Cast iron radiators

Throughout history, there have been various methods to heat our homes. The traditional fireplace had multiple functions and was used not only for heating but also for cooking and as a source of light. These were often placed in the center of the home, becoming the focal point of the household.

In the mid-19th century, boilers began to be used, and this was when radiators were invented. These radiators were made of cast iron, often with beautiful decorations, and were heated with steam. Initially, they were imported from the USA, but around 1900, they also began to be produced in Sweden.

We at Sekelskifte are proud to now present our range of cast iron radiators and beautiful radiator accessories in a period-appropriate style! The cast iron radiators are made up of connected sections and are available in several different heights, allowing you to adjust both width and height according to your needs. Like the very first models, these are designed to stand on the floor, and the outer sections are equipped with feet.

If you have any questions or are interested in placing an order, feel free to contact us at info@sekelskifte.se or visit us at our store at Karlavägen 7 in Stockholm!
