I need to move a radiator - from one wall to another, and will need to exchange a large radiator that takes up on wall and get a small radiator to fit under window. I hear that there is a guy that sels refurbished salvaged radiators (my house is 1906). Any recommendations? ... for the old radiators and / or to perform work? Thx |

If you take Burnett Ave to Morris, make a left, and immediately on the right is a salvage yard, (I forgot the name). He has alot of radiators. I just built a family room and needed two (my house is 1910)the ornamental ones are $200.00 regardless of size, plain ones are $100.00.
He guarantees them not to leak, if they do, take it back.
You will have to steel brush and paint them
Good Luck |

There is a small bathroom radiator on my second floor ready to be ditched. It's a one pipe steam system. You can have it if you are fast, and the contractor agrees. Late 20's and needs paint. |

I need to strip and paint some of the radiators in my house. How should I strip the old paint? Do I use a latex or oil base paint? Gloss, flat, semi-gloss? Can i paint now or wait until the spring when the heat is not in use.
Thanks in advance. |

If you are interested, I know a guy that will sandblast the Radiators then paint the with power coat paint.
This paint is applied via an electrostatic charge the baked at 400 degrees. The paint product is bonded to the metal, is of high quality and makes the Rad look like new.
You have to remove and place the Radiator outside for pickup and then replace and install them. He will pick up from the yard, do the paint work and deliver to the yard.
Here is a shot of one finished.
