| Cast Iron Radiators - Carron PeerlessThe Carron Peerless Cast Iron Radiators were formerly manufactured by the American Radiator Company in the 1900's, this vintage cast iron radiator design has stood the test of time and features a crisp centre line detail. The Peerless is available in a wide selection on finishes and we have an extensive selection of radiator Valves and Accessories. This model was originally used in hospitals as the sections have a wider gap to allow easier cleaning.
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 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.
Product Handling Cast iron Radiators are very heavy and you must make sure that you have manpower/lifing equipment when moving your radiators into place. The most common cause of leaks is the strain on the gaskets when carrying the radiator incorrectly, this is easily avoidable if they are moved correctly with care. You must ensure that the radiators are only moved in the upright position once removed from the pallet to prevent flexing of the seals. The most common method is to support the radiator in an upright position between the fins by using a suitable support bar at each end as shown below.
