BISQUE RADIATORS

on the planet. We have been representing bisque radiators for about a year now with a good amount of success. They are a UK based manufacturer with heavy Italian design influence. When your customer asked for something "cool" or "different" these are the radiators. Please find an attatchment to their website. Feel free to e-mail me if you want more information.

    Nice

    But I fear that the description 'the coolest radiators from the UK' is liable to be misunderstood, people may assume they're made by Lucas Industries ;-)

    No offense, Mike, but if that's what's passing for modern interior design it's no surprise that I'm a BIG fan of the late Victorian architectural style.

    Wild stuff!

    The Raffaella (named after a teenage ninja turtle?) could also double as a cheese cutter :)

    Is the trough type convector heavy duty enough to be used at the bottom of a sloped snowmelted driveway for drainage?

    Seriously, unique stuff.

    No offense

    taken. That is what makes the world go around. Do you sell what you like or what your customer wants? Just a question...

    "Do you sell what you like or what your customer wants?"

    I don't sell anything at all -- I'm not in the heating/cooling business.

    I've just always been fascinated with technology and design (coming from a long line of engineers, but getting none of their mathematical abilities, will do that), and am particularly fascinated with the technology of home systems -- heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, etc.

    I, too, am partial to the good ol' Victorian radiators of yester

    year, but I can appreciate eccentric beauties like those...very cool. Hey! I give my customer what they want, as long as it's not crap. I really do love the Burnham Classic, but I am doing everything I can to boycott everything French....even stopped drinkin' my favorite bourbon, Wild Turkey! I put 2 in my house last year before all this America-hating by the Frenchies started. I'm not taking them out (kinda like that Statue of Liberty Lady too!), but I am making my customers aware of where they are made,France. Sold a nice job last year, replacing 14 large steam rads with the Classics - a nice $15,000.00 job, that we were going to do this fall. As a businessman, I had to honor their request. Personally, I don't wanna give the French a dime. The job was awhile off, but i really agonized over this. These are excellent customers and i didn't want to dissappoint them. Finally, I just called 'em and gave it to 'em straight: "...Hi, Mrs Smith, before I order these radiators, I just wanted to let you know that they ARE made in France...If that bothers you? I will do what ever you want, but some people are boycotting the French....I don't want them to come, and you are surprised." A slight pause, and she responded: "We HATE THE FRENCH!!!!!! I'm so glad you told me....my husband would have flipped out!!!! His great grandparents were French, but we're Americans first!" Although, we lost a nice job, I felt relieved. Until, The French apologize and start treating us with the respect we deserve, I'm not pushing The Classic... Mad Dog

    Failure to communicate Mad Dog

    When you asked if they could do steam I assumed you were talking about Bisque radiators not burnham/governell "classic" style. Sorry for the confusion.

    Sorry, missed your question.

    Unfortunately no, at the moment I rely on a heat pump for my home heating needs.

    Next house, hopefully...

    no

    These babies come from the land of H20 (Europe). Bisque does not concern themselves with steam...no offense.
    MD do you only work with Steam?
