Radiator
Our vintage radiator restoration is quite varied. We can supply and install authentic cartridge (honeycomb) style, film style, V Sell, and modern R type radiator (tube) cores. Specializing in various materials from brass, copper, German silver, and stainless steel, we can repair and replicate all styles of vintage radiators using original techniques and equipment.
All radiators are metal finished and can be supplied with raw, painted, polished or plated surfaces. With our innovative in house capabilities we are often able to install modern high efficiency cores in vintage radiators to help accommodate retro-fitted air conditioning.
