Carron Princess Cast Iron Radiators

Our Cast Iron Radiators are available in a wide variety of finishes, below is information on the main finishes but if you have a particular finish in mind contact us to discuss.

Primer Finish

Primer is basically an undercoat which needs finishing in order to prevent rusting. It is possible to paint our cast iron radiators yourself using the correct paint, however we do recommend you leave it to us to get a good finish and often its the most cost effective option long term.

Painted Finish

We paint our radiators to achieve a highly durable paint finish. On top of the primer we paint all the sections individually before assembly.  Once the radiators are assembled and pressure tested they are given a final overspray. Our Cast iron Radiators are available in some of our standard finishes such as Foundry Grey, and we can colour match to most of the major paint companies. 

Antique Finish

The Antique Finish is achieved is achieved by layering paint shades and highlighting the detail of the radiator. This gives an aged appearance.  We have some of the standard antique finishes on the site however we can antique most colours if required.

Highlight Polish

Radiators with a highlighted polish are generally finished with a black base coat then the detail is then polished out to leave a polished silver finish to the detail.  We have also done gold and copper highlight finish.

Our specialist team are capable of creating stunning finishes, if you are looking for something different, just ask.

Hand Burnished Effect

The Hand Burnished effect is achieved by polishing the sections back to the bare cast iron. The radiators are then sealed to protect them.  It is a beautiful finish however some maintain is required to keep them looking their best.  Every 8/10 weeks use a polishing cloth with WD40 ensuring your hand burnished cast iron radiators remain free of rust.

Our Cast iron Radiators come ready assembled upto 20 sections, we can supply larger sizes which may require some on-site assembly.

The radiators are delivered in one peice complete with bleed valves and connection bushes ready for the radiator valves to be connected.

All you need to install your radiators is a pair of valves. Period House store has a wide selection of traditional radiator valves which can be viewed below.

We recommend using wall stays which further secure the radiators, although they are free standing. We also supply pipe shrouds which cover the feed pipes to the valves and also the hole in the floor.

Our Cast Iron Radiators are delivered using a Palet Delivery Network. It is a kerbside drop, which means that the radiators are delivered on a pallet. The driver will unload the pallet of the delivery wagon and using a pallet truck will wheel it where he can on a flat surface or into a garage.  he does not lift them into the house.  We can give you trackers on the day to give you an idea of time, also some of our customers choose to have them delivered to their builders/plumbers work address if they have one.

When your cast iron radiators are ready our sales team will call you to arrange a delivery day that suits you best.
