Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Victorian 3 column radiator?
This is a classic heating unit made from cast iron. It has three vertical hollow tubes in each section which gives it a thick and sturdy look. The design copies the old style radiators from the Victorian era in the UK.
Why should I choose the Beaumont brand?
Beaumont is known for making high quality copies of original antique radiators. They use strong cast iron and authentic moulds so you get the look of a historic home with the reliability of a new product.
Will this radiator heat my room well?
Yes it is very good at heating. Because it has three columns instead of one or two it has more surface area. This means it can push out more heat and warm up larger rooms like living rooms or hallways effectively.
What sizes are available for this radiator?
You can buy this radiator in three main heights. The 450mm is short and fits under low windows. The 650mm is a standard size for most walls. The 760mm is tall and works best in rooms with high ceilings.
Does cast iron hold heat longer than steel?
Yes cast iron stays warm for much longer than modern steel radiators. Even after you turn your central heating off the metal keeps radiating heat. This keeps your house cozy for hours.
Do I need special valves for these radiators?
You usually need new valves because cast iron radiators have wider connections than standard white panel radiators. We suggest buying traditional brass or chrome valves to match the old fashioned look.
What are wall stays and do I need them?
Wall stays are small metal bars that attach the radiator to the wall. Yes you definitely need them. These radiators are very heavy and the wall stay prevents them from falling over if someone bumps into them.
Can I install this radiator on a modern heating system?
Yes these radiators work perfectly with modern central heating systems including gas boilers and heat pumps. You do not need a special antique system to use them.
How do I choose the right size for my room?
You need to use a BTU calculator first. This tells you how much heat your room needs based on its size. Once you have that number you can pick a radiator that matches the heat output you need.
Does the radiator come painted?
These radiators often come with a primer coat which is a base layer. You can paint them any color you like using special metal paint. Some options might allow you to buy them already painted so check the product details.
Why is my radiator cold at the top?
If the top is cold but the bottom is hot it means air is trapped inside. You need to bleed the radiator. Use a radiator key to open the small valve at the top until water comes out.
Is it hard to clean these radiators?
It is not hard but it can take a little time. Dust can get stuck between the three columns. The best way to clean it is to use a long radiator brush or a vacuum cleaner with a thin nozzle.
Are these radiators heavy?
Yes they are extremely heavy because they are made of solid iron. You should always have two people to lift them during delivery and installation to avoid injury or damage to your floor.
What is the difference between 2 column and 3 column?
The main difference is the depth and heat output. A 3 column radiator is thicker and gives out more heat than a 2 column one. Choose 3 columns if you have a larger room or need more warmth.
Do I need to put chemicals in the water?
Yes when you install cast iron radiators you must add a rust inhibitor fluid to your heating water. This stops the iron from rusting on the inside and keeps your system working smoothly for years.
Can I put this radiator in a bathroom?
You can put it in a bathroom but you must make sure it is not too close to the shower or bath where it will get soaked often. Water on the outside can cause rust if the paint chips off.
How long does it take to warm up?
Cast iron takes a bit longer to get hot compared to thin steel radiators. It might take 20 or 30 minutes to feel fully hot but remember it also stays hot for much longer after the boiler stops.
What happens if the radiator leaks?
Leaks are rare but can happen at the joints. If you see water try tightening the valve nuts gently. If the leak comes from the radiator body you should contact the seller immediately for a replacement or repair advice.
Is this style good for old houses?
Yes it is the perfect choice for old houses like Victorian or Edwardian properties. It matches the history of the building. However it also looks very stylish and cool in modern industrial apartments.
Does the radiator have feet?
Yes most Beaumont Victorian radiators come with feet cast directly into the body. This means they stand on the floor and take the weight off the wall which is safer for heavy items.
