A
brief History of Radiators In the 19th Century interest in hygiene, personal comfort and the decline in disease, were met with the development of central heating, water, piped gas and a network of underground cast iron sewers. These systems all improved with the coming of the industrial revolution. Mass production of cast iron radiators made central heating affordable to many. Some radiators were elaborate and included special warming chambers for plates and linen. Ornamental grills provided decorative cover for functional heaters in public places. By the turn of the 20th Century it was common to have all these
modern amenities as an integral part of the building. |
