Cast Iron Radiator Restoration

Complete restoration. To update your central water or steam system.

Restored antique cast iron radiators deliver optimal performance by stripping away layers of paint and cleaning the interior, both of which improve radiant heat transfer.

  • Preserves the aesthetic value and the heritage of the heating system already in place.
  • Allows an optimal integration to the central water/steam heating system of the building being restored.
  • Optimizes the current system by possible addition, replacement or resizing of radiators.
  • Limits restoration costs by reusing original radiators.
  • Tangibly and measurably reduces energy consumption.
  • Provides complete peace of mind by reducing the risk of damage associated with aging equipment and by offering an eco-friendly solution.
The restoration process we use to restore our original cast iron radiators has evolved over 15 years of research and development.
