Copper Cast Iron Radiators

Top picks for copper cast iron radiators

Montpellier: The daisy radiator in Paladin copper with the Antiqued paint effect. French late 1890s origin, floral carving on every section. That level of detail worked over with an antiqued finish gives something that looks like aged copper plumbing salvaged from a Victorian building and turned into art. Available in 590mm or 790mm heights with 3 to 40 sections, from £56.00 per section before finishing.

Oxford: French Victorian styling, scalloped top, interwoven feet. In copper or bronze the Oxford suits the kind of kitchen where copper pans hang on the wall. Available in 470mm, 570mm or 765mm heights with 3 to 40 sections.

Louis: Rococo cast iron in Paladin copper with the Highlight paint effect sits at the junction of where copper, bronze and gold all meet. The sculpted surface carries a picked-out highlight better than almost any model in the range. Available in 560mm or 760mm heights with 3 to 40 sections.

Bartholomew: Clean column profile in bronze suits modern interiors that use copper as an accent rather than the main event. A Bartholomew in bronze with antique copper valves is the understated route to the copper aesthetic. Available in 570mm or 740mm heights with 3 to 40 sections, from £53.17 per section.

Victoriana 3 Column: The classic Victorian-era design in copper or bronze reads as period-appropriate copper. Suits properties with copper plumbing runs, copper kitchen hardware and warm original flooring. Available in 450mm, 645mm or 745mm heights with 3 to 40 sections. Even longer sizes are available on request.

Copper radiators by room

Copper bathroom radiators: the combination of Paladin copper and antique copper valves suits a bathroom built around unlacquered brass taps, copper fittings and warm natural materials. The Montpellier at 590mm or Victoriana 3 Column at 645mm both suit typical bathroom wall dimensions.

Copper radiators for living rooms and kitchens: bronze or copper in a large section on an Oxford or Neo Georgian suits an open-plan kitchen-diner with copper pans, brass hardware and warm wood. A Bartholomew in bronze is the quieter version of the same idea.

Copper column radiators for hallways: an antiqued copper Louis or Oxford in a period hallway gives immediate warm character alongside copper door furniture and antique brass light fittings.

Copper on cast iron: what's actually possible

Steel radiators can be powder-coated or plated in copper colours. Cast iron radiators can't be copper-plated in the same way. What they can be is painted in a true Paladin copper, then worked over by hand so the finish carries genuine age and variation rather than a flat, uniform coat. The result sits naturally in the copper-bronze family.

Four ways to get the copper look on a Paladin cast iron radiator

Copper body finish: standard Paladin copper from £9.91 per section. A solid warm copper colour. Available across every model and every height.

Antiqued or highlighted paint effect: £18.59 per section for the Antiqued Paint Effect, £37.54 per section for the Highlight Paint Effect, both worked over Paladin copper by hand. Genuine variation across each section, closer to aged copper patina than anything a flat spray finish can produce.

Antique copper valves and accessories: Antique Copper is a standard valve finish available across our thermostatic and manual valve ranges. The Canterbury thermostatic set is £108.55 in Antique Copper. Antique Copper pipe sleeve kits are £37.75. Antique Copper luxury wall stays are £35.40. A painted copper or bronze radiator with a full set of antique copper fittings gives a cohesive copper installation.

Farrow & Ball warm tones on ornate models: Farrow & Ball Red Earth No.64 and London Clay No.244 give warm earthy tones that sit in the same visual territory as aged copper on a heavily detailed ornate model. From £18.59 per section.
