ABOUT RADIATOR COVERS

Radiator covers may be made of wood or steel. They have two purposes: decorative and practical. The decorative purpose is to improve the appearance of the room by hiding the hot water radiators. As a side benefit they can provide a useful shelf above the radiator. The practical purpose is to protect people, particularly children, from injury by touching very hot radiators.

Radiator covers usually have front-mounted grills to encourage the circulation of the hot air within the room. They are available in a wide range of sizes from 15 inches to 96 inches wide, and from 22 inches to 40 inches high. Custom sizes are also available.
