Project Board

Paladin Radiators are very passionate about cast iron radiators and have over 10 years of experience in producing stunning cast iron radiators within our unique UK Paladin Workshop.

Over the years Paladin have been very proud to be chosen as a National Trust Registered Supplier and work with architects and interior designers on many beautiful and magnificent public and privately owned period properties as well as interesting building projects and unusual installation choices such as narrow boats and double-decker buses. We are also a member of the Listed Property Owners Club and have conducted many renovations with its members utilising Paladin cast iron radiators. From famous locations such as Apsley House No.1 London and the Queen's official residence, Government House Nova Scotia to the red double-decker bus of Camden Estate Agents and the renovated fort off the South coast of Britain, many locations have benefited from the Paladin cast iron radiator.

Many contemporary homes have taken advantage of the Paladin cast iron radiator, blending with the modern environment and adding a dimension to the interior design with colour. It is not so easy to show these many projects and to try and bring some images for you to see.

Here are a few of the interesting projects we have worked on and provided cast iron radiators for.

CHATEAU MIRAVAL

In 2012 Paladin Radiators provided Bartholomew cast iron radiators for the heating refurbishment of Chateau Miraval in Correns, South of France.

There is a recording studio within Chateau Miraval, Sting has recorded there and Pink Floyd also recorded tracks for The Wall album.
