FAQs
What material is the radiator cover made from?
The radiator cover is made from high-quality MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).
Does this radiator cover affect heating efficiency?
The slatted design is intended to allow heat to circulate efficiently into the room. However, like any cover, it may slightly reduce direct heat output compared to an uncovered radiator. Ensure proper clearance behind the cover.
What are the internal dimensions of the cover?
The inner dimensions are approximately 166.8cm (Length) x 16.8cm (Width) x 80.3cm (Height).
Is this radiator cover safe for use around children and pets?
Yes, the slatted design helps prevent direct contact with hot surfaces, making it safer for use in homes with children and pets. It also includes an anti-toppling system for wall mounting.
Can I paint this radiator cover?
While the cover comes in a white finish, painting it is not officially recommended by the manufacturer and could affect the warranty or material integrity if not done correctly.
How do I clean the radiator cover?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Does it come pre-assembled?
No, this radiator cover requires assembly. Instructions are provided.
Troubleshooting
Cover seems wobbly after assembly
Ensure all screws and fixings are fully tightened. Check that all panels are correctly aligned before final tightening.
Heat output feels significantly reduced
Verify that the radiator is not pressed directly against the back of the cover and that there is adequate space for air to circulate. Ensure the slatted design is not obstructed.
Parts are missing or damaged
Contact the manufacturer or retailer with your order details to request replacement parts.
Difficulty aligning panels during assembly
Review the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure you are using the correct panels and hardware for each step. Sometimes a second person can help stabilize parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is required for this radiator cover. Follow the provided instructions carefully to construct and install the unit. Ensure all screws are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the MDF.
Compatibility:
This cover is designed for standard-sized radiators. Measure your existing radiator (width, height, and depth) and compare it to the *inner dimensions* (166.8L x 16.8W x 80.3H cm) provided to ensure a proper fit. It is recommended that the radiator dimensions are slightly smaller than the inner dimensions to allow for adequate clearance and heat circulation.
Care:
Clean the radiator cover with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent moisture absorption into the MDF material.
