With modern interior design trends focusing on minimalism, it can be easy to assume that our interiors should feature sleek and contemporary designs. While cast iron radiators are reminiscent of the Victorian era, they are far from contemporary. Here at Heatingpoint, we strongly believe there’s room for the grand columns and ornate details of cast iron radiators in modern homes. Whether you’d like to enhance the features of your period property or put a traditional spin on a contemporary space, there’s always a way to fit a cast iron radiator into your interior style.
Enhance your period property with a central heating radiator
Inspired by the swirling, decorative style of the art nouveau movement, our traditional cast iron radiators are the ideal radiator choice for an elegant period property.
Terma Oxford
The Terma Oxford Cast Iron Radiator combines the intricate beauty of a Victorian radiator with the efficiency of a modern heating system so, with this retro radiator, celebrating the traditional features of your property has never been so easy. Available in a raw metal finish, the Oxford blends ornate design with a chic industrial style in a way that enables you to add period character and charm to any property.
Blend tradition & modernity with an electric radiator
If your modern home celebrates a minimal style, a designer electric radiator could be your perfect statement piece.
Ecostrad Allerton iQ
The Ecostrad Allerton iQ boasts the superior thermodynamic properties of stainless steel but also mirrors the traditional column style of a cast iron radiator. This allows you to blend the charm of tradition with greater efficiency. In comparison with the beautifully ornate design of the Terma Oxford, the Allerton iQ comes in both a sleek anthracite and glossy white finish, making it a fusion of tradition and modernity that would be an ideal choice for a contemporary home.
Cast iron radiators: gas or electric?
Finding a radiator that suits your personal style is key to curating your dream home but taking the efficiency of your heating system into account is equally important. Both the Oxford and the Allerton iQ are double-panelled, meaning their surface area and heat output are maximised. So, with our range of efficient cast iron radiators, you’re free to prioritise design and pick the perfect radiator for your style.
