Decorative/art Panel radiator

in Radiant Heating

Hi all

I have a legacy home with an art studio. The "inspiration area" is where the easel will be placed and is a bump out of all north facing glass. I have low temp radiant floor heating as first stage. I am looking for a very decorative/art hydronic radiator for the second stage. I remember in the past a company called Jaga but there website does not show the art radiators I remember from the past. Any other manufacturers?

Regards Jeffrey

    Runtal has some neat stuff and they dabble in custom radiators. This "hot spring" on their commercial lineup always intrigued me

    you could also look into making your own custom radiator. I know @hot_rod had the "hot dog" radiator at one point that was pretty awesome

    castrads has some decorative stuff too. there might be fancy stuff that is salvaged that is no longer available new too. what are you looking for?

    Thanks for the Runtal link. I did not realize the commercial options. I am not sure what the owners are looking for just wanted to give them some options. I will have to get them approved by the interior desecrector🤣

    You can heat any mass to make a radiator .. Heat up a sculptor , column or wall .

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    you can fill a concrete or plaster sculpture with pex tubing and make it a radiator. Didn't @hot_rod build a cow radiator this way?

    I don't see the real custom ones at Jaga anymore? Just the knockonwood line.

    Thanks HR. Jaga use to have some very decorative rads, but not anymore.

    I’m headed to the Mostra expo in Milan in a few weeks. That will be the place to see an assortment of unique radiators

    I’ll send pics, maybe I can score something special.

    I started the search for decorative concrete sculptures built locally, something I could put some tube in.

    This caught my eye, a warm concrete hand to sit on
