We are one of Ireland’s largest suppliers of cast iron radiators and we felt this article would be helpful for anyone looking at putting them into a new property or replacing old radiators during a renovation.
Why go for a cast iron radiator?
- There are a number of reasons to look at a cast iron radiator.
- The starting point for a lot of people is the look. Along with getting a functioning heat source you also get a beautiful piece of furniture for your home. A lot of people hide radiators behind couches, under radiator covers or behind curtains. This will never be the case when you have a cast iron radiator. You will be proud to have it on display whether its a traditional column radiator with a simple design up to an ornate highly polished radiator….we guarantee it will be the talking point of any room.
- Heat output is of course the most important feature to look at when searching for a radiator. We often get asked should I go for a modern radiator vs a cast iron radiator as it will use less energy to heat up. We always say that is only half of the story. Yes a modern radiator will heat up faster but it will also lose its heat quite quickly when the heating system is turned off. However, a cast iron radiator will heat slower but it will also store that heat for longer and release it slowly afterwards. So always remember there are two sides to every story.
