DuraTherm Radiator Covers

Measure the visible width of your radiator from end to end and compare it to the cover widths included in our range, typical sizes are 780mm, 1120mm, 1520mm and 1720mm, with adjustable models covering roughly 1390–2120mm. If your radiator sits within one of those widths, choose the nearest size; for odd or long radiators the adjustable covers are designed to bridge the gap. a small bedroom radiator around 750mm wide works well with the 780mm small cover, while a long living-room radiator of about 1.6m suits the 1520mm or 1720mm options.

Covers with slatted or patterned fronts let heat pass into the room while tidying pipework, so any loss of warmth is normally minimal for these designs. Vertical or horizontal slats and cross or diamond patterns all provide airflow; slatted styles often encourage convective flow quicker than a solid front. If you rely on maximum output for a very cold room, choose a slatted design in the correct size rather than a fully enclosed unit.

Pick a style that matches your room’s look and your practical needs: vertical slats give a contemporary, taller feel, horizontal slats can make a room seem wider, and cross or diamond patterns add a decorative, traditional touch. All styles on offer come in white or dark grey and in the same MDF construction, so your choice is largely aesthetic; for a modern kitchen go for horizontal or vertical slats, and for a cosy lounge the cross or diamond pattern works well.

These covers are made from MDF, which gives a smooth painted finish in white or dark grey and suits most indoor rooms. MDF performs best in dry to moderately humid spaces; if you have a very steamy bathroom or an area prone to water contact, keep the cover away from direct splash zones or use good ventilation. a bathroom with an extractor fan and the cover mounted clear of the shower splash should be fine, while a unit placed directly beside a sink might need extra protection.

Yes, the covers create a physical barrier between children and hot radiators or pipes, reducing the risk of burns while also improving the room’s appearance. The page specifically notes they’re ideal if you have small children by adding that extra barrier, and the slatted or patterned fronts still allow heat to circulate. For a nursery or playroom, a small 780mm cover in white or dark grey provides both protection and a neat finish.
