Rather than reclaimed radiators often found in scrap yards, we offer an extensive range of brand new reproduction cast radiators, hand built and tested in the UK, all supplied with long warranties for your peace of mind.

    FAQ Image
    First, when choosing your paint it’s important to ensure it’s suitable for radiators and withstanding high temperatures. To paint cast iron radiators, clean the surface thoroughly and then apply a primer that’s suitable for metal surfaces. Once the primer is dry, apply several coats of paint evenly, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. It’s better to do several thin coats of paint rather than fewer thick coats. Allow your cast iron radiator to dry for a few hours.

    Regular cleaning of cast iron radiators involves dusting the surface to remove any dirt or debris. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth to wipe down the radiator's exterior.
