Bespoke radiator cover


Khind

Recommended Posts

I would like to put a radiator cover in our hallway but after measuring up it seems our radiator is very high 95cm. Annoyingly I can only seem to find ones up to about 93cm! Has anyone had one made? And how much did it cost? Really don't want to spend a fortune but struggling to find anything ready made that would work.

Hello,


If you really want to keep costs down, even if you are not handy, these are very easy to make. Just google for a video. If you don?t have the gear, that?s fine. Just measure up and ask whitten timber or similar to cut the wood to the correct sizes for you then just drill together.


Alternatively, buy the one you want and add a bit or skirting or similar to the bottom to raise it up?


Good luck

Radiator covers reduce the heat output from the radiator by quite a considerable amount. If you have a rad with fins on the back you will need to rout a thin slot in the top to allow the hot air to come through. I have made a lot of covers for a interior designers in the past. I am now retired but Whitten Timber make them to the customers measurements.

    • As a cafe, yes. And they kept all the chandeliers they hadn't sold as an antique shop still hanging up. They had a real mouse problem, quite well covered up, however. 
    • Ah yes, that's right. Didn't Chandelier sell a huge range of different kinds of tea?  That militaria shop was bonkers.
    • Spinach took over from Chandelier, which was then a cafe but had been an antique shop of the same name. Some shops up from Target Arms the militaria shop. 
    • My friend and I once did a cocktail crawl down Lordship Lane.  I think we started at Black Cherry (now Franco Manca). It got off to a good start when I knocked mine over and had to buy another one. Liquorish was in there somewhere. The crawl ended with me carrying a chair and her a set of glasses, both bought from an antique shop at some point on the crawl, can't remember where and long gone. Was it where Spinach is now? Somewhere round there. The antique shop, not Spinach!
