With vintage very much being on trend right now, many business and home owners are looking to get a touch of period-style in their properties, to give it more character and fabulous focal pieces. And what better way to do this than installing cast iron radiators. Surprisingly these traditional style radiators that have been around since the 19th Century, are still incredibly popular today and work well in both period and contemporary settings. We’re taking a look at some of the famous landmarks, which have opted to install cast iron radiators, either to be in keeping with the property or just add a little panache and flair.

Dumfries House

Knight of the Order of the Thistle (1752) and heir to his mother’s title, William Crichton-Dalrymple retired to his Ayrshire estate after resigning his commission from the army in 1743. Early mention of plans to build a new house on the estate finally came to fruition when the young Adam brothers, John, Robert and James submitted their completed drawings in 1754. After the death of his wife in 1755 the Earl furnished the house single-handedly drawing largely on the rococo style, both English and Scottish, and thereby created one of the most treasured interiors of the Scottish Enlightenment that has recently been refurbished using Cast Iron Radiators handpicked by HRH Prince Charles.
