Custom Painting

Standard Custom Painting in a multitude of colours

We supply Cast Iron Radiators by default with either black or white primed finishes. It is difficult to paint radiators once they have been built due to the inaccessible areas. With hand painting or spraying becomes almost impossible to achieve a uniform coating. For all cast Iron Radiators we have a painting service with a choice of colours to suit every occasion. The range of possibilities is virtually limitless, every color from the Farrow and Ball Historical color range with a choice of eggshell, semi gloss or full gloss finishes is available. In addition you can specify you a RAL number, BS number or paint name. And last but not least we have our own range of metallic colors, shown below.

Anthracite	Antique Gold	Copper	Natural Cast	Old Penny	Old Pewter	Pewter	Sovereign Gold

Antiqued Effect

To complete the appearance of your radiator we have developed an antiqued effect, this effect is available on all Historical and metallic colours. The technique is particularly effective on the raise etched surfaces of radiators. This antique look give a truly authentic appearance to our radiators.

Highlight Effect

To go one step further we have the highlighting effect. The dramatic and atmospheric appearance created by highlighting is created by first painting in any of the Historical or metallic colours and then highlighting in either Antique Gold, Pewter or Copper. The result is stunning, enough to take your breath away. Below are some examples of highlight effects.

Polishing Service

Traditional Polishing Service

Now you can accentuate the detail of your selected radiator to create the perfect centre piece.
This specialised process involves each section of your radiator being hand polished to produce that handsome antique look. Every detail of the radiator is highlighted. All areas that are easily accessible for oiling or visible are polished.

Mouret Range	Bellini	Chedeville Range

Full Polishing Service

The traditional polishing service only polishes visible and easily accessible parts of the radiator. When the radiator is not adjacent to a wall it may be seen from all sides, in this case the full polishing service is required, the full radiator will be polished by this service.

* Please note : Polished radiators have the bare cast iron polished, the surface of cast iron is susceptible to rusting and as a result polished radiators are not suitable for bathrooms or other rooms of high humidity. Polished radiators will also need to be oiled to maintain their appearance (Hint : Baby oil works perfect, and smells nice too!)

Wall Stays

Wall stays also known as wall brackets and wall ties, are required for maximum safety. We offer a choice of our standard wall stay or for the maximum effect, a luxury Auber Stay is also available in a selection of five finishes to suit your individual radiator. All our cast iron radiators are free standing with feet cast into the end sections giving an authentic finish. Cast Iron radiators are very stable on even floors, however due to the heavy weight, should your floor be uneven or you have young children we recommend you attach the radiator to a wall with wall stays, two stays are required for each radiator.

We have a selection of standard wall stays to fit each type of cast iron radiator
