1200 x 600 Cast Iron Radiators

Top picks for a 1200 x 600 cast iron radiator equivalent

Montpellier: At 590mm height, the Montpellier is the closest model to 600mm tall in the range, sitting just 10mm under. Ornate French daisy pattern. Available with 3 to 40 sections (even longer sizes available on request). Specify around 16 to 20 sections for approximately 1200mm width.

Neo Georgian 4 Column: At 660mm height with 4-column depth for higher output per section. The nearest equivalent to a 1200 x 600 double panel in terms of heat output step-up. Available with 3 to 40 sections (even longer sizes available on request). Clean Arts and Crafts column lines that suit modern and period homes.

Victoriana 3 Column: At 645mm, the closest 3-column option to 600mm tall. Victorian-era styling with 3 to 40 sections (even longer sizes available on request). The 3-column depth gives moderate output, suited to standard rooms with typical heat demand.

Kensington: At 580mm, another ornate option close to 600mm tall, sitting just 20mm under. Ornate scrolled detailing with 3 to 40 sections (even longer sizes available on request). For rooms where an ornate cast iron radiator at approximately 600mm tall and 1200mm wide is the requirement.

Which height is closest to 600mm?

Our cast iron radiators range includes several models close to the 600mm height mark. The closest options are:

Victoriana 3 Column at 645mm (45mm over 600mm)

Pimlico at 660mm (60mm over 600mm)

Neo Georgian 4 Column at 660mm (60mm over 600mm)

Montpellier at 590mm (10mm under 600mm)

Kensington at 580mm (20mm under 600mm)

None of our models hit exactly 600mm. The Montpellier at 590mm is the closest match below 600mm. The Victoriana 3 Column at 645mm is the closest above, with the Elizabethan at 650mm just behind it. Call us if you need to match a specific height constraint precisely and we'll advise on the best fit.

How wide is 1200mm in sections?

Section width varies by model. As a general guide, most Paladin sectional cast iron radiators run at approximately 60mm to 75mm per section. To cover approximately 1200mm of wall width, you would typically need between 16 and 20 sections depending on the model. Our team can confirm the exact section count for any model to match your wall width. Use our radiator configurator to confirm the BTU output needed for your room, then call us to spec the right section count.

Single and double: what that means in cast iron

A 1200 x 600 single panel radiator has one panel of steel with no convector fins. A 1200 x 600 double panel has two panels with convector fins between them for higher output. These are steel radiator categories.

In cast iron, the equivalent distinction is column depth. A 2-column model gives less output per section. A 4 or 6-column model gives substantially more. If you've been looking at a 1200 x 600 double for higher output, the answer in cast iron is to increase column depth rather than add a second panel.
