FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the unit?
The external dimensions are 82-84cm in height, 139-204cm in width, and 21.5cm in depth.
Does this cover come pre-assembled?
No, it arrives flat-packed and requires assembly.
Can I fit this over a radiator that is 82cm high?
The internal height of the cover is 80.5cm, so it will not accommodate a radiator that is 82cm high.
Is the cover heat resistant?
The cover is designed to withstand standard radiator temperatures, but it should not be in direct contact with the radiator itself.
Is wall mounting necessary?
Yes, for safety and stability, it is strongly recommended that you use the included fittings to attach the unit to the wall.
Troubleshooting
The cover feels wobbly after assembly.
Ensure all cam-locks are tightened correctly and verify that the unit is securely fixed to the wall using the included fittings.
The radiator seems to be heating up less efficiently.
Check that the slat design is not being blocked by curtains or furniture, and ensure there is sufficient clearance between the radiator and the internal walls of the cover.
Difficulty sliding the adjustable sections.
Ensure the panels are aligned correctly on the tracks and that the floor is level; loosen the locking screws slightly to allow for smoother movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The unit arrives flat-packed. You will need a screwdriver and a drill for the wall mountings. Ensure you measure your radiator width and height before starting to ensure it falls within the 132-195.5cm (internal width) and 80.5cm (internal height) limits.
Compatibility: Double-check that your radiator valves do not protrude further than the 17cm internal depth of the cover.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch the grey finish. Keep the cover dry and avoid placing extremely heavy items on the top shelf to prevent structural bowing.
