Cast Iron Radiators

Begin by calculating the heat output you need for each room using our calculator. You will then have a figure given in British Thermal Units (BTUs) which can be provided by one single radiator or divided across several radiators within the room. Available space, location of windows and any existing pipework you are working with will all impact the number, size and placement of your radiators.For help with calculating your BTUs consider booking an one-to-one consultation, where one of our team can walk you through the process in person or virtually.

Just because cast iron radiators were born in the coal-fired Victorian era does not mean they are stuck there. All of our models are compatible with heat pumps and other renewable energy sources.In fact, air and ground source heat pumps produce low-frequency heat cycles in a very similar way to the coal boilers that cast iron radiators were originally designed for – both are slow to warm up and slow to cool down.The high thermal mass of cast iron paired with the large surface area and high internal volume of a sectional radiator design are features that made them run well on coal. The same features make them equally well suited to the slower heat cycles and lower water temperatures you get with a heat pump.

Rooted in architectural salvage, our company owes its essence to time-tested veteran products. Today, our mission is to seamlessly integrate these classics into the modern world—outfitting them with thermostatic valves or incorporating them into heat pump systems. Models such as Emmeline and Mercury, our newest additions, draw significant inspiration from revered classics, paying homage to the giants of the past.

Our sister brand, The Old Radiator Company, is dedicated to restoring and rehoming antique radiators, ensuring these remarkable pieces of history remain relevant for generations to come. Every reclaimed radiator is expertly restored and compatible with modern thermostatic valves and heat pumps.
