The living room contained a baseboard radiator that never worked. It should never have been connected to the house’s steam-heat system that consisted of cast-iron radiators throughout the rest of the house.
Living Room radiator
I had the old baseboard radiator removed and found a cast iron radiator that matched the rest of the house. I cleaned and painted the cast iron radiator before having it installed. I installed baseboard moulding to match the rest of the room and repainted the wall.
The result- more space for furniture, a radiator that matches those in the rest of the house and working heat.
