Introducing the New One Inch Valve for historical houses and steam heating systemsTraditional Radiator Valves are pleased to introduce the new Castle valve, following demand from customers with steam heating systems and those who are restoring historical and stately homes. The larger homes and steam heating systems tend to use a 1 inch pipework to maximise the heating system and to allow the heated water to flow over a longer span. Similarly the steam systems use the larger 1 inch pipework in order to allow maximum efficiency from a steam system. Honed from solid brass and hand made in the UK, the Castle radiator valves are superior to any other valves on the market. With a choice of five finishes - antique copper, antique brass, polished brass, chrome, bright nickel and satin nickel – and an American Walnut handwheel in either clear or black lacquer these valves will enhance any installation of radiators. Customer feedback for these valves is incredibly positive. One customer has spent over £200,000 on a restoration and feels that the best buy for the whole project was the valves. These are made in the traditional way with a quality finish that cannot be surpassed. With a choice between a cast brass valve and a handmade valve, the quality of the new Castle valve available from http://www.traditional-radiator-valves.co.uk is far, far superior. A matching lockshield valve can be ordered for those systems that require them. So if you are looking for a top quality finish to your home, radiators or project, the attention to detail will stand out. These valves are only available from Traditional Radiator Valves, and are made to order to your specification. They are complete with a five year manufacturer’s guarantee. Place your order today to ensure early delivery for your project. You will not be disappointed. For professional customers who would like to order a sample, we would be pleased to offer a refund on the cost of the sample against any order of 20 or more units, so you can buy with confidence and show potential customers the amazing quality of these valves.

Cast Iron Radiators - Back in FashionThe design of the cast iron radiator passed through many stages with continuous development, especially during the Victorian period when cast iron became a decorative feature within the home. However, it was not really until the early 20th century that cast iron radiators brought central heating to Britain. In fact, very few homes had the luxury of central heating until well into the 1950s. As styles changed, so did the popularity of radiators. Although, homeowners loved the comforts of central heating, the radiator was considered obtrusive within a room. The marvel of a foundryman's art in making thin cast iron ornate radiators became a thing of the past, as enclosing radiators behind boxed grills and painting them to disguise them within a room become the new interior challenge. Therefore we have now in fact gone full circle, as big bulky cast iron radiators with peeling paint salvaged mainly from demolished hospitals and schools have made a reappearance as a fashionable must have interior feature. Today's trend of restoring Victorian and Edwardian interiors back to their original splendour has launched the revival of the cast iron radiator which now claims pride of place in living areas. Our new radiators have none of the inherent problems in reclaimed radiators, such as poor restoration or faulty seals. Our radiators come with a 10 year guarantee, to give you both beauty and peace of mind. Last Updated (Monday, 18 October 2010 20:28) |
