Pretty sure that you already know that Birmingham has quite an impressive history when it comes to manufacturing? Referred to as the first manufacturing town in the World, if you were kicking about in 1791, Birmingham was a major player in the Industrial Revolution. We have a predilection for the city. Not only because our Lead Engineer Designer, and founder of Eskimo, Phil Ward hails from there. Since 2001, we have been manufacturing our beautiful designer radiators from there and...

Who loves London's Battersea Power Station? We do. The Art Deco architecture fills us with joy whenever we pass by its Herculean, yet glamorous, presence. It's clear that Eskimo's Product Design Engineers, were hugely inspired by the Power Station's form, as soon as you are introduced to the feet, designed for our floor mounted Column radiators. Eskimo already design beautiful, simplistic, clean lined legs for our floor mounted RON radiator range, Leggy RON. But this time, we felt that Column’s form required...

Yes. Yes we are electric, but why choose our electric radiators and towel rails over other available options? We spent over 2 years in research and development of our Outline “dry electric” modular heating element. Coupling a high efficiency, natural convection aluminium heat exchanger to a powerful electric resistance heating element, the design has been honed to provide the maximum heat output within the space envelope available without resorting to noisy and impossible to clean fans or the very high...

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? Bathrooms are unique environments with some very specific heat requirements. Usually damp and humid, we are often undressed in there, the bathroom must be the optimum temperature. Design and functionality should work in perfect harmony too, and one of the primary functions within a bathroom is to hang, warm and dry towels. Eskimo believe that it IS necessary to have towel rails in a bathroom. Not only because we want to sell you some, but because there...

The art of sublimation is an enchanting performance that requires a potent combination of surface finish and product understanding, skill and creativity. In order to avoid 'naff' outcomes. The selected sublimation surface finishes of Eskimo's RON and Leggy RON column radiators, are a result of this beautiful art and offers you three stunning, unique options, created by one of our 'Eskimo expert' teams. In the search for the best, we found Dom Such from One LBJ, who is pretty damn amazing at what he...

Why are we called eskimo?

May 14, 2018

So why are we called eskimo? It’s a slightly convoluted tale of family, music, second chances, and the brilliance of a name. The turn of the 21st century was a great time for music. It was also a great time for radiators. Back then the founder of eskimo, Phil Ward, was involved in both, simultaneously DJ'ing, running a record label and running the family engineering business whilst the concept of making radiators that also looked good was just a twinkle in his youthful...

Radiators. When you first think of them you probably visualise large, heavy ornate, traditional columns on sturdy feet. Then you start picturing those unsightly 80s versions but let's not go there. The Victorians, and later, the Edwardians, had a preference for decorative elegance with intricate scrolled details adorning heavy iron cast column radiators. They were quite something. Sadly, not so long ago, they were often discarded with distain and relegated to the skips and scrap yards, considered archaic in style....

Interior space is so precious when designing what sits within it. Eskimo design and make radiators as pieces of interior product design. So radiators no longer have to be ugly, they can blend, they can pop, be quiet or loud - but always, beautiful. However even if you have a very large scheme to play with, you may still struggle to find an aesthetically pleasing arrangement with regards to your wall space and where to hang your radiators. Often, vastly...

You've received your radiator and now comes the installation part. In this case we are talking wet system radiators. Whether you're the handy sort and installing yourself. Or you've booked in a plumber, the crucial part of ensuring that your radiators work perfectly, is bleeding and balancing. What comes first? Bleeding? Or balancing?
