Creating the Ambiance of an Era With Victorian Radiators
As the nights are drawing in and the days are becoming ever shorter as we approach winter, it is hard not to notice the fact that the temperature is falling at a considerable rate and people must be concerned about staying warm so as to reduce the likelihood that they will fall ill with the traditional winter ailments and conditions such as the flu as well as the common cold (both of which afflict a great number of Britons each year).
One of the best ways of avoiding falling ill at this time is of course to remain warm both whilst outside as well as in the home.
It is obvious, however, that the most traditional and one of the most effective ways of heating a home (by which of course refers to the use of log fires) is unsuitable for the majority of households for a variety of reasons (such as the potential difficulty in obtaining sufficient supplies of wood and coal), the most obvious one being that the majority of modern houses (built since the early 20th century) are not equipped with fireplaces.
Therefore, it is infinitely more likely that the average British citizen would use electric radiators to warm their homes if their central heating is not producing enough heat to keep the winter climate at bay.
However, many people may be reluctant to use the simple metal convector heaters (the most commonly used model of radiator) as they may not fit into the overall aesthetic of the home, particularly those houses decorated with a more traditional and old fashioned décor.
In these cases it may be more beneficial for these homeowners to use cast iron radiators as although they take a far greater time to warm up than electric heaters, they are able to retain far more heat than the conventional electric heaters.
This means that such heaters are able to warm up a room even after being turned off, possibly resulting in homes being kept warm whilst the owner is out so that they are able to return to a warm house, thereby arguably reducing the chances of catching a cold or other similar illnesses.
Victorian Radiators are a good example of such heaters.
There are several firms who are able to create such bespoke heaters for their customers who desire a traditional polished radiator in the style of those produced in 1880's America, which are able to bring a room an old fashioned and contemporary feel.
