How do I pick the right size so the cover fits neatly over my radiator?

Measure the radiator width and height first, then match it to the cover widths offered, options run from compact 780mm up to large 2300mm, with many popular sizes such as 1115mm, 1280mm, 1500mm, 1520mm and adjustable models up to 2120mm. Most covers sit about 815mm high, while storage models are taller (around 960mm), so pick a height that won't block valves or skirting. If your radiator falls between sizes, an adjustable DuraTherm cover or choosing the next standard size up gives you the clearance you need. For example, a 1400mm radiator is well matched by a 1500mm or an adjustable 1390–2120mm cover.

Will a radiator cover stop the room from getting warm?

Covers with slatted or patterned fronts, vertical or horizontal slats, cross or diamond patterns, are designed to allow airflow, so they still let heat circulate while hiding the radiator. Solid-front designs can reduce convection more, so opt for slatted or cross-pattern styles if you prioritise warmth. If you place decorative items on top, keep them minimal so they don't block the warm air rising from the top vent.

Which style and finish will suit my kitchen or bathroom décor?

Vertical slats give a clean, contemporary look; horizontal slats read modern and low-profile; cross and diamond patterns suit a more traditional or decorative scheme; arrow and rattan options add character. You can pick from practical finishes — white, dark grey, black, cream and a few walnut trims — so match the cover to your existing units or tiles. For a Scandi bathroom, a white vertical-slat cover at 1120 x 815mm blends seamlessly; for a farmhouse kitchen, a walnut or cream cross-pattern cover will feel warmer.

How do I decide between brands and price points?

DuraTherm offers many adjustable and budget-friendly covers and a wide range of slat and cross-pattern styles, so it's ideal if you want straightforward value. Vale Designs tends to offer higher-end looks and storage-equipped models that are at a mid-range price point, which are ideal for those looking for a design-focused product. The Plumbworld website allows you to filter by price and size, helping you to find a product or brand that fits within your price range.

I need extra storage or a ledge, are there covers with drawers or shelves?

Yes. Several Vale Designs and Linwood models include built-in drawers and storage, and covers with drawers or storage options. Sizes with storage tend to be the larger and taller models such as a Vale Designs large with drawers at 1500mm or Linwood storage models at 1280 x 960mm. If you want usable top space and a drawer, choose one of those storage-specific covers rather than a standard 815mm-high unit.
