What To Know About Fitted Wooden Radiator Covers

JA Horne Starlight Ltd • 1 February 2024

If you are fed up with unsightly radiators ruining your style, there is a solution. Fitted wooden radiator covers can be used to elevate your home space, with their unique designs and shapes. These features are custom-built to fit your radiators, regardless of the room size or function.


Before choosing these covers, there are a few things you should consider beforehand. Read on for the benefits, types and cleaning requirements that come with these made-to-measure features.


Benefits

When choosing a cover for your radiator, wooden covers are fantastic options. Read on to learn more about their benefits.


Appearance

Radiators, when left uncovered, can look unpleasant. Fitted wooden radiator covers are a great solution, letting you choose the colour and pattern. These covers will not affect the function or heat expulsion, yet they improve the look of any radiator.


Protection

One fantastic benefit of opting for a fitted wooden radiator is that they are protective. Radiators can be dangerous, particularly to small children and pets. To keep your home warm, however, they are still more than necessary. A cover will prevent small hands (and paws) from touching the hot surfaces.


Designs

Fitted wooden radiator covers come in a variety of designs, which means they can slot in with any home and style. Different patterns are available, from crosshatched to slats. As with any custom-built furniture, wooden covers can be tailored to suit your style and needs.


Unique

While radiator covers can be bought from home stores ready-made, these are often a bigger hindrance than help, and won’t always fit into your interior design as seamlessly. When not made to measure, you run the risk of purchasing covers that don’t fit your radiators perfectly. When ordering custom-built furniture you can be confident in knowing they are one of a kind. These features can be designed specifically to suit your individual style, no matter how different or extravagant.


Choosing Between a Topper or Cabinet

There are two main types of fitted wooden radiator covers, known as toppers and cabinets. Toppers act just as a guard for your radiator, whereas cabinets fully cover your radiator while keeping them accessible with bespoke cabinet doors or similar openings. Seek the advice of a fitter before choosing them to help learn which might be best suited to your needs.


Cleaning

When cleaning your fitted wooden radiator covers, the most important rule to follow is obtaining the advice of the manufacturer. Depending on the type of wood the cover is made from, different items will need to be maintained with the right care. Seek the guidance of a professional before attempting any cleaning and stick to non-abrasive cleaning solutions.
