Using cast iron radiators to heat a home is energy efficient and environmentally friendly according to one of the leading suppliers of cast iron products, Tuscan Foundry Products. Cast iron is effective in spreading and retaining heat evenly for a much longer period. Also, cast iron is sustainable as it can be melted down and reused.
Cast iron was one of the first materials used for radiators during Victorian times and is still one of the most efficient ways to heat a room. Tuscan Foundry Products has replicated the traditional designs of the Victorian and Nouveau radiator to provide bespoke reproductions to heat any size of the room efficiently.

The Benefits of Cast Iron Radiators
“More and more people are discovering the benefits of using cast iron radiators for their aesthetics but also their performance. Before buying a reproduction cast iron radiator or getting one from the salvage yard, work out the heat requirements of your room beforehand as cast iron will give off a lot of heat.”
Reproduction Cast Iron Radiators
Tuscan Foundry Products’ ‘Victorian’ cast iron radiator lends itself to both contemporary and traditional interiors. The ‘Nouveau’ cast iron radiator features a relief scrolled pattern to create a more authentic look. Both reproduction radiators are available in sections and have the option of an independent heating element. Electrads can be plugged directly into a standard wall socket or hard-wired into your electrical system.
