Did you know that radiators have been used in one form or another since the 1850's as a solution for home heating? The term radiator applies to any heating device in which fluid circulates through exposed pipes. Radiator safety has improved immensely over recent years, as traditional cast iron models used to be considered one of the most dangerous heating solutions. There are various types of radiators used today: hot water radiators, hot water baseboard style radiators, steam radiators, fan-assisted radiators, radiant floor heating, and electric baseboard radiators.
