Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Paladin Sloane cast iron radiator?
The Sloane is a strong cast iron radiator with a beautiful curly-eared design, first created in America in the 1880s. It looks elegant and adds style to any home.
Why should I choose the Sloane model for my home?
It looks like a piece of art rather than a plain heater. It is slim, perfect for hallways, and keeps rooms warm long after the heating turns off.
What sizes does the Sloane radiator come in?
Two heights: 450mm (low for windows) and 750mm (tall for high ceilings). Width is adjustable by adding more sections.
Does the Paladin Sloane produce enough heat?
Yes. Cast iron holds heat very well. Check your room’s BTU requirement and choose the correct number of sections.
What colors can I paint my radiator?
Choose any color you like. It comes in grey primer or can be painted in metallic shades like Gold or Old Penny. We can also match major paint brands.
Do I need to buy valves separately?
Yes. Valves are sold separately. Traditional brass or chrome valves suit the antique style best.
Which type of valves do I need for my pipes?
Floor pipes = Angled Valves. Wall pipes = Corner Valves. Always check your pipe direction before buying.
Is the Paladin Sloane radiator very heavy?
Yes. Cast iron is extremely heavy. You need two strong people to lift and move it safely.
What are wall stays and why do I need them?
Wall stays secure the radiator to the wall to prevent tipping. They are important for safety, especially around kids and pets.
Can I install this radiator myself?
It is best installed by a professional because of its weight and plumbing connections. Long radiators may come in two pieces.
How do I clean the curly patterns on the top?
Use a soft paintbrush to remove dust, then wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Why does the radiator come in two pieces?
Radiators longer than 1200mm are shipped in two parts for safe lifting. A plumber joins them on site.
Does this radiator work with modern heating systems?
Yes. It connects to modern central heating systems just like standard radiators.
How long does the warranty last?
The Paladin Sloane has a 10-year guarantee.
What is a BTU and why is it important?
BTU measures heat output. Every room needs a certain BTU level to stay warm. Choose your radiator based on your BTU calculation.
Can I get a polished finish instead of paint?
Yes. Hand-polished finishes are available either shiny mirror polish or softer satin polish.
How far does the radiator stick out from the wall?
The Sloane is slim at about 145mm deep. Wall stays add a little extra distance. Ideal for narrow spaces.
What happens if air gets trapped inside?
The top will be cold. Bleed the radiator with a radiator key until air escapes and water appears.
Do you deliver the radiator into my house?
Delivery is curbside only. Drivers cannot carry it inside due to insurance rules. Have helpers ready.
Can I use this radiator with an electric connection?
Yes. An electric version is available by fitting a heating element inside. Just plug it into a wall socket.
