Carron Radiators

Cast iron is a brilliant material for radiators. Extremely durable and hardy, they are brilliant for holding heat and if looked after, cast iron radiators can last a lifetime. With the lifetime warranties we offer at Designer Radiators Direct on some Carron cast iron radiators, we really mean a lifetime!

The thing about cast iron radiators is that, though they can take a while to heat up they are able to hold onto heat more than any other radiator. So it might seem like they are more expensive to run because of the time it can take to warm the heater up, but remember that once you turn your heating off the cast iron radiator can keep going for longer than any other radiator. So this means that cast iron radiators aren’t any more expensive than aluminium radiators, which heat up quickly but also cool down quickly.

Cast iron is a heavy material, so it is highly recommended to purchase a wall stay with these cast iron radiators if it's free standing. This can minimise the risk of the radiator tipping or falling which can cause damage to your property and radiator. It can also cause injury if they do fall, so wall stays are strongly recommended if you have the radiator in a busy stop in your property or if you have children running around.

Another accessory is the radiator valve. These do not need replacing if the new radiator has the same connections as your current radiator, but if the connections are different you will need new radiator valves. It is usually recommended to replace your radiator valves when purchasing a new radiator so you can find valves that have a similar finish and style to your new radiator, but if your valves are relatively new and fits your new radiator you don't have to replace them.
