Enter the varied world of the antique cast iron radiator

The variety of antique iron radiators is very wide, which allows the contractor and homeowner to find the perfect cast iron heater for the space.

I recommend: The best places to find antique cast iron radiators are New England Demolition and Salvage and Antique Plumbing and Radiators. These stores offer a cast iron radiator salvage service that takes used cast iron radiators from buildings slated for demolition.

Explore new cast iron radiators

If going the route of the antique cast iron radiator is not acceptable, go with a modern cast iron radiator. You can choose new cast iron radiators that look old or ones that look modern.

I recommend: Burnham Hydronics makes what looks like a Victorial ornate cat iron radiator, as well as the more modern-appearing radiant or slender cast iron radiator. You can choose from a variety of column radiators and decor radiators at Mysoninc.

Get the right iron radiator for the space

The efficiency of the radiator depends on the size of the space

I recommend: The Colonial Supply website helps you determine the size of radiator you need for your space. If installing a new or antique cast iron radiator, a plumber who is familiar with cast iron radiators, like those at Stevenson Plumbing and Heating, will need to hook it up.
