FAQs:

What Radiator Cover size do I need for my radiator/heater?

Any type of Radiator Cover your choose needs to cover the heater and pipes and valves, therefore we recommend to measure take measurements of your Radiator and add a minimum of 5 centimetres either side (10cm in total) to ensure good fit. Please see our Measuring Guide Page for more details as well as indivicutal product pages for anything we specifically recommend. If you are unsure please do just contact us and we will guide you through the process.

I cannot find the size of Radiator Cover I need?

Not a problem, we can prduce the Radiator Cover to any size (almost;) Please just contact us and we will make recommendatons and ceate a quotation if your radiator is shorter or longer than detailed or if you have any queries. 

How long will it take me to actually fit the Radiator Covers?

Our Radiator Covers are designed for a quick, one-person installation, with no specialist tools required. I have personally done it in less than 5 minutes on a Panel Radiator Covers. The only thing you need to do is to decide if you would like the Radiator Cover to be fitted on a permanent basis (follow instructions A) or so it is easily removed and replaced (follow instructions B, recommended). You can access detailed instructions with relevant videos on the Instruction Page. 

With every fully assembled Floating Radiator Cover we supply a handy template and all the necessary fixings so you will only need a 8mm drill to mount it onto the wall, whihc should only take no more than 10.

Our Radiator Cabintets also come fully assmbled, meaning all you need to do is put it in place and enjoy, we do also recomemnd fixing the sides or top to the wall to ensure stability.

Can I use the Panel Radiator Covers on any type of radiator heaters?

Yes, the Panel Radiator Covers are opened on all sides and postioned away from the radiator so you can uses these on any type of heter. You might, however, need some additional fittings. Our standard fittings are designed to hang on a typical panel radiator and we can provide an adapter pack that will let you fit the covers onto a column radiator (one with individual ‘ribs’). 

There are some older radiators with Round or Roll Tops that will not take the standard fittings we supply. We can, however, supply you with some alternative fittings, including angle bracket to attach to the wall and the back of the Radiator Cover (thought you would need to check the distance from the wall to the back of Radiator Cover to ensure the size is correct remembering to allow at least 5 centimetres gap from the front of the radiator).

You can see the alternative fittings on this page. 

 Do radiator covers block or stop heat?

No. Unlike some other products on the market our Panel Radiator Covers , Floating Raditor Covers and Radiator Cabinets are designed to retain as much heat efficiency of your heaters as it is possible for the specific range. Fixed about 5cm away from the radiator the stylish floating Panel Radiators are designed only to ‘cover’ the front of your radiator, meaning that the top and bottom (and sides) of your radiator are completely open, which allows the free flow of air through the radiator retaining the effective distribution of convected heat. 

The unique designs of the front panels feature large cut outs (these differ for different designs), which also means there is little change to the natural radiant heat yet there is a barrier safeguarding children, pets etc. from touching hot surfaces.

Do radiator covers reduce or restrict heat output?

This depends on what type of Radiator Enclosure you select. Our most popular Radiator Covers are designed to retain the heat efficiency of your heaters. The panels are designed only to ‘cover’ the front of your radiator, meaning that the top and bottom (and sides) of your radiator are completely open, which allows the free flow of air through the radiator retaining the effective distribution of convected heat. 

With top and side panels (on most models) Floating Radiator Covers and Radiator Cabinets are more enclosed, but our design features large gaps at the top and bottom of the cabinet meaning, in comparison to other cabinets, there is the least interference with the heat transfer from the radiator to the room, indeed there is a flue effect of cold air being drawn through the radiator and adding the natural convection process. Enclosed on sides the Radiator Cabinets provide an even better barrier safeguarding children, pets etc. from touching hot radiator surfaces or valves so we highly recommend these in children activity areas such as bedrooms, playrooms, nurseries, corridors etc. etc
