Cast iron heating radiators Retro - individual style of your interior

Many people have heard about the fashionable “industrial” direction in design. This interior is original and not without its own charm.

Characteristic features of the loft style:

• Uncovered ceiling beams and bare brick walls. Even the plaster is missing!
• The room has a minimum of furniture and a lot of free space.
• Communications are not hidden in any way. Pipes, hoods, radiators and other life support systems are on public display.

Features of retro radiators

On the heating equipment market you can find retro radiators made in various shapes and models. The color palette of such heaters is also large. According to production technology, batteries can be solid or sectional.

Sectional radiators are very popular because... the ability to select the number of sections allows you to purchase a device based on the heat loss of the room. In addition, at any time you can add a section or, on the contrary, remove it.

Solid-piece batteries are much less common, even though they are more reliable. Radiators are made without seams, so the risk that the device may leak is minimal.

Choice

When choosing cast iron retro radiators, special attention should be paid to the technical characteristics, and not just the appearance and price:

• Power. This parameter is the primary one when choosing cast iron batteries. In a standard room, 120 W is required per 1 m². If your house or apartment is well insulated and double-glazed windows are installed, then the figure can be reduced by 10-15%. If the room has two external walls, then, on the contrary, you should purchase a device with a power reserve of 15-20%.
• Operating pressure. In imported radiators, the pressure is usually lower than the norm required for heating domestic apartment buildings.
• Guarantee period. He must be at least 50 years old.

Don't rush to do the calculations yourself. It is best to entrust them to professionals. And then you will be confident in the accuracy of the calculations.

Among the manufacturers we can note Demir Dokum (Turkey), Guratec (Germany), Retro Style (Russia).

Therefore, you can safely fantasize with interior design and select suitable retro cast iron radiators.

Pages of history

This interesting trend appeared in America, almost by accident. In the middle of the last century, land rent for real estate sharply increased in price in large US cities, and industrialists were forced to urgently move production facilities outside the city limits. Empty factory buildings were sold at bargain prices.

At first, such real estate was purchased by low-income people; later, musicians, artists and other representatives of bohemia drew attention to the unique and inimitable loft. Spacious production buildings with high ceilings were ideal for workshops; concerts, exhibitions, and other cultural events could be held here.

After some time, industrial-style apartments began to be in great demand in the world, their prices increased several times. New housing began to be built initially with this design. That is, enterprising businessmen were able to benefit from the current situation.

Today this is one of the most popular trends in interior design. As a rule, industrial design is chosen by creative individuals. This direction has no clear boundaries, various creative ideas are welcomed, but the main rules of interior design should be followed.

Advice : it is advisable to resort to the services of professional designers, because not everyone will be able to create such an environment in their home on their own.
