Why Buy Cast Iron Radiators in Russia?

Buying Радиаторы чугунные is a great way to add some character to your home. They come in many shapes and sizes and can be found in a variety of designs, from vintage period style to more practical models that fit specific spaces.

In addition to providing heat, Cast iron radiators can also help reduce carbon emissions in your home. They use up less energy than most other types of heating and can even be a good way to heat with renewable fuels.

The history of supplying central heat in homes dates back to Ancient Rome when the hypocaust system was developed. The system involved using a furnace to heat air and then sending that air through open spaces in the floor where it warmed up the rooms above.

However, these systems were not very efficient and, as such, were used very rarely until the 19th century. This was because steam was a much more effective way of warming up rooms, as it worked at a much lower pressure than water.

Although the development of hot water radiators can be credited to two American’s Joseph Nason and Robert Briggs in 1863, the first modern design of what we know today as a steam radiator was invented by a Russian businessman Franz San Galli. Several other early inventors added their own designs to the basic concept, but the most popular was the ‘Bundy Loop’ created by Nelson H Bundy in 1872.

As the first inventor, he was able to patent his design and the idea spread around the world. It was not until the industrial revolution that they started being made in mass quantities and became affordable for the average homeowner.

This meant that many homes began to use these types of radiators more often and, as such, they came to represent the norm in most European countries, including Russia. They are still popular in Russia, but the number of new buildings with this type of heating is dwindling as a result of the increasing popularity of wood-burning stoves.

Nevertheless, when the cold weather hits in Russia, people are eager to have their radiators turned on as soon as possible. This is particularly true for those in chilly regions such as Kamchatka, where they pay 7,000 rubles (around $100) a month to have their flats heated by the state.

The reason for this is simple – they are the cheapest form of heating available to Russians. This is because the water temperature in radiators is regulated centrally at boiler plants and you can’t turn it up or down independently.

It is therefore essential to choose a heating system that uses the most efficient amount of energy possible. If the system is not sized correctly, you can end up with high heating bills and waste valuable energy that could be better spent on other things.

This is why many people in the UK and other Western countries are opting for a more sustainable approach to their home’s heating. By installing a biomass boiler and TRVs on their radiators, they are helping to make their property eco-friendly and significantly reduce their carbon footprint.
