Modern Cast Iron Radiators

Cast iron isn't just for period homes. Our modern cast iron radiators bring the heat retention and weight of traditional cast iron together with clean profiles and contemporary finishes that suit minimalist interiors, mid-century homes and modern new builds. 

What modern cast iron radiator options do we offer?

Browse our full cast iron radiators range for models with clean modern lines. For the slimmest contemporary profile, our 2 column cast iron radiators sit close to the wall. For more presence, our 4 column cast iron radiators work brilliantly in open-plan modern spaces.

Why pick a modern cast iron radiator?

Think about what a basic white panel rad does in a contemporary room: blends into the wall, heats fast, cools fast. A modern cast iron radiator does the opposite. It becomes a feature. The thermal mass holds heat for hours after the boiler stops, giving steady warmth instead of constant cycling. Looks better. Heats better.

Finish it your way

Match it to any colour we offer, including our Farrow & Ball and Little Greene partnerships. Modern interiors love our matt heritage greens, soft greys and deep blacks. Or hand polish to a mirror shine for a contemporary metallic feature. Pair with valves, wall stays and pipe sleeves in your chosen finish.

Clean column lines that suit either modern or period homes. Available in 360mm, 505mm, 660mm, 760mm or 960mm heights with 3 to 40 sections. The 360mm or 505mm in a long section count works beautifully under picture windows in modern living rooms.

Are modern wall mounted cast iron radiators available?

Are modern cast iron style radiators the same as real cast iron?
+
Modern cast iron style radiators are typically pressed steel made to look like cast iron, with much lower thermal mass. Real cast iron radiators from Paladin retain heat for longer. The look is similar; the performance is not.
Is a modern cast iron look radiator as efficient as the real thing?
+
A modern cast iron look radiator made from steel cools quickly once the boiler stops. Genuine cast iron holds and radiates heat long after the system cycles off, which means the real thing keeps your room warmer for longer with the same boiler runtime.
Are contemporary cast iron radiators different from traditional ones?
+
Contemporary cast iron radiators from Paladin share the same cast iron core and thermal mass as traditional models but are finished and styled for modern interiors. Clean column profiles, bold contemporary colours and polished metal effects make them as much a design statement as a heat source.
