Nightingale Electric Radiators

• Lead time: All cast iron radiators are by special order: approximately 1 to 2 weeks. Special order means that, once manufacture has commenced, orders cannot be cancelled.
• Finishes: Choose from our Treasury range of traditional paint finishes, hand-painted antiqued and highlighted finishes or colour matches to a huge range of paints including any Farrow & Ball or Little Greene shades.  For more information about cast iron radiator finishes, see Finishes information below.
• Quality: Our radiator sections are joined together using seals that have been specifically sourced to ensure a neat finish between sections. This avoids the risk of paint issues that have been seen in cast iron radiators where standard seals are used.
• Pre filled – your cast iron radiator will be set up, that means the liquid in it, element installed with head to attach on arrival. This will be as simple as moving it into your home from the pallet and your choice of either adding a plug or wiring into a fuse spur. Once the head is added you will be ready to go and begin heating. Weight should be considered as most models start at a filled weight of 42kgs and can go up to 122kgs plus.
• Electric element: This radiator is a central heating radiator that is supplied with a DIY electrification kit – full installation instructions are provided.
  • The element has a dial on it to enable you to adjust the temperature (operating range 20-70°C) or set it to “frost protection” when not in use.
  • It does not have a timer as standard.
  • It can be upgraded to add extra functions and controls, via in-house controllers or via an app on your device(s); the aim being to minimize energy wastage and maximise efficiency - contact our sales team for more information.
  • Please allow an extra 60mm width to allow space for the element control box.
  • The element control box is white as standard.  A set range of other finishes are available on request for a surcharge.
  • The electric element has 1m of white flex.
  • 240V on/off operation.

• Long radiators: Sizes over 1200mm wide will arrive in more than one block to make them easier to move around, meaning they need to be joined together on site. Therefore a joining tool is required and can be supplied on a sale or return basis (£120 refundable deposit). Remember to add a joining tool to your order via Joining tools. Contact our team to discuss the best way to return the tool and ensure a refund.

Finishes

 

All our cast iron radiators are available in a wide range of finishes, including traditional metallic paints and colour matches to popular paint ranges such as Farrow & Ball. Our images show a selection of the finishes available but please be aware that the images shown are for illustrative purposes and colours may not be accurately reproduced on a computer screen. Therefore more accurate colour cards and swatches can be sent by post to help you ensure you can make an informed choice - please contact our team to request samples.

 

Primer: This is available on request.  Primer is a base coat ready for on-site painting or for delivery direct to your chosen painting company in the UK. Please be aware that we advise against leaving the radiators in a just a primer finish; a top coat is required to ensure protection against airborne moisture. We also strongly advise against powder-coating cast iron radiators as this process can weaken the seals between sections, therefore powder-coating will invalidate any manufacturer’s guarantee.

 

Paint finishes:

• Traditional matt metallics - see options list and colour card shown;
• Farrow & Ball colour matches - choose from any of the range;
• Little Greene Paint Co colour matches - choose from any of the range; or
• Bespoke colour match - we can colour match to any other non-textured paint range (including RAL, Aga, Rayburn, Fired Earth, Paint Library and Dulux colours).
• Antiqued paint finish - A special finishing technique is used on top any of the standard paint finishes in order to give the radiators an aged look. Please bear in mind that this effect is done by hand so finishes will vary. This effect can be combined with a highlighted finish.
• Highlighted paint finish - Details in the radiator pattern are picked out with a contrasting colour on top of any of the standard paint finishes. Please bear in mind that this effect is done by hand so finishes will vary. This effect can be combined with an antiqued finish.

Warnings:

• Shade variations may occur from one paint batch to the next and, over the years, our traditional metallic paints have changed slightly as these are hand-made. Accordingly, where radiators are to be used in the same room and/or a colour match is important, it is advisable to order all radiators at the same time. If you are looking to colour match to radiators ordered previously, please make us aware of this at time of order so we can minimise shade variation.
• Cast iron radiators by nature have a textured finish. For a smooth finish, please see our steel column models such as the Classic, Colori and Bordo ranges. Light coloured paint finishes such as silver, white and cream will highlight the imperfections characteristic of cast iron more than the darker colours.
• DO NOT powder coat cast iron radiators; this process can weaken the seals between sections which will lead to leaks. Powder coating will invalidate the manufacturer’s guarantee.
