Product Information

Anything you put over a radiator will prevent some heat from getting into a room, according to Jeff Beiriger, executive director for Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Wisconsin Association in Germantown, Wisconsin. So it’s important that if you do use a radiator cover, leave plenty of ventilation openings on the top, bottom and sides. Types of Radiator Covers Engineered wood: MDF (medium density fiberboard) is good for a painted radiator cover. This material is sturdy like hardwoods but cheaper. We spray our covers to ensure a very smooth and long lasting finish which we would recommend as we believe it gives you the best quality finish. First, measure the length of your radiator. Don't just measure the panel – measure to the outside edge of any pipes and valves, and then add two cms on each side for clearance. Heat loss: As long as your radiator cabinet is the right size and positioned correctly, the heat loss experienced should be less than 10%. However, this is still 10% you might not want to lose with energy bills rising.

Here at Radiator Cabinets, we like to keep on-trend with the latest in-home décor. Therefore, we are currently focusing our attention on our mirrored Henley Radiator Cover. This style has been and will continue to be big throughout 2020. They cost money: Although there are so many cheap radiator covers out there, they still cost money. And as they’re not an essential item in the home, some may find the cost of them to be unnecessary and a major disadvantage. It’s time for something different. Take a look at some fantastic alternatives to the traditional radiator cover. Our handmade diamond brass grilles are finished with a lacquer to help to preserve the finish and look of the solid brass. Without affecting the classic colouring of the brass, the lacquer is added to protect the grille from tarnishing with everyday use and cleaning. Where can I use Polished Brass Grilles?

Meriden radiator cover

Wood: Hardwoods work well, especially if you want the cover to blend with natural wood trim in a room. They’ll transfer less heat than metal and they’re more expensive.

Our made-to-measure cabinets are hand-crafted to the highest standard in our UK workshop, combining quality and precision to ensure your new bespoke cabinets look fantastic and fit perfectly in your home. The traditional Regency style features a timeless grille design that can be customised with our range of grille options and skirting board detail that only runs across the front of the cabinet to avoid clashing with the skirting board style on your walls. It also features broader styles than other designs, making it a preferred choice to conceal larger radiators. If you're painting the cabinet, it's easier to do this before fixing it properly to the wall. Use a small paintbrush to make sure you get into every nook and cranny of the cut-out fretwork and edges. FAQs What is the most efficient radiator cover? While a cover with plenty of ventilation is a good fix, never cover a radiator completely, as the heat will need to escape to ensure your room stays cosy, plus trapped heat can become dangerous and cause damage to your home. If you’re purchasing a ready-made cover, follow the manufacturer’s measuring instructions. Otherwise, use these guidelines to determine a minimum finished size: There is no doubt that mirrored furniture looks sensational in any room, in any home.
