Cast Iron Radiators

A cast iron radiator is a sectioned radiator from the art nouveau era. Each portion is made of cast iron that has been shaped into a precise shape. Radiator gaskets serve as connections, and the parts are slotted or welded together.

Most of the cast iron radiators at Designer Radiators Direct are column radiators, using iron to forge a series of vertical loops, fitted together using a spine of often paint finished metal to piece it together. These iconic radiators can be found in differing forms throughout both modern and traditionally furnished homes, benefiting from the heat radiated between the loops in this radiator which evenly distribute heat throughout the home. Cast iron radiators have become one of the most well-known designs on the market today, and more than a century on, continues to impress.
