Cast Iron Radiators Victorian & amp; Column Styles

The Victoriana Cast Iron Radiators

Selecting the right heating for a period property or adding a character feature to a modern home requires a solution that is both stylish and powerful. Our cast iron radiators are the answer. They are more than just heaters; they are long-lasting investments that provide exceptional, consistent warmth. Each radiator is made to order and hand-finished, combining historic craftsmanship with modern efficiency.

The Benefits of Victoriana Cast Iron Heating

The primary advantage of cast iron is its high thermal mass. Unlike standard panel radiators, cast iron heats up slowly but, more importantly, it stores and retains that heat, releasing it gently long after your boiler has switched off. This creates a more comfortable, even temperature throughout your room and can reduce boiler cycling. Built to last for generations, these durable and corrosion-resistant radiators are a sustainable choice for any home. They are also fully compatible with modern heating systems, including renewable energy sources like heat pumps.

A Practical Way to Select Your Radiator

Choosing the correct radiator involves three key steps to ensure your room is perfectly heated.

1. Calculate Your Room's Heat Requirement (BTU)

Before you choose a style, you must calculate the heat output your room needs, measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). This is the most critical step. Factors like room dimensions (length, width, and height), window type (single or double glazed), and the number of external walls all impact the BTU figure. A Victorian living room with high ceilings will need a much higher BTU output than a modern, insulated bedroom. We provide a multi-variable BTU calculator to give you a precise requirement.

2. Choose Your Column Profile: 2, 3, or 4 Columns?

The number of columns affects both heat output and the radiator's depth. A simple rule is: the more columns, the greater the surface area and the higher the heat output.

2 Column Radiators: These are the slimmest option, perfect for narrow spaces like hallways or landings where projection from the wall is a concern.
3 & 4 Column Radiators: These are a very popular choice, offering an excellent balance of high heat output and a classic, substantial appearance for living rooms and bedrooms.

3. Select Your Bespoke Finish

We offer unmatched customisation. Your radiator can be finished in a standard primer, a classic paint like Satin Black or Gunmetal Grey, or a specialist finish like Hand Burnished (Polished) or Raw Metal Lacquered.We can also colour-match to over 10,000 colours, including designer palettes from Farrow & Ball and Little Greene, to perfectly complement your interior.

Complete the Look: Valves and Accessories

The final details are essential. A period radiator should be paired with traditional radiator valves. We offer manual valves for authentic, simple control and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) that provide modern, room-by-room temperature management. Finish the look with matching pipe sleeve kits.

Installation and Maintenance

A cast iron radiator is extremely heavy and must be floor-mounted. We strongly recommend installation by a qualified professional. Once installed, maintenance is simple. To keep your radiator working efficiently, you may need to "bleed" it occasionally to release trapped air. This is a simple task you can do with a bleed key if you notice the top of the radiator is cold while the bottom is warm.
