Troubleshooting

Ensure the skirting board cut-out is correctly aligned with your wall's skirting. Check that no obstructions are preventing it from sitting flat.
Assembly is difficult or parts are missing.
Refer to the included clear assembly instructions. If parts are missing, contact customer support with the part number indicated in the manual.

This radiator cover arrives flat-packed and requires assembly. All necessary wall brackets, screws, and fittings are included, along with clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process. Ensure you have a screwdriver available for assembly.
