† Height is for foot section from floor to top of radiator.
‡ All lengths approximate and include to bush ends – please allow 4% tolerance.
Radiators are available professionally painted in one of our stunning bespoke radiator colours, or finished with a base coat only so you can arrange your own professional painting. Our exclusive colours include:
- Matt black
- Satin black
- Gunmetal grey
- Antique bronze
- Cream white
These colours can look very different depending on the surroundings, lighting and placement in the room. If you’re unsure about the right colour for your home, you can order painted bush end samples to help you to make a choice.
Our radiators are cast using traditional methods, which means there will always be differences between the sections along with fettling marks. These are all part of the charm of cast iron radiators and highlight the authenticity of this decades old craft.
As the radiators are hand assembled, all dimensions are approximate. We therefore advise that pipework should only be put in place once the radiator has been delivered.
Bush Ends
All bush ends/caps will only be hand tight to allow customers to interchange if on a gravity fed heating system & will need fitting correctly when installed with PTFE etc.
Accessories & Bleed Valves
All Fittings (Valves, Wall stays, Shrouds etc) ordered will be placed in a box located on top of the top radiator. Air Vents/bleed valves will be inside this box, within a SEALED ORANGE BAG stating ‘Bleed Valves Enclosed’, and stapled to the yellow A3 sheet with our Fitting Instructions. You MUST check it’s content upon delivery & report any missing items immediately.

We always recommend that you trust the installation and maintenance process to an appropriately trained and qualified professional.
Failure to follow our radiator installation guidelines could void your warranty.
We always advise you to wait for your cast iron radiators to be onsite before working out pipe work and pipe centres widths. This is because cast iron is not an exact product and because each radiator is hand assembled there will always be slight discrepancies as indicated on each radiator page in the lengths of same style & size radiators.
However, we appreciate that occasionally some prep work may need to be carried out prior to your order arriving onsite and that approximate pipe centre measurements may be required for first fix purposes.
In this instance, please refer to the technical drawing/specification document, saved as a PDF on each individual valve type, for the measurement from the thread on the valve tail to the centre point of the valve, and add this to the length of your radiator to work out your approximate pipe centre measurement.
For example, if fitting one of our Kenilworth Thermostatic Valve Sets, which has a measurement of 45mm from thread on the valve tail to the centre point of the valve, to a 10 section, Traditional Victorian radiator at 650mm wide, the approximate pipe centre measurement would be 740mm.
For the approximate measurement off the skirting board or wall if no skirting is used to the pipe centre we suggest half the depth of the cast iron radiator + 10mm as a minimum.
For the approximate ‘outside valve to outside valve measurement’ (the minimum measurement to be able to operate the valves freely) you should add approx. 150mm/6.0” to the length indicated for each radiator in the Specification tab, however this measurement will vary depending on the valve that is fitted – this measurement should be used if fitting the radiator and valves into an area where there may be a width restriction.
*PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE ABOVE MEASUREMENTS SHOULD BE USED AS A GUIDE ONLY.
Once you’ve made your selection, we will get to work assembling and painting your radiators. We’ll then carefully secure your package to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
Our delivery partner will keep you informed on the status of your order. You will receive email and SMS updates confirming the date and estimated time of delivery.
Please note, all radiators are delivered on pallets to keep them secure. Delivery is to kerbside only, and you will be responsible for safely moving the radiators indoors. Read our radiator lifting guidelines before ordering.
If you have access restrictions at your delivery point, get in touch with our team before ordering to avoid any delays.

We bought 2 Princess Column radiators and valves and accessories for all the radiators in our house – we couldn’t be more pleased with the quality and look of everything. Customer service from Peter and the team was also fantastic – extremely helpful. Thanks guys!

Elegant and weighty princess
Weight to BTU ratio, this is at the heavier end. I have a short 4 column 3200 BTU radiator which weighs less than my c. 2500 BTU short princess. Two of us really struggled to move this little beast inside the house after delivery and I’m not unused to lifting heavy things.
However, does show you are buying a proper piece of pig iron from a foundry.
Unlike the four column, I haven’t noticed any Chinese stamps on the metal work indicating the foundry it is from, though I’m sure it too is from China.
The gun metal grey is a great colour choice for performance as darker colours radiate heat better.
From a safety perspective, because of its weight we will be ensuring it is very well tied to the wall.
For anyone who went to a school that still had its edwardian era radiators stoically keeping the classroom room this brings a huge element of nostalgia.

Cast Iron Rad
I love their radiators, this os the second one we’ve bought and we plan on several more. I only have one issue and that is the roadside delivery. Luckily for me I had some builders working on an extension the day this radiator arrived – although the rad was entirely unconnected to the job they were doing they were kind enough to carry it into the house. I just don’t know what I would have done otherwise and it worries me for future purchases

Product & Support
Hello,
I’d just like to share my feedback from my recent order.
I was thoroughly impressed with both the product and the service I received from you guys. When I had technical questions about how to paint the radiators myself, or how to attach a wall stay, you were quick and happy to help me. When I also had a technical problem with one of our radiators, you quickly sent out a replacement part for free and this was really great to see – out of all the suppliers we’ve used during our house refurb, you’ve been by far the best to work with, so many thanks for that.
I’ll be sure to order from you guys again when we need some more cast iron radiators.
Thanks again,
Peter

Excellent cast iron radiator
Have just ordered 8 of these in different sizes for my home – they are seriously heavy handsome pieces of kit. Really high quality and well finished (in gunmetal grey). All the accessories were also top quality – saved at least 50% on the items at the plumbers trade counter. Very good customer services. Highly recommend this company and product

Lovely radiator
I ordered the Short Princess 2 column 560mm radiator painted in pewter and collected it to save delivery costs, as I lived nearby. It’s worth visiting if you can, as the architectural yard they have is full of great stuff (I bought an oak coal skuttle as well as the radiator).
The style and finish are fantastic – it really looks good in my Art Deco furnished home.
Be prepared for how heavy the radiators are though! This was relatively small, at only 1 metre long, but was very tiring getting it up to the third floor flat where I live.
However, it is worth it. I had it installed yesterday and it looks so much better than the steel panel raditor it replaced. It throws off enough heat as well, thanks to the BTGU / size calculator provided by the website.
verified owner
Fantastic
Very pleased with this – it has transformed my room and added a little bit of ‘industrial chic’ to my lounge. Longer to heat up than a standard rad, but the pay-off is that it remains hot, long after the heating has gone off. Planning to buy more, very happy.

Lovely radiator
Lovely radiator, looks great in my dining room and exactly the look we wanted. Really good quality, be warned these are very heavy! Makes the room really really warm. Excellent delivery, emailed when despatched and then a local courier company contacted me to arrange delivery. Would not hesitate to order more from this company.

I ordered this princess short radiator as I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It was made in a very timely manner and is absolutely amazing. Everyone who comes to the house comments on it
I’m so happy with it. Cast iron radiator centre gets a massive thumbs up from me and would highly recommend them
Alison Youson verified owner
Excellent service and product
This is my second radiator that I have purchased and this one was installed in our lounge after the “warming experience” of the one in our renovated bedroom
There is just no comparison with normal steel panel radiator, both in looks and heat efficiency. The ability for cast iron radiators to slowly release heat and keep a lovely constant warm temperature must not be underestimated.
Would highly recommend Cast Iron Radiator Co

Cast iron princess radiators
I have had several of these installed in my Victorian property over the past few years. They are beautiful pieces and always get lots of comments. They also keep the house toasty and warm so winning all round. Very happy with them and the customer service from CIRC which has always been great even when we’ve had minor issues (one of our thermostatic valves was faulty but no quibbles they replaced it and refunded my postage). Only thing I’d be aware of is the curb side drop which is a pain if you haven’t got an army of strong people to heft them inside! We ordered thermostatic valves and chrome bleed valves with the radiators (as well as pipe shrouds and wall fixers) which really finish them off beautifully. Really really happy with the overall look.

Hot and heavy!!!
So happy with these classic looking radiators. Had the whole house fitted with central heating and these rads throughout. The quality for the price is excellent and the heat they give out is fantastic. You’re hard pressed to find this type of rad cheaper anywhere else. We went for a mixture of short and tall depending on room size and placement area. Very happy with the CIRC service and communication throughout. Two things I would note, firstly they are bloody heavy so make sure you have enough help to move them. Secondly if you find you need to add or remove sections dont forget you can buy a tool from CIRC to remove or add. We found 1 rad was to long for the area it was intended, not a problem if you have the tool as you can just take a section out.
Lukeio verified owner
Very Happy
This is the second radiator we have ordered. Really impressed with the radiator and service on both occasions.
Jackie G verified owner
Onky reason for 4 star is we had a bit of a hiccup with payment, which cleared our bank so we received confirmation but the payment somehow didn’t reach the company so our order didn’t arrive. However I called to chase and spoke with Tina who was great & apologetic , I sent over proof & she had my order procsessed quickly. It has arrived, not had it fitted yet but it looks great. Great customer service. Would recommend.

Worth every penny
This was the second room I’ve added cast iron rads into and chose these due to the height. They fit perfectly in our Victorian house and are a real statement. We went for 2 x 13 column to add a real wow to the room. They are very heavy but this was expected. They are a must and great value for money.

Exceptional Service & After Sale Care!
We bought 9 radiators from CIRC. We made an error initially in sizing 1 radiators when they were made and sent. CIRC allowed us to return 1 radiator and order additional radiators, they provided relevant refund very promptly. All the above was no trouble whatsoever to CIRC and frankly good old fashioned customer service we are not used too! We highly recommend CIRC and many many thanks to Steve & Paul for your invaluable help!

Beautiful radiator
A really good quality and stylish radiator. Extremely heavy and looks beautiful. We purchased the cream white and I’d recommend getting the touch up paint as once installed it just needed a little bit of paint touching up. So pleased with it and will definitely be ordering more when we decorate other rooms.
