Kensington Cast Iron Radiator

The Kensington Vintage Cast Iron Radiator

Some designs date themselves the moment you look at them. The Kensington doesn’t, even though it draws directly from a bygone era. Its scrolled, fluid detailing gives this vintage style radiator a decorative edge without tipping into anything overworked.

We hand build every Kensington at our factory in Lincolnshire, backed by a 10 year guarantee.

A Vintage Style Radiator That Suits More Than One Setting

Why does a vintage cast iron radiator like the Kensington work in so many different spaces? Because the detailing is confident rather than heavy handed, so it reads as a feature wherever it’s put.

It’s a natural choice for a traditional refurbishment and it holds up just as well in a barn or warehouse conversion, where there’s enough scale in the room to match its presence. But don’t assume it only belongs in a period setting. Drop it into a modern interior and the contrast tends to work in its favour, giving the room a bit of unexpected character.

The scrolled detail also responds well to finish. Our hand painted highlight option or an antique paint effect both help bring out the depth of the casting, rather than flattening it under a single block colour.

Freestanding Design

The Kensington is a freestanding radiator so it isn’t limited to a wall mounted position. That gives you more flexibility over where it sits in the room – useful if you want it as a genuine centrepiece rather than tucked against a skirting board.

Available Heights

Three heights are available, so you can match the Kensington to your room.

• 580mm: the shortest option, suited to standard sized rooms without much wall height to spare.
• 750mm: a taller option offering more surface area and heat output.
• 780mm: the tallest of the three, giving the scrolled detailing the most room to unfold. The 780mm model has the decorative etched crown.

Available Columns

Sections run from 3 up to 40, so the Kensington can be sized to suit almost any room. Even longer sizes are available on request.

• Compact, 3 to 10 columns: works well as a feature piece in a smaller room.
• Mid range, 11 to 25 columns: the range most people choose for living rooms and larger bedrooms.
• Extended, 26 to 40 columns: suited to barn conversions, warehouse spaces or larger period rooms.

Each added column keeps the same scrolled detail running through, so the design holds together at any length you choose.
