How Are Trads Cast Iron Radiators Made?

1

Fettling & Rubbing Down The Sections

Each cast iron radiator section is meticulously checked for marks and imperfections. They are then fettled and rubbed down in preparation to be painted, polished or hand burnished.

Spraying The Radiator Sections

To achieve a highly durable paint finish, we first prime and paint all the radiator sections individually, assuring each section is evenly covered.

High Pressure Testing

All our radiators are put through vigorous and robust testing. A continuous high pressure is applied for a minimum of 24 hours at a rate well beyond that of normal water pressure found in UK domiciles.
