All,

I've recently purchased an old victorian house which will need renovation. We're looking into central heating solutions and are currently deciding on what type of radiators to purchase and install.

What do people think of (Reclaimed) cast iron radiators as opposed to modern radiator panels (Stelrad Classic Column)?

Classic Column Radiator | Designer Collection | Stelrad

Pros and cons of each would be great.
