Oxford 470mm Cast Iron Radiator | Low-Level Classic Design UK

The Oxford 470mm Cast Iron Radiator:Low-Level Classic Design UK

The Oxford 470mm is a radiator specifically designed to provide robust heat in spaces where height is a limiting factor. This model seamlessly combines the timeless fluted columns of the classic Neo Georgian design with a compact, low-level profile that is ideal for fitting neatly under bay windows, in conservatories, or within hallways and landings with limited wall space. This radiator is more than a simple heating unit; it's a meticulously crafted piece that offers a genuine, long-lasting heating solution without compromising on the elegant aesthetics of a traditional cast iron radiator.

An Exceptional Fit for Spaces of All Sizes

The Oxford 470mm's defining feature is its versatility. At just 470mm high, it offers a discreet yet powerful heating solution that a standard radiator cannot. This compact size allows it to be installed in challenging areas, such as beneath a window, which is often a significant source of heat loss. The radiator's superior heat retention counteracts this perfectly, ensuring a consistent, ambient warmth throughout the room. Its ability to fit into previously unutilised spaces makes it a practical and elegant choice for period homes and modern properties alike.

The Radiating Power of Cast Iron

While taking a little longer to warm up, the inherent thermal mass of cast iron allows this radiator to retain and emit heat for a much longer period after your boiler has switched off. This unique characteristic results in a gentle, ambient warmth that eliminates cold spots and helps to maintain a comfortable temperature with fewer heating cycles, contributing to potential long-term energy savings. The Oxford 470mm does not just heat a room—it warms it for a lasting sense of comfort.

A Bespoke Finish for Every Interior

Each Oxford 470mm radiator is available with a variety of finishes, allowing it to be tailored to your specific interior design. We offer a full range of custom paint colours, and traditional finishes such as primer, burnished, and polished. The polished finish, in particular, highlights the intricate fluted detailing of the columns, creating a stunning focal point in any room. These finishes are not merely aesthetic; they are durable and built to withstand the rigours of a home heating system for decades. Our selection of finishes ensures your radiator is a perfect match for your home, whether you are aiming for an authentic Victorian look or a striking modern contrast.

Essential Installation and Maintenance Notes

Due to the substantial weight of cast iron, all installations must be performed by a professional. The weight necessitates a thorough assessment of the wall type and may require reinforcement or the use of floor-standing support feet for a secure and safe fitting. For a seamless and successful installation, the heating system should be professionally flushed, and a corrosion inhibitor should be added to protect your investment.

To help you care for your radiator, we've provided a simple list of maintenance tasks:

Wipe the surface with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water weekly to prevent dust buildup.
Bleed the radiator if you notice cold spots at the top, a sign of trapped air.
Consider a professional power flush every 5-6 years to prevent sludge from accumulating.
