- Primer Finish
Primer Finish
A primer finish is a protective layer that cast iron radiators are coated with at the time of manufacture. Different manufacturers use different colour primers but black, white and grey are the most popular choices. The primer layer not only protects the radiators from oxidisation but provide a good surface to subsequent paints to bond to. While not common place, some people do leave radiators in their primer finishes once installed. For additional assistance with a primer finish, please call our sales team on 02394 216 216 for more information.

What is a Gloss Finish?

What is a joining key and will I need one?
Joining keys are required if the overall radiator length would overhang a standard pallet. In this case the radiator will be built into smaller, more manageable segments that will fit on a pallet.
The joining key can be used to join these smaller segments into the overall radiator. All required parts for joining will be supplied, such as caps, bushes and gaskets. We advise that joining radiators, where required, is carried out by a qualified installer.
We supply a refundable joining key for our radiators. When ordering a radiator, we will offer you the option of a joining key if it is required. We will ensure you do not order more joining keys than are required.
