Century. Radiators of the time were bulky and had complex and unsightly pipework. It�s also worth noting that these radiators were often heated with steam, which meant they got incredibly hot. To save residents from scalding temperatures, homeowners would cover their radiators to provide some protection against burns.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/vintage-cast-iron-radiator-covers-1.jpg" alt="vintage cast iron radiator covers 1">
</p>
<p>
These covers were often made from wood or metal and had mesh screens and highly decorative fretwork. The more ornate, the better. These became a status symbol, and a sign of a sophisticated and refined home.
</p>
<p>
As trends in radiators shifted towards gas-powered central heating and aluminium panel radiators, covers remained popular in homes trying to achieve a vintage look. By using a cover, it wasn�t clear what type of radiators you were covering, so you could have original cast iron radiators.
</p>
<p>
Today, radiator covers might be used to hide unsightly radiators, so we don�t think they�re relevant for modern cast iron radiators. Our radiators are intended to be part of the decor, so covering them seems counterintuitive. Minimal pipework and refined designs make our radiators something to shout about, not something to hide.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/vintage-cast-iron-radiator-covers-2.jpg" alt="vintage cast iron radiator covers 2">
</p>
<h2>Do you need a cast iron radiator cover?</h2>
<p>
In short, you don�t need cast iron radiator covers. Modern radiators look the part and also offer safety upgrades that mean you don�t need to worry about them getting too hot.
</p>
<p>
Perhaps the only benefit you might enjoy from covering your cast iron radiators would be minimal cleaning. A covered radiator won�t collect as much dust � or this dust will at least be less visible.
</p>
<p>
We prefer to grab a radiator brush and give them a good clean once a month rather than cover them up. Dust build-up on your radiators can make them less effective, so cleaning is far better than covering.
</p>
<h2>Popular ways to minimise a cast iron radiator</h2>
<p>
Perhaps you�re thinking about a radiator cover because you want to minimise the radiator in your interior design scheme. Thankfully, there are simple ways you can incorporate cast iron radiators into any room, even if the space is awkward or difficult.
</p>
<p>
We love the way Greg Penn from @ManWithAHammer has made cast iron radiators a feature in this room by placing them underneath a window seat. We�ll take a cosy window seat over a radiator cover any day!
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/vintage-cast-iron-radiator-covers-3.jpg" alt="vintage cast iron radiator covers 3">
</p>
<p>
In this serene bedroom, the radiator is placed in an unused space in the bay window. This is a highly efficient spot to place your radiators, as it helps to reduce heat loss from the room. It also makes use of a difficult space, while also creating a visual focal point.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/reasons-to-replace-old-radiators-1.jpg" alt="Traditional Column Radiator">
</p>
<h2>What are the disadvantages of radiator covers?</h2>
<p>
Covering your radiator will reduce the heat output and prevent air from circulating around the radiator. Cast iron radiators work by ambiently heating the space around them, so they don�t need air currents as much as a modern panel radiator. To maximise the benefits of a modern cast iron radiator, it�s best to leave them uncovered.
</p>
<p>
The radiator cover could also interfere with your thermostatic radiator valves. The cover will retain the heat under the cover, making the TRVs think that the room is much warmer than it is. This could lead your TRVs to switch off before the room has reached the desired heat.
</p>
<p>
If you�re set on covering your radiators with vintage cast iron radiator covers, make sure you clean them regularly to help them to work as efficiently as possible. You should also ensure sufficient clearance on the top of the radiator so the cover doesn�t overheat and become a hazard.
</p>

Blog Posts spotlight-on-gunmetal-grey� <h1>Spotlight On Gunmetal Grey: A Versatile and Dynamic Shade</h1>
<p>
We love a versatile bit of furniture. Something that plays with the light and forces a fresh perspective throughout the day. While you might think of radiators as being static and just a little bit boring, we believe they can be just as much a part of the decor as any other piece of furniture in your home.
</p>
<p>
We offer metallic, matt and satin shades to suit a range of interiors. Our <a href="products.asp?page=blog&name=cast-iron-radiator-colours">cast iron radiator colours</a> are sympathetic to the style and effortlessly timeless. So, rather than choosing a colour that might look a little dated in a few years, you can opt for a hard-wearing and versatile colour that blends seamlessly with your interiors.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/spotlight-on-gunmetal-grey-1.jpg" alt="spotlight on Gunmetal Grey 1">
</p>
<p>
Like the antique bronze shade, gunmetal grey is a subtly shimmering shade that can look very different depending on the light. It�s one of our favourite things about this colour selection, as it transforms the radiator into a dynamic element in your home.
</p>
<h2>About gunmetal grey</h2>
<p>
Gunmetal grey is a deep grey shade often compared to anthracite or slate grey. It�s a cool-toned shade with a subtle metallic finish that helps to reflect the light and elevate the radiator colour.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/spotlight-on-gunmetal-grey-2.jpg" alt="spotlight on Gunmetal Grey 2">
</p>
<p>
Don�t worry, it�s not an intense glitter finish, but the paint contains metallic particles which result in a subtle sheen. It�s also not a glossy finish, as the surface of the cast iron is textured to prevent this.
</p>
<p>
You�ll notice in photographs that this shade can look light grey to deep grey depending on the lighting. It�s a lot like the antique bronze in this respect, which can also appear to be bright gold or muted brown.
</p>
<p>
On the ornate radiator styles, the metallic finish helps to enhance the design as it emphasises the relief of the design by creating highlights and lowlights.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/spotlight-on-gunmetal-grey-3.jpg" alt="spotlight on Gunmetal Grey 3">
</p>
<p>
We recommend ordering <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares&subcat=Paint+Finish+Samples">paint finish samples</a> if you�re not sure how this will look in your home. This is far better than relying on computer and phone screens, which can make colours appear very different to how they will look in real life.
</p>
<h2>Why we love gunmetal grey</h2>
<p>
From a pure maintenance perspective, we love this shade for its ability to hide the dust and marks. But the perks of the gunmetal grey go way beyond this.
</p>
<p>
It�s a cool-toned shade that works well in both modern and traditional interiors. The deep colour allows the radiator to blend into the background, but the hint of metallic elevates the shade and draws the eye, particularly when the light catches it.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/spotlight-on-gunmetal-grey-4.jpg" alt="spotlight on Gunmetal Grey 4">
</p>
<h2>A note on radiator paint colours</h2>
<p>
We don�t offer every colour under the sun for a very good reason � by sticking to a carefully selected palette of versatile colours, we can pass the savings on to our customers. This is why we�re up to 40% cheaper than our competitors.
</p>
<p>
If you have your heart set on a particular shade, you are welcome to order your radiators with a primer only and arrange to have them painted in a custom shade.
</p>
<p>
But the vast majority of customers are happy with our versatile choice of paint colours. Black, Grey, Cream and Bronze offer a mix of warm and cool tones that are adaptable to any interior.
</p>
<p>
Our two best selling shades are Gunmetal Grey followed closely by Matt Black. Of course, you don�t have to be swayed by what is popular. If you have a vision for your home, we can help you to bring it to life with stunning cast iron radiators that look the part and stand the test of time.

Blog Posts 2antique-bronze-radiator-how-to-make-the-colour-pop@ <h1>Antique Bronze Radiator: How To Make The Colour *Pop*</h1>
<p>
Perhaps one of the biggest mysteries we have to contend with here at CIRC HQ is our antique bronze radiator. This colour-changing chameleon can look completely different depending on the placement and its surroundings.
</p>
<p>
While this can lead to some confusion when unpacking the radiator for the first time, rest assured it�s definitely the right colour. It just happens to be a hugely versatile choice that can look different depending on factors such as the lighting.
</p>
<p>
In some lights, the antique bronze shade looks like a bright gold shade, and in others it takes on a moodier, deep mocha hue. Depending on which way your room is facing, it can look different throughout the day � such is the beauty of colour theory.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/antique-bronze-radiator-1.jpg" alt="Antique Bronze radiator 1">
</p>
<p>
If you�ve seen our antique bronze radiator looking brassy and bright and want to know how to replicate this look, read on to learn our top tips to help the colour pop with lustre. There are also ways to place this radiator in your home to achieve a more subdued finish, with a deep mocha shade.
</p>
<h2>Introducing the antique bronze shade</h2>
<p>
Antique bronze is a deep brown shade with a subtle metallic satin finish that helps to reflect the light. The surface of the cast iron radiator is not perfectly smooth, so it never achieves a polished or glossy finish, but the look is still incredibly lustrous. Under studio lights, the finish is almost golden
and offers a decadent look � particularly when you choose an ornate radiator style.
</p>
<p>
In darker rooms or without direct light on the radiator, this stunning shade takes on a deep mocha hue. It�s an ideal choice for a cosy living space with mid-century modern influences, as it adds to the sophisticated and warming colour palette. If this is the look you�re going for, choose a simpler design with sleek lines like the traditional 4-column cast iron radiator.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/antique-bronze-radiator-2.jpg" alt="Antique Bronze radiator 2">
</p>
<h2>How placement impacts the bronze shade</h2>
<p>
Where you are planning to place your radiator will have a big impact on the appearance of the colour. If you would like to achieve a bright, golden shade that truly pops, we recommend the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Consider placing opposite/adjacent to direct light from windows</li>
<li>Place the radiator in a larger room as this will increase the light</li>
<li>Consider using it in a south-facing room to make the most of the sunlight</li>
<li>Keep the area uncluttered and fuss-free to keep emphasis on the radiator</li>
<li>Think about secondary lighting around the radiator to enhance the colour</li>
<li>Pair it with gold or brass valves and shrouds to enhance the shine</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you love the deeper, moodier look of the deep mocha shade, we recommend the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Consider placing your radiator under windows so that direct light flows over radiator rather than directly on it</li>
<li>Place the radiator in a smaller space such as an entranceway</li>
<li>Place it in a north-facing room, or under the window in a south-facing room</li>
</ul>
<h2>How background impacts the bronze shade</h2>
<p>
It�s not only the room placement and the surroundings that will allow you to enhance to minimise the lustre of the radiator. The wall you place it against will also impact the shade. Contrasting with darker shades will place the emphasis on the radiator, which can help to increase the brightness when paired with natural light or secondary lighting.
</p>
<p>
Against a light wall in a warm shade, the radiator will often look darker, which can help to downplay the gold hues if this isn�t something you would like to emphasise.
</p>
<h2>How can you tell how it will look in your home?</h2>
<p>
If you aren�t sure about the colour or the placement, we recommend ordering a bush end paint sample. These are small radiator parts painted with the exact same finish that we use on our radiators. This is the best way to see how the radiator shade will look in your home so you can try the placement in different areas.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/antique-bronze-radiator-3.jpg" alt="Antique Bronze radiator 3">
</p>
<p>
Remember that colours can look very different on different screens. The best way to see how this radiator colour will look in your home is to order a physical sample.

<p>
We�re excited to share a new feature with you, the Rad Questionnaire. It�s an opportunity to get to know our community a little better and share insight and inspiration.
</p>
<p>
We�re incredibly lucky to have Greg Penn from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/manwithahammer">@ManWithAHammer</a> as our very first guest. If you�re looking for period property inspiration, Greg is your man! His account offers a realistic look behind the scenes of an extensive renovation project � setbacks and all. If you�re looking for community and support during your renovation, you need to be following Greg�

</p>
<h3>Tell us your name and a little bit about yourself�</h3>
<p>
My name's Greg, better known as �Man with a Hammer� and I�m slowly renovating my forever home, a 30 room, ex-naval Georgian lump in Devon, pretty well single handedly.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/rad-questionnaire-with-greg-penn-2.jpg" alt="Rad Questionnaire With Greg Penn - image 2">
</p>
<h3>Do you have any professional experience in interior design/DIY?</h3>
<p>
Absolutely not � I was very much known as �the office wally� at work when I took my first renovation on, but I absolutely love both the hard work of renovating, and the designing and have really discovered a previously very well hidden passion for both!
</p>
<h3>How would you define your style?</h3>
<p>
Evolving. I feel like I�m learning all the time, and most important for me is to listen to the house � its age and architectural style, the use of the rooms, then you use them, and the light that comes in.
</p>
<p>
In Admirals House, my style is probably best described as traditional, but with a bit of a modern twist, and it�s probably where I�m most comfortable. But if I found myself decorating something very different � say a mid century bungalow � I wouldn�t try and transpose this style upon it, and would want to be more sympathetic to the architecture. There would always be colour though!
</p>

</p>
<h3>Simple or ornate?</h3>
<p>
Haha, a cop out but� both! I love pattern, colour and detail and use a lot of wallpaper and patterned fabric. But at the same time, my house is relatively simple, being built by the Royal Navy. Lots of clean lines, simple architrave and cornicing and symmetry � I think the two work really well together!
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/rad-questionnaire-with-greg-penn-4.jpg" alt="Rad Questionnaire With Greg Penn - image 4">
</p>
<h3>Budget or blowout?</h3>
<p>
Again, there�s room for both. I tend to splurge on the things that work hard or that you touch a lot, or are a massive amount of work to remove/replace (bathrooms, kitchen, flooring etc.) but where money can definitely be saved is in some of the finishing touches.
</p>
<p>
So much of the furniture here are wonderful antique pieces that I absolutely love, most of which have been under �100 from Facebook Marketplace or similar � a fraction of the price of something even from Ikea but in my opinion, more beautiful, more sustainable and far more satisfying!
</p>
<h3>You�re renovating a period property, which original feature would you be most excited to uncover?</h3>
<p>
Fireplaces are always my favourite things � I�ve 17 here � most of which were boarded up and uncovering them is always hugely exciting. Most were also covered in layer after layer of paint � beautiful original marble surrounds with magnolia gloss applied � so stripping them back (whilst a huge amount of work) is so satisfying!
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/rad-questionnaire-with-greg-penn-5.jpg" alt="Rad Questionnaire With Greg Penn - image 5">
</p>
<h3>What advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your renovation project?</h3>
<p>
Well, being ridiculously stubborn, I�d have likely not listened regardless, but I would say to people� take your time, give yourself breaks when you�re not in the mood� and take lots and lots of photos before and during � it�s great to be able to look back on your progress!
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/rad-questionnaire-with-greg-penn-6.jpg" alt="Rad Questionnaire With Greg Penn - image 6">
</p>
<h3>Where do you go for inspiration?</h3>
<p>
Instagram primarily. We�re so lucky that now, pretty well every interior designer or professional has pages where they share all their projects � it�s so accessible!
</p>
<h3>What project is next on your list?</h3>
<p>
I�m currently working in the lower ground of Admirals. It�s got 5 floors in total, and the lower ground � that would once have been the working and potentially living floor of the household staff � has its own entrance so I�m slowly turning it into a luxurious holiday let. I�ve just finished the main bedroom and am about to move onto what will be the living room.

Blog Posts *vertical-cast-iron-radiators-vs-horizontal� <h1>Vertical Cast Iron Radiators vs Horizontal: Which Is Right for Your Space?</h1>
<p>
Cast iron radiators are more than just a source of heat for your home. They are stylish statement pieces that can bring character and charm to a space. And if you�re renovating a period property, they offer an instant hit of authenticity.
</p>
<p>
But when it comes to choosing between vertical and horizontal configurations, it�s not just about style � performance, space and practicality should all be taken into consideration.
</p>
<p>
In this guide, we�re delving into the pros and cons of vertical cast iron radiators so you can decide which one is right for your home.
</p>
<h2>Why vertical cast iron radiators are gaining attention</h2>
<p>
The vertical cast iron radiator is having a bit of a moment. When space is at a premium and you want to maximise the size of your radiator without sacrificing lots of wall space, the vertical radiator can certainly serve a purpose.
</p>
<p>
Our tallest styles include the Balmoral, Ascot and the taller Traditional Victorian 4 Column. These styles are hugely popular with our customers, but we sometimes get asked why we don�t make them any taller � a wall to ceiling vertical radiator, for example?
</p>
<p>
We don�t go any taller than these for a few important reasons, which we will explore in further detail below. But first, let�s look at why horizontal radiators are usually the superior choice.
</p>
<h2>The case for horizontal radiators</h2>
<p>
In general, horizontal styles are preferred, as this is the optimum shape for heating the space. Remember that heat rises, so it�s the space above your radiator that will be warmest.
</p>
<p>
The reason that wider radiators win over taller radiators is simply down to physics. Heat rises, so a wider radiator will have more opportunity to heat the colder air at the bottom of the room.
</p>
<p>
This is why we don�t stock the very tall vertical radiators that stretch the full height of the wall, as they simply aren�t as efficient. They might look stylish and fit in well with your space requirements, but they often aren�t as effective as a wider radiator with less height.
</p>
<p>
The main reason that customers are looking for vertical radiators is that they are trying to heat a room with an awkward or limited layout.
</p>
<p>
Thankfully, there�s always a solution. Let�s explore how you can adapt radiators to difficult spaces�
</p>
<h2>Choosing radiators for awkward spaces</h2>
<p>
If you want to maximise the heat in your home, you should opt for a longer and shorter radiator. Bay window radiators are a great example of this. They heat the space below your windows which helps to prevent heat loss from the room.
</p>
<p>
If you don�t have the wall space for this type of radiator, you might look at a taller option. The most important thing to consider when choosing your radiator size is the BTU output, or the watts output. This will help you to determine if the radiator is big enough to heat the room you will place it in.
</p>
<p>
Tall radiators look great in a hallway with an artwork or mirror above. This creates visual balance, as the radiator takes up half of the wall and the mirror or artwork takes the other half.
</p>
<p>
And you don�t have to heat the whole room with one heat source. You could also use multiple vertical cast iron radiators in alcoves or between windows, if you don�t want to place them under the window.
</p>
<h2>A word on extra-tall vertical cast iron radiators</h2>
<p>
We don�t stock the very tall floor to ceiling cast iron radiators as they don�t offer good efficiency for heating the home. They are also awkwardly sized, so you�d be expected to pay a hefty premium for shipping!
</p>
<p>
Remember that large cast iron radiators are also very heavy, so you would need to ensure a vertical radiator is securely fixed to the wall at multiple points.
</p>
<p>
Vertical cast iron radiators are also a modern amalgamation of styles. Panel radiators are available in vertical styles, which has led to the introduction of vertical cast iron radiators.
</p>
<p>
This is not an original Victorian style, and it�s really due to consumer demand that they are even available today.
</p>
<p>
The traditional cast iron radiator look varies from waist height to knee height. If you�re hoping to achieve an authentic look for your period property renovation, then we recommend choosing a traditional cast iron radiator height.

</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-bathroom-radiators-1.jpg" alt="cast iron bathroom radiators">
</p>
<h2>Benefits of cast iron radiators</h2>
<p>
Cast iron is a natural choice for the bathroom as it delivers reliable ambient heat, long after you've switched off the central heating. The bathroom is one space where you don't want to compromise on heating � otherwise, you could be left feeling the chill.
</p>
<p>
Traditional bathroom radiators not only deliver excellent heat output, but they also look the part in period homes. Get that iconic Victorian look with subway wall tiles, mosaic floor tiles, pedestal sink and roll top bath. And let's not forget, an old fashioned cast iron column radiator to complete the look.
</p>
<p>
Paired with a towel rail, these radiators not only look great, but they're also highly efficient. These are just some of the reasons we love Victorian style horizontal radiators for the bathroom.
</p>
<h3>Durability and longevity</h3>
<p>
Our radiator design comes from Victornian-era ingenuity, brought up to date with modern-day plumbing innovation. The original design of the cast iron radiator is no doubt innovative, but we�re ironed out the kinks in the design to give it a modern twist. This makes it more durable and long-lasting.
</p>
<p>
A Victorian column radiator is a hefty piece of furniture that will withstand the knocks and bumps of modern life. Regular maintenance will help to keep your radiators and heating system in peak working order.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/cast-iron-bathroom-radiators-2.jpg" alt="cast iron bathroom radiators">
</p>
<h3>Heat retention and efficiency</h3>
<p>
We all like to get something for nothing. So how about a central heating system that keeps you toasty, even after you�ve switched it off? Cast iron offers excellent heat retention properties, which means that it can heat up evenly and gradually and then retain the heat for much longer than with a modern panel radiator.
</p>
<p>
Bathrooms tend to require a little more heating power, since the surfaces are colder and don�t retain heat. Tiles, porcelain, glass and metal aren�t known for their warmth! This is why we love the impressive heating quality of a Victorian column radiator.
</p>
<h3>Classic elegance and design</h3>
<p>
Cast iron radiators offer a little visual treat that elevates a boring panel radiator into a focal point and a part of the design. You don�t have to hide or conceal these radiators; they�re part of the overall look. We offer a wide range of styles to suit all interiors, from traditional designs, including school radiators and Victorian radiators.
</p>
<p>
To complete your selection, choose from our traditional radiator colours. Traditional black looks stunning in a high contrast black and white bathroom, while cream white brings feminine elegance to a pastel-hued space.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<h2>Considerations before installation</h2>
<p>
Thinking about adding cast iron bathroom radiators to your interior design project? First things first, speak to a plumber to make sure that your radiator choice is compatible with your heating system design. (Our radiators offer modern connections that are fully compatible with most modern central heating systems).
</p>
<p>
You should also consider the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="my-3">Cast iron radiators are free-standing and supported with a <a href="products.asp?cat=Accessories+%26+Spares&subcat=Wall+Stays">wall stay</a>, rather than wall-mounted. This means you�ll need to factor this into your floor plan and ensure your pipe centres are positioned correctly before starting any tiling work. We recommend waiting until your radiators are on-site before installing flooring so you can be confident on the position of your pipe inlets.</li>
<li class="my-3">When choosing your cast iron radiator valves, always opt for a <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves&subcat=Manual">manual radiator valve</a> over a <a href="products.asp?cat=Valves&subcat=Thermostatic">thermostatic valve</a>. While TRVs might be great around the rest of your home, the humidity from the bathroom can make them less effective and could lead your radiator to switch off prematurely. A manual valve will help you to maintain a comfortable temperature.</li>
<li class="my-3">Calculate the heat requirements for your space so you know exactly how big your radiator needs to be. You can then select the style, height and then the number of sections required to meet your heat output requirements. Use our <a href="products.asp?page=btucalculator">BTU heating calculator</a> to get started. BTU is a measure of heat output. It's also possible to measure in Watts.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="my-4">Frequently asked questions about cast iron bathroom radiators</h2>
<h3>Will a cast iron radiator rust in a bathroom?</h3>
<p>
This high humidity environment might make you nervous about installing cast iron radiators. Our radiators will not rust when cared for correctly. The radiators are first primed and then finished with a top coat to help protect against moisture damage.
</p>
<p>
If you choose a radiator with only the primer, you will need to arrange for professional top coating to prevent rust damage. Avoid drying towels directly on the radiator to help prevent moisture damage and to ensure your heating is as efficient as possible.
</p>
<h3>Do you offer a cast iron towel radiator?</h3>
<p>
No, we don't offer a traditional towel radiator as part of our core collection, but it is possible to install a towel rail above your cast iron radiator to help keep your towels toasty warm for when you get out of the bath or shower. Leaving space above the radiator will ensure maximum heating efficiency and allow air to continue circulating evenly.
</p>
<h3>Can I mix cast iron with modern radiators?</h3>
<p>
If you only want to install cast iron radiators in a few statement spaces, you might be wondering if you can use them alongside modern panel radiators in your home. This shouldn�t be a problem, as our radiators use standard pipe connections. Professional installation will ensure your heating system is correctly balanced when you mix and match radiators.
</p>
<h3>Do you sell electric radiators?</h3>
<p>
No, we don't offer electric radiators, and we don't recommend using our radiators with an electric heating element. Heating cast iron with an electric heating element is not as efficient, therefore we don�t recommend this.

Blog Posts, 1marki � 2�ng-40-years-of-cast-iron-radiator-excellence9 <h1>Spotlight on 1985: Marking 40 Years of Cast Iron Radiator Excellence</h1>
<p>
A lot was happening in 1985. The record breaking Live Aid concert was held at Wembley Stadium, which saw Queen performing to an estimated audience of 1.9 billion viewers. Boris Becker became the youngest Wimbledon champion at just 17 years old. And a <a href="https://southherts.camra.org.uk/2024/06/when-a-pint-in-ware-was-69p/">pub price survey</a> revealed it was still possible to buy a pint for as little as 69p � imagine!
</p>
<p>
It also happens to be the year our parent company, Mossmead Ltd, started trading. A lot has changed in that time, but our commitment to quality, value and impeccable design has remained steadfast.
</p>
<p>
To mark the occasion, we�re taking a trip down memory lane to see what interior design trends were leading the way during the midpoint of the 1980s.
</p>
<p>
Since so many trends are cyclical, we may see a resurgence of these design choices in the coming years � but maybe some are best left in the past?
</p>
<h2>1985 in interior design trends</h2>
<p>
To understand interior design trends, we first need to remember what was happening in the wider economy of the time.
</p>
<p>
1985 marked the end of the early 1980s recession. From 1980 to 1982, the UK economy was retracting, and while the recession was over officially by November 1982, the effects lingered, including record levels of unemployment.
</p>
<p>
It was only in 1985 that growth returned. For many households, this would be the first time they could think about changing their spending habits. Decor of the time would reflect this mentality of cautious optimism.
</p>
<p>
Homes at the height of sophistication for the time are likely to have included some of the following style elements:
</p>
<h3>Chintz fabric explosion</h3>
<p>
If you live in a minimalist design home as an adult, there�s a good chance you lived in a Chintz-patterned home as a child. Design catalogues from the time show contrasting and layered Chintz fabric, which is quite heavy on the eye. It�s a maximalist choice that is likely responsible for so many millennials opting for monochromatic grey interiors as adults.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block w-50" src="images/blog/marking-40-years-1.jpg" alt="Chintz fabric explosion">
</p>
<p>
This heavily patterned fabric would show up on furniture, carpets, curtains, throws, bedding and even rugs. Interior designers even found extra ways to introduce more fabric into the design scheme, which is why your bed likely had a frilly valance to hide the plain box spring and your windows would have excess fabric in the form of a curtain pelmet.
</p>
<p>
Today, this fabric has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence, but we often use it with <a href="https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/gallery/chintz-fabric-ideas">more restraint</a>. It�s more likely to be used for a single statement chair, or for a throw pillow, but not layered as much as it once was.
</p>
<h3>Glass bricks</h3>
<p>
This is the perfect example of a cyclical design trend. In the mid 80s, glass bricks were hugely popular for dividing spaces without losing out on light. They were thought to be hideously outdated by the 2000s, but they�re enjoying a resurgence at the moment.
</p>
<p>
They might be thoroughly retro, but the humble glass brick is having a bit of a moment. They�re perfect for bathroom spaces to create a walk in shower enclosure that doesn�t have the moving parts of a shower screen.
</p>
<p>
These turkish delight blocks are also DIY friendly, meaning you can easily install them yourself without too much trouble.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block w-50" src="images/blog/marking-40-years-2.jpg" alt="glass bricks">
</p>
<h3>Chrome and black</h3>
<p>
The height of sophistication at the time was chrome and black industrial style everything. The shinier and glossier the better. A glance at <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/vintage-ikea-is-cool">IKEA catalogues</a> from the time reveal chrome-framed sofas, chairs, bookcases and dining tables.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/marking-40-years-3.jpg" alt="chrome and black">
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://ikeamuseum.com/en/explore/product-stories/moment-sofa-1985/">IKEA�s 1984 Moment Sofa</a> showcases this perfectly, and it was actually inspired by the collapsible and stackable design of a shopping trolley. It was their first attempt at a flat-pack sofa and it remains a design icon to this day.
</p>
<p>
It would be a few years before UK shoppers could get their hands on IKEA�s affordable designs, as the first shop didn�t open until 1987. The first store in Warrington paved the way for more flexibility in interior design choices.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/marking-40-years-4.jpg" alt="IKEA">
</p>
<p>
Chrome and glass design elements remain popular to this day, with all metallic options welcome in the home. Modern looks favour a high gloss and high shine finish, whereas vintage looks favour a brushed metallic finish.
</p>
<h2>Born in 1985: the CIRC story</h2>
<p>
The Cast Iron Radiator Centre also looked a lot different back in the 80s. Under the parent company of Mossmead Ltd, we started out as Coventry Demolition.
</p>
<p>
Back then, the company was responsible for clearing out and knocking down a wide range of buildings, including heritage buildings.
</p>
<p>
There was clearly demand for the architectural features the team was saving from the rubble, which led to the formation of our architectural salvage yard.This arm of the business is still operating to this day and is a proud member of Salvo.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/marking-40-years-5.jpg" alt="CIRC story">
</p>
<p>
From here, we ventured into replica vintage door knobs, founding the <a href="https://www.vintagedoorknobs.co.uk">Vintage Door Knob Centre</a> in 2004. Through the demolition company and the reclamation yard we also sold original reclaimed cast iron radiators, but there was an obvious problem.
</p>
<p>
The supply of radiators was unreliable and often only available in oversized and awkward dimensions. Customers wanted the look of vintage radiators, but with the reassurance of modern plumbing connections and guarantees that the radiators would stand the test of time.
</p>
<p>
In 2005, the team took a chance on a supplier that manufactured cast iron radiators using traditional methods of sand casting. These first radiators were a hit, and a new venture was born. We sold our first cast iron radiators through sites like eBay. Finally, in 2010, the Cast Iron Radiator Centre website that you know and love was born.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/marking-40-years-6.jpg" alt="CIRC new facility in 2020">
</p>
<p>
In 2020, we moved into a new facility in the Midlands that would give us the dedicated space for assembling, painting and curing the radiators. Today, we�re one of the leading suppliers of cast iron radiators in the UK, which is a testament to our rich history in the salvage sector.
</p>
<p>
We didn�t just follow the trends � we helped to shape them.
</p>
<h2>How has our radiator design changed in this time?</h3>
<p>
It�s a testament to the enduring popularity of the Victorian design that it simply hasn�t changed since 1985. We took the original Victorian invention, and perfected it by bringing it up to date for modern plumbing and central heating systems.
</p>
<p>
Whatever your interior design style, there�s a cast iron radiator that will work for your home. While other design choices might come and go, the cast iron radiator is enduringly popular. So you can be confident your design choices will be just as popular in 40 years' time as they were 40 years ago.

Blog Posts6 when-to-replace-your-radiators\ <h1>Out with the Old? When to Replace Your Radiators and Why It Matters</h1>
<p>
In the middle of summer, your radiators might be the last thing on your mind. But if you spent last winter plagued by central heating problems, you might be wondering if action is needed before autumn arrives once more.
</p>
<p>
The average steel panel radiator has a lifespan of around 10-15 years, but some could last up to 20 years with good care and maintenance. If your radiators have reached the end of their life, you might be wondering if this could be the perfect time to update your home with cast iron radiators.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/when-to-replace-your-radiators-1.jpg" alt="short princess school radiator">
</p>
<p>
Cast iron radiators are a luxurious upgrade for your home that not only look the part, but also deliver phenomenal heating power. Our radiators are available in a range of sleek and ornate style, custom painted with your choice of beautiful heritage colours.
</p>
<p>
Upgrading your radiators is an investment in your home, so it�s important to take the time to consider all of the options before moving forward.
</p>
<h2>Why radiator health matters</h2>
<p>
Inefficient radiators will not only leave you in the cold, they can also hike up your heating bills while causing a racket in your home. If you�ve ever been in an older property with an ageing heating system, you�ll be familiar with the loud knocks, creaks and hissing you come to expect from the heating system. This can happen all hours of the day and night, making it difficult to sleep or relax.
</p>
<p>
Another issue with ageing radiators is the failing heat distribution. Old radiators will be backed up with years of sludge and debris that limits the flow of water. And if the water can�t flow, your radiators can�t heat up evenly.
<p>
<p>
Finally, your central heating system will have to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. This puts pressure on the boiler while also making your central heating bills much higher than they need to be.
</p>
<p>
An investment in new radiators could therefore help to drive down your energy bills in years to come.
</p>
<h2>Signs your radiators have seen better days</h2>
<p>
Not sure if your radiators have reached the end of their life? These are some of the telltale signs that your radiators need to be replaced.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Cold spots on your radiators</li>
<li>Radiator leaks are becoming more common</li>
<li>When you bleed your radiators, the water is brown or sludgy</li>
<li>Your heating system makes strange and loud noises (bangs, hissing, gurgling)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Repair or replace?</h2>
<p>
Next up, you might be wondering if you can hang on to your radiators a little longer by repairing them before you replace them. You could start with a professional powerflush to see if this can help to improve efficiency and get a few more years out of your existing system.
</p>
<p>
<em><strong>A note on powerflushing:</strong> While this can be effective for cleaning sludge and build up out of your central heating system, there is also the risk that the caustic chemicals used could cause further damage by breaking down seals and gaskets.</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>Our radiators should never be powerflushed, as this will invalidate the warranty. If your system needs to be powerflushed, we recommend doing this before installing our radiators, and then the system water should be fully neutralised before they are fitted.</em>
</p>
<p>
If you�re planning any structural renovation or redecoration project, it could be helpful to replace your radiators before any work commences.
</p>
<p>
You can also decide to replace and upgrade because you simply want to change the style of your radiators. Panel radiators can become a distraction in a period property where cast iron radiators would be more suited to the surroundings. So go on � <a href="products.asp?cat=Cast+Iron+Radiators&subcat=All">treat yourself!</a>
</p>
<h2>The best time of year to renovate</h2>
<p>
If you�ve decided to not just replace your radiators, but to upgrade them, then you�ll need to plan your renovation accordingly. Radiators might be the last thing on your mind during the summer months, but it�s actually the best time to upgrade.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/when-to-replace-your-radiators-2.jpg" alt="renovation">
</p>
<p>
Here are some of our favourite reasons for planning radiator replacements for the summer/early autumn.
</p>
<ol>
<li>You won�t mind having the central heating switched off.</li>
<li>Plumbers have more availability and are able to plan work.</li>
<li>You can keep the windows open when there is dusty work going on inside.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Choosing replacement radiators</h2>
<p>
You don�t have to replace all of the radiators in your home with cast iron radiators all at once. Most modern central heating systems will allow you to mix and match your radiators without any issues.
</p>
<p>
<img class="img-responsive center-block" src="images/blog/when-to-replace-your-radiators-3.jpg" alt="cream white 4 column 760mm cast iron radiator">
</p>
<p>
This can give you the flexibility to renovate room by room, or to replace radiators floor by floor. Upgrading your panel radiators requires more planning than replacing them like-for-like, but we�re confident you�ll be delighted with the outcome.
</p>
<p>
We recommend consulting with your chosen plumber before ordering to confirm the components you�ll need. You don�t have to replace your heating pipework if it is not a standard size, but you may need to adapt the connections to fit your new radiators.
</p>
<p>
Get started with our <a href="products.asp?page=btucalculator">BTU calculator</a> to determine the heating requirements for each room. You can then shop recommended radiators based on your BTU requirements.
</p>
<p>
Your pipework might need to be adjusted to suit the new radiators, but we recommend waiting until the radiators have been delivered before making any final decisions.
</p>
<p>
This is because cast iron radiator sections are individually cast and we hand assemble each radiator, therefore completely unique. There might be small differences in the length of assembled radiators.
</p>
