A Unique Collection Of Heritage Cast Iron Radiators
The Old Radiator Co. is a treasure trove of reclaimed cast iron radiators. Part of Castrads since the beginning of 2024, the collection includes British and American castings from the leading manufacturers of the 1890s up to the 1920s.
At Castrads, we’ve specialised in custom-made cast iron radiators for the past 20 years, but our roots lie in architectural salvage. Introducing restored antique radiators to our range brings the company full circle, as we continue to celebrate the enduring beauty of original, century-old radiators.

Cast Iron For The Modern Home
Our logo is inspired by the decorative timberwork of Underbank Hall, a 16th-century house in the historic centre of Stockport, our home town.
This symbol of our home unites our three brands: bespoke cast iron radiators by Castrads, antique reclaimed radiators by The Old Radiator Co. and British-made cast iron cookware by Hornbeam.
Home is at the heart of everything we do. We’re about comfort and warmth, cooking and eating: the things that make your house a home.
