Victorian Radiators

Victorian Design

Victorian radiators are easily recognisable by their eye-catching looks and timeless appeal. Unlike modern radiators, their intricate design, hand finishes and hours of craftsmanship make them more than just a way to heat a room. Bringing a touch of Victorian charm in the spaces they inhabit.
Unlike plain modern radiators, many Victorian styles were cast with intricate scrolling, floral motifs, and decorative flourishes. These embellishments were inspired by the architectural and artistic movements of the time, including Gothic Revival, Rococo, and Art Nouveau influences.

Victorian Cast Iron Radiators

Like the originals on which they are based, our Victorian radiators are made from high quality cast iron. This material was originally chosen for its strength, robustness and ability to handle the early incarnations of steam and high pressure hot water heating systems of the Victorian era. Victorian
cast iron radiators have now become synonymous with practicality, durability and quality.
Cast iron is an extremely strong metal that allows for intricate and ornate designs to be created due to the casting process. It was originally the Victorians and their 19th Century industrial manufacturing processes that provided homes throughout the UK with ornate yet reliable radiators
on a large scale. Heating in the home was not only accessible, but also beautiful.
Cast iron was also chosen by the Victorians due to its excellent heat retention. And like the originals, all the Victorian cast iron radiators we manufacture at the Cast Iron Radiator Centre provide steady and evenly distributed heat. Cast iron radiators give off both radiant heat (like the sun’s warmth) and convection heat (circulating warm air). Gaps between the columns and the
integrated feet ensure ample air flow underneath and around the radiators.

Victorian Column Radiators

At the Cast Iron radiators Centre, we stock 3 and 4 column Victorian radiators, with a smaller (330mm) eye-catching 9 column Victorian radiator also available. Our 4 column Victorian radiators are available in a variety of different heights including 760mm, 660mm and 460mm.
The height and number of sections you require will be based on the BTU requirements of the room in which you plan to install your radiator. Our handy BTU Calculator can help you determine the number of sections and height requirements.

Modern Victorian Radiators

While still made with the same high quality cast iron, and incorporating the visual aesthetics of the Victorian era, our Victorian-style radiators are fully compatible with modern central heating systems.
Furthermore, you can now have complete control over your Victorian radiators with our thermostatic valves, available in a variety of finishes to match your Victorian radiator of choice.
