Cast Iron Radiators
Cast iron radiators were first developed in the mid 1800’s and are such an effective and attractive way to heat your home, that they are still here today. Cast iron radiators are now widely used in many countries in Europe and North America.
Available in multiple sections and sizes, these cast iron radiators are suitable both for hot water and steam heating applications in both residential and commercial settings.
Advantages:
Inexpensive – when compared to other types of radiators on the market (aluminum, panel type, Victorian style and others).
Higher level of comfort – uses radiant heat instead or convection, resulting in more natural and proper temperature distribution.
Flexibility in installation – with a wide operating temperature range from 150°F to 220°F
High thermal mass – means less equipment (i.e. boiler) cycling & wear and higher energy efficiency.
It’s simple to install – no special parts are needed (such as diverter valves and thermostatic valve heads needed for panel style radiators).
