Why It Makes Sense to Buy Radiators Made From
Cast Iron
2
Cast iron radiators are one of the best options
when it comes to buying new radiators for your
home. Cast iron has so many properties that make
it ideal for use in radiators, that its really a
no brainer. Of course, they do look better in
older builds, or in rustic style properties, so
theyre not for everyone, but if they suit your
style and your budget, then you cant go wrong
with cast iron, and heres why 1. Cast iron is
strong Cast iron has a strange property in that
it is highly resistant to impact, and yet it will
shatter when dropped from too high up. Well, its
unlikely that youll drop your radiator from a
great height, so as far as thats concerned, its
a redundant point. Its ability to withstand high
impact, though, is dead on point when it comes to
radiators. Whereas other types of radiator will
show up every ding, knock and tap, cast iron
radiators wont. If you want radiators that will
keep their good looks for a long time, then cast
iron is the choice for you.

2. Cast iron is quiet Cast iron is an insulator
and is also highly resistant to heat. This has an
impact on the noisiness of the central heating
system. Cast iron radiators are far quieter than
other types of radiator. They dont creak,
because theyre not affected by the high
temperature, and consequently dont distort. They
also deaden any sounds that are produced, because
they act as an insulator. If you have noisy
radiators, and theyre annoying you, then you
could try bleeding and balancing the system,
followed by a boiler service, but if that fails,
then swap all your radiators for cast iron ones
and that should solve the problem. 3. Cast iron
looks the best Well, this isnt strictly true.
Rather, its column radiators that look best, and
cast iron ones are always column radiators.
Without a doubt, if you own a period cottage,

or if youre trying to achieve a Country
Living/Rustic look, then these are the only
choice of radiators for you. You can even add a
modern flare by painting the radiators a
different colour. Weve seen luminous pink column
radiators that look great it might not sound
right to you, but do a quick Google and youll
see what we mean (some of them are awful, but
some of them are great). 4. Cast iron lasts a
long time This is great for several different
reasons. Firstly, it means that they will
continue to look good. You wont have to decorate
them to touch them up very often. Next, they
require very little maintenance.

With other types of radiator, you will need to
watch out for problems with corrosion, such as
rust, but with cast iron, you dont have to even
start to consider this for at least 100 years
hopefully well all still be here! Even if you do
need to do some maintenance, the initial design
means that theyve changed very little overtime,
and that, consequently, its much easier to find
parts. And, because its easier to find, they
tend to be cheaper too. Its win win. If you
