Show us your fanciest radiators you've installed! We would love to see them!

I love this Milano vertical radiator in the kitchen space.

What do you think?
 
I also came across this one in a Wetherspoons at the weekend. I quite like the old fashioned types.

Forgot to take an installed photo, will when I go back to fit the other 3.

The below rad comes in 2 sections due to the weight. 70kg each section.

I hired their kit to join the sections.

4 x rads, £6.5k my cost to purchase….

Currently first fixing for 25 of those. 15 being re-finished and 10 new ones. Biggest being 800x 1500 at 150kg. Let me know how they go as not had to do any cast iron rads yet. Mine are also set to be delivered in 2 parts for the big ones but didn't realise I would need fancy tools to assemble them (strategically left off their website)

I've heard horror stories of people bending the breaker bar when trying to disassemble old ones. Luckily I won't need to do that

Gonna need the tools. The joint is made with a half reversed thread nipple and graphite washers.

The nipple has to go in the correct way round/it to its designed half. Mine came labeled.

Tbh was a lot quicker/easier than I expected. I air pressure tested them once assembled, no leaks.

You shouldn’t need it, but good luck!
