The Art of Custom Radiator Design: Bringing Your Vision to Life

Cast iron radiators are a worthwhile investment, but they become even more valuable when you can customise them to suit your own aesthetic. At Paladin, we understand the importance of being able to create a home that truly expresses your own taste. 

A Cast iron radiator is a beautiful focal point in any room, catching the attention of guests and being admired by everyone present. Along with their practical benefits, such as superior heat retention and the ability to last a lifetime, their classic design that provokes thoughts of time past is what makes these radiators truly special. 

Firstly, you pick your design, whether you’re looking for something understated with simple lines and a timeless appearance like the Bartholomew or you prefer opulent and intricate designs sweeping your cast iron radiator like on the Montpellier, emitting romance through its delicate daisy and ribbons pattern, which flows from the ornate foot of the radiator to the top.

Here’s what we have to offer at Paladin Radiators: 

Paladin Colours: Our colours are super hard-wearing, high quality, and washable, ideal for family homes and high-traffic areas. Paladin colours are quite traditional, and what you may expect from a classic cast iron radiator: Anthracite Black, Gold and Copper. There is something quite regal about these choices. 

Farrow & Ball: Their range is renowned for its high-quality, historical, and authentic period paint colours, and it is designed to add a unique and timeless allure to your radiators. However, they also offer bold and unique choices such as Charlotte Locks Orange, Babouche Yellow, and Yeabridge Green, which are eye-catching options that are sure to make it even more of a focal point. 

Little Greene: Well-known for their quality paint, we’re proud to partner with Little Greene and believe you’ll love them. Their range of colours is vast, and there is something to suit all styles, from muted greens to bright yellows and a stunning Mischief Pink that mixes magenta and violet to an intoxicating effect.

Specialised Paint Effects: We offer antiqued paint effects and highlighted paint effects. The antiqued effect enhances the raised features of your ornate cast iron radiator.

There is something for everyone, from creams to greens, colds and natural cast.
