Electric Heating Elements - Customer Query.

I wonder whether you could tell me a little more about how the
electric elements work in cast iron rads. There seems to be some
forums which suggest they just blow up the radiator as there is no
room for expansion. Have you got any experience of this?

Becky From UKAA says:

We have sold a lot of the heating elements and have had no problems at all as we suggest filling your radiator to 98% leaving 2% for expansion when in use.

The elements are 240v and they can be used as a standalone electrically heated radiator, or they can be fitted as a backup into a standard water based system i.e. if you have a room in the property that you would like to heat But you do not want to heat the whole house with your water based system, you can use your heating element instead. Or if you have a property without a water based system but want the Victorian style radiators instead of storage heaters these would work fine as free standing radiators.

New Table Design - The Industrial Look

We are now making in house our own reclaimed pine tables with Plank Tops

The tables can be waxed, painted, painted and distressed or we can leave them as clean timber for you to finish.

We are able to make any size for you

The table was made by our in house team and finished by hand

The table measures 8ft long x 3ft wide x 31 ¼" tall

The Knee hole is 26" tall

The table top has been finished with 3 coats of antique pine wax.

The base has been painted and then distressed in Farrow and Ball Lamproom Gray

If you want a perfect table then this is not for you, the boards are reclaimed, they are marked, with old nail holes, saw marks etc, some of the boards have cracks and splits in them and they are not perfectly flat and square, but what they do give you is that authentic industrial look.

We have also fitted a couple of galvanised plaques to the sides of the table.

We have many styles of Church Chair that will fit alongside your table
