2. CAST YOUR EYES OVER THESE BEAUTIES
• You could say that cast iron radiators are the original heaters that have been
used by plumbers and their clientele for well over 140 years.
• With the advent of the leaking behemoths of the 60s and 70s they were
replaced and it was very difficult for a while to obtain these radiators if you
wanted them in your home. This was due to the enormous craftsmanship that
went into the manufacture of these dependable and efficient heaters.
• Nothing much goes wrong with these types of radiators and once people
wanted to recreate a bygone era in their period homes manufacturers started
producing these again.

3. • These radiators can reach a much higher temperature than most others of
different metals. This means that they can get a room up to temperature very
quickly and once the correct temperature has been reached and the
thermostat clicks the radiator off they stay hotter for longer than other
radiators. There is one drawback, though, because of their temperature they
are dangerous for small fingers and care should be taken when children are
about.
• Once the central heating goes off during the night, rooms will stay hot for
longer because of the heat retaining properties of these heaters. This will
make them energy efficient and could also lower your heating bills.

5. • In that case you may need to box them in behind a grille, but of course then
there will be no point in having these attractive heaters installed. Most of the
modern cast iron styles do have thermostats incorporated within them so the
heat these produce can be regulated by the user.
• These radiators consist invariably out of a series of columns which have been
shown to heat rooms more effectively than others. It has to be said that these
heaters are better suited in large sized rooms. Smaller homes would benefit
more from having the more compact styles fitted. It stands to reason that the
more columns the radiator contains, the higher its heat output will be.
• In the old days this type of radiator was prone to leakage and they were often
difficult to repair. If you should buy its modern equivalent you would have no
problem at all as professionals are to hand to deal with problems such as
these. Modern technology has also made them easier to use with fewer
problems than before.

6. • These days all that these radiators need is an occasional bleed to let the air
that has accumulated in them out. This will stop the radiators from being cold
at the top and also prevents them rattling and knocking.
• Modern cast iron radiators are now also produced in many other designs than
the original column style. This will make it easier to incorporate them in any
kind of home décor.
• It is for all the above reasons that if you are thinking of having a new heating
system fitted you should give serious thought to these radiators.
