cast iron radiator
Comments (2)If the walls of the home have been insulated and the windows updated, you may well be able to do this as your heat loss from the room has been dramatically lessened. If, however, the walls are uninsulated and the windows old, you may not be very happy at all with the results....See MoreAnyone know who to contact to sell cast iron radiators?
Comments (11)Ok I can do that tomrrow night, my DH is coming home from a business trip tonight. Maybe you can tell me what style the house is.
