At UKAA we have in stock a variety of reclaimed antique cast iron Church floor grilles and Cathedral floor grilles, we have both original reclaimed grilles and new cast iron floor grilles available.
Also referred to as heating grates these floor grilles are very versatile and have many uses, they originally would have been used to cover heating pipes and are fitted in to the floor of a Church or a Cathedral to allow the hot air to circulate.
We have just received this fantastic image from one of our happy customer's, they have purchased some antique cast iron floor grilles from us earlier on in the year.
They have used the heating grilles inlaid into the steps as an air brick, as you can see they look fantastic.
Pictured below are the antique cast iron Cathedral floor grilles.

Our most popular radiator valves for cast iron radiators are the thermostatic valves. A thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is a self regulating valve that is fitted to the radiator to control the temperature of the room by changing the flow of the hot water that enters the radiator.
The image below is of Danielle with selection of our thermostatic radiator valves for cast iron radiators.
Manual radiator valves have no thermostatic control, the temperature of the radiator is controlled by the central heating system and will be off or on only.
Pictured below are a variety of our manual radiator valves for traditional and new cast iron radiators.
