Modern Radiator Covers

Modern radiator covers are the perfect solution to the problem of ugly panel radiators. These radiator covers fit straight over your standard radiators, securing to the wall, and improving the look of your home with minimal fuss. If that’s not enough, then you’ll be pleased to hear that they also act as a safety barrier to stop young children from getting near any hot pipework.

Our modern radiator covers come in a range of sizes, starting with the smallest being 780mm wide, and the largest being our adjustable covers which go from 1410mm to a maximum of 2050mm.

You’ll also be able to choose from a selection of styles such as cross pattern, rattan, or horizontal and vertical lines, in either white, grey, anthracite, black or wood.

Some even include an ingenious integrated drawer or two to provide you with some additional storage alongside the shelf on top.

How do I pick the right width and height so the cover fits my radiator and looks balanced in the room?

Covers start at 780mm wide and there are many fixed widths up to about 1720mm, while several adjustable models extend the fit up to roughly 2120mm, so match your radiator width to the nearest cover size or use an adjustable model for odd widths. Heights are commonly 815mm for standard covers, with taller storage styles around 960mm, so choose a taller cover if you want room for drawers or a larger top shelf. For example, a 1500mm radiator pairs neatly with a 1500mm cover, while an unusual 1400mm radiator would suit an adjustable cover that spans that width. Aim for a cover that centres visually under windows or beside furniture so it feels balanced.

Will a radiator cover stop my room from heating properly?

These covers are designed to sit over standard panel radiators and many feature slatted or cross pattern fronts to let warm air circulate, so they should not dramatically reduce warmth. You may notice a small change in direct convection compared with an exposed radiator, but vertical or horizontal slats help warm air rise into the room effectively. If maximum output matters, pick a slatted style rather than a solid-front design. For most living rooms or bedrooms the difference is minimal and you gain safety and a neat shelf.

Which style and finish will suit a modern kitchen versus a traditional living room?

For a modern kitchen, crisp white or dark grey covers with clean horizontal or vertical slats give a streamlined look and complement contemporary cabinets. In a traditional living room, walnut or cream finishes and cross or diamond patterns add warmth and character; a rattan or arrow motif can introduce a touch of texture. You can also use a cover with an integrated shelf or drawers in a hallway to add practical storage while matching your room style.

Do any covers include storage and what are the practical sizes for drawers?

Yes, several models include one or two integrated drawers and taller heights around 960mm accommodate larger storage units, while standard 815mm covers more commonly have just a shallow shelf. Examples include Vale Designs’ medium and large storage options at 1115mm and 1500mm widths, and Linwood designs offered in 1280 x 960mm for more substantial storage. If you want useful storage for gloves, keys or small items, choose a storage model with the 960mm height to get deeper drawers.

When should I buy an adjustable radiator cover instead of a fixed size?

Buy an adjustable cover when your radiator has a non-standard width or you want flexibility for future changes, since adjustable models span a wide range of widths (several go up to about 2120mm). They are ideal if you measure a width between fixed options or if you are replacing an old cover and are unsure of the exact size you’ll need. Fixed sizes give the cleanest, tailored look if your radiator matches one of the standard widths like 780mm, 1120mm or 1520mm.
