bespoke radiator covers in Alva (5)

Absolutely. Carpenters, joiners and made to measure radiator cover fitters can take some measurements and assess your requirements and install a custom-made radiator cover that meets your needs.

A custom-made cover will typically offer the best results, as it will match better with your home’s style, offer greater heat distribution and fit perfectly.

The radiator cover should be about 1 to 2 inches taller than the radiator, 1 to 2 inches wider and with roughly an inch more depth.

There should also be a gap between the cover and the floor of at least 2 to 3 inches. The cover also needs grating and vents to allow proper air circulation.

Taking accurate measurements ensures your radiator cover fits properly. Here are some steps you can follow as a guide:

1. Measure the width. Add 1 to 2 inches to your measurement for airflow

2. Measure the height. Add 1 to 2 inches to your measurement for airflow

3. Measure the depth. Add at least 1 inch to this measurement

4. Check for protrusions. Check for any pipes or wall mouldings that might affect the cover’s fit

5. Measure for clearance. Ensure the clearance is at least 2 to 3 inches

It’s best to allow a professional to take the measurements for you, as this will prevent issues down the line.
