TRADITIONAL RADIATOR FAQs
WHAT IS A TRADITIONAL RADIATOR?
A traditional radiator is a radiator that has a timeless and classic design, for example a Column Radiator or Cast Iron Radiator. The classic design of a column radiator will fill your home with character and add an element of vintage authenticity to any home. If you have a period property or just love all things vintage, a traditional radiator is the one for you.
DO TRADITIONAL RADIATORS WORK AS WELL AS MODERN ONES?
Vintage in design they may be, but they are certainly modern in function! All traditional radiators at Designer Radiator Showroom are manufactured to function perfectly with modern central heating systems and work the same way as modern radiator designs.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OR BUYING A TRADITIONAL RADIATOR?
Traditional Radiators come in a much larger variety of sizes as they are constructed section by section, meaning we can provide you with any size you need. This is an advantage as modern radiator designs typically come in a set range of sizes and may not have the exact specifications you need. There is also a much larger selection of finishes to choose from as most traditional radiators are bespoke products. Column style radiators also typically have a great heat output, due to their larger surface area which will maintain a constant flow of heat.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT FINISH OR COLOUR?
If you have found the traditional radiator of your dreams but can’t decide on the finish, don’t worry! Each radiator supplier will have colour charts available to view on their website and our expert sales team are on hand to advise on colour and finish choices every weekday. Most radiator suppliers can provide sample chips of their finishes too, so get in touch today.
WHAT WILL MY TRADITIONAL RADIATOR COME WITH?
If your Traditional Radiator is a Cast Iron model, your radiator will arrive by itself as it is a floor-standing design with integrated feet. If your radiator is a steel Column Radiator, all necessary brackets and fixings will be provided to allow you to wall mount your radiator. Additional radiator feet, valves, wall stays and bush ends are available separately and will provide the perfect finishing touches to your new traditional radiator.
