Cast Iron Electric Radiators

What are the benefits of cast iron electric radiators?

• Traditional styling: Column designs and decorative detailing create a classic look that works particularly well in period properties and vintage inspired interiors.
• Modern electric heating: Enjoy the appearance of a traditional cast iron radiator without connecting to a boiler or central heating pipework.
• Can be used in isolation: Each radiator heats independently using an electric heating element.
• Substantial construction: Cast iron provides a solid, traditional radiator design with a distinctive presence in the room.
• Choice of sizes: Different wattages, heights, widths and section counts make it easier to find an option for your space.

 

Do cast iron electric radiators need to be connected to central heating?

No, cast iron electric radiators operate independently of your central heating system. They use an electric heating element to warm the radiator, so there's no need to connect them to a boiler or central heating pipework. 

This makes them a great option for rooms where you want standalone electric heating while retaining the look of a traditional radiator.

What size cast iron electric radiator do I need?

The right size depends on your room's heating requirements, available wall space and the radiator's heat output. 

Factors such as room dimensions, insulation, windows and external walls can all impact how much heat a room needs, so take these into consideration when calculating the wattage you need. 

Our range includes 900W, 1500W and 2000W models, so compare the power ratings, dimensions and section counts to find a suitable option.

 

Which rooms suit cast iron electric radiators?

Cast iron electric radiators can suit a range of spaces, particularly where you want to combine a vintage style with convenient, independent heating. They're worth considering for:

• Period properties: Complement traditional architectural features and vintage-inspired interiors.
• Living rooms: Create a classic focal point while providing supplementary warmth.
• Bedrooms: Add traditional character with independently controlled electric heating.
• Extensions and renovated spaces: Provide heating without needing to connect to existing central heating pipework.

Always check the radiator's wattage against the heating requirements of your chosen room.
