Heat pump vs gas boiler: which one works best with cast iron radiators?
Estimated reading time: 6 minutes A gas boiler suits homeowners who want a familiar, lower-cost installation and don’t mind a slightly higher long-term running cost. A heat pump suits homeowners planning to stay in their home for years, who can claim government grant support and want lower-carbon heating. The real difference between the two isn’t…
Do you need larger cast iron radiators with a heat pump?
Cast iron radiators are often a touch bigger on a heat pump than they’d be on a gas boiler, though not always by much, and not necessarily a different radiator altogether. Because you can add sections to most Paladin models, getting more output usually means lengthening the radiator you already like rather than swapping it…
What are the best radiator colours to choose from?
Grey and black are the two most popular radiator colours in the UK right now, with white, anthracite and traditional cast iron finishes like bronze and gold close behind. The best choice for your home depends on your wall colour, the style of the room and how much upkeep you’re happy to take on. Take…

What are the best cast iron radiators for air source heat pumps?

Getting the sizing right still matters though, and browsing our cast iron radiators range is a good place to start before…
Where is the best place to buy radiators in the UK?

What Are The Best Cast Iron Radiators To Buy In The UK?
Estimated reading time: 8 minutes So you’re looking at cast iron radiators. Good choice. They last longer, hold heat better and look far more interesting than a standard panel radiator ever will.

Energy Efficient Radiators
Choosing an energy efficient radiator means understanding what efficiency actually means for your heating system. Our cast iron radiators work differently to a standard panel rad. The thermal mass holds heat long after the boiler stops, so the boiler runs less to maintain room temperature. Correctly sized, TRV-controlled and built to last decades, our cast…
Period Properties: Choosing the Right Radiators for Character Homes
Estimated reading time: around 10 minutes Britain’s period properties are unlike anything modern construction can replicate.
