Now You Have A Real Choice

When you take over an old property with a view to completely refurbishing it and creating something new, fresh and original then the only problem is knowing when to stop ripping out all the old stuff.

For instance, with the floor alone do you stop at ripping out all the old fitted carpets and underlay or do you carry on and remove the uneven and creaking floorboards? Perhaps after that step you might go the whole hog and remove the beetle eaten joists.

When bringing a middle to late twentieth century apartment’s décor into the twenty-first century it might also be worthwhile removing the whole of the central heating system.

If the boiler is more than ten years old it may still work but it will not last forever and it certainly will not be as efficient as the very latest slim-line wall mounted eco-saver choices on offer.

The other pleasure of removing the old system is the removal of a dozen boring white wall mounted radiators.

Take a look at new catalogues of radiators available today and the choices are sensational from very chic, sleek mirrored effect bathroom radiators to replica Victorian designer radiators.

When you consider the whole simple purpose of a radiator it should make very little difference what the shape is or whether it is thin-skinned steel or heavy and thick cast iron.

In fact the old solid looking cast iron ones are much better at retaining and radiating heat long after the system is switched off than the steel radiators that cool-off much more quickly.

The latest exciting range of radiators means that instead of being a boring white slab of metal against the sitting room or bedroom wall they can be bright painted additions to the overall décor of the room.

It seems it is possible to call anything a designer creation these days but in the case of the new generation of radiators it is worth looking back just a few years when the design of them all was so uniform and standardised that when people ordered new radiators for a new central heating system they didn’t even bother to look at them until they were delivered.
