A New Radiator Cover for 2014!

A new look for my covers in 2014.  This cover has been finished in a HPL (high pressure laminate).  Simply put, a hard wearing surface that is available in hundreds of colours.

For more information contact me and ask about my laminate range.

White floor standing radiator cover

Very busy today, making crates for covers ready to ship.  However, I could not pass on the opportunity to take a couple of photos of  these floor standing radiator covers.

Painted Covers

A few pictures of radiator covers that have been ordered with a spray paint finish.

White is the most popular radiator cover colour.

This silver one looks fantastic! (click the pics for a larger image.)

Professional spraying does add to the cost, but will result in a great finish.

Jacked!

A sneaky preview!

Launching at Grand Designs Live Excel 2012, 5-13 May

A special edition radiator cover.

Designed and Made in Britain.

Grand Designs Live 2011 saw the launch of the 'Ready to Paint' version of Jason's award winning radiator cover. At this years Grand Designs Live exhibition the 'Jacked!' cover will be launched. 

Bright, bold and visually stunning. Don't just hide your ugly radiators, turn them into art! 

'Ready to Paint' Covers

I recently realised that I did not have a picture of my 'Ready to Paint' radiator cover in it's natural unpainted state.  So here we go!  As you can see it looks exactly the same as the timber covers except it's made from MDF. MDF is the perfect substrate for painting, flat and smooth and takes paint very well (don't forget the priming coat first!).

If you don't fancy painting the cover yourself then I do offer a spraying service. I use a local spray shop and the end result is truly excellent. Look out for posts in the coming weeks featuring painted covers. 

Customer's Radiator Covers

One of the most satisfying aspects of my work is the feedback from customers.  This is especially true for my radiator cover design, I always look forward to receiving photos of  installed work.  Here are a few recently sent to me.

This is a 'read to paint' version of my design and the customer has done a great job with the paint work. This cover was also unusual in that it is floor standing. My covers are usually wall hung and are mounted above the skirting board. The problem taking the cover to the floor is the skirting board issue. The end panels will require a cut out to accommodate the skirting if the cover is to sit flush to the wall. In this case the customer sent me an accurate template of the skirting which enabled me to produce a tightly scribed cut out.

All my radiator covers are made to measure, which means I will design and make the thinnest streamlined cover for a radiator. There is no need to compromise on one size fits all and eat into your valuable living space.
