Using a miter saw to make the cuts for stiles and rails in this project will give you the best possible results. Take these three measurements and use the equations in the next section to find the cuts you need to make in the wood pieces.īefore you begin cutting, remember as with all woodworking projects, straight, square ends will make all the difference when joining wood parts. On the side, measure along the floor from the baseboard to the farthest point out, which is usually the radiator foot. Be sure to measure from the farthest points on the front, this is usually a valve or water pipes going through the floor. Measure the height from the floor to the top of the radiator and then the total lengths of the front and sides. In some cases, you may even want to add dividers for a more interesting cover design even if they aren't needed to support the screening. If you need more than 2 screens to cover the front of the radiator, you will need a divider for each additional one. To support more than one screen, a 1by lumber divider will be required. A shorter radiator of a couple feet high will usually be longer in comparison, making the 36 inches better suited for the horizontal length of the front panel.įor a radiator longer than 36 inches or so, more than one screen will be required to cover the front. This means for a tall radiator of 3 feet or so, you will want to use the 36 inches for the vertical side. The typical size of perforated aluminum screens is 36-inches X 24-inches. Keep these actual widths in mind when doing the project calculations.īefore deciding on the 1by width you will use, take your radiator dimensions and the size of the available perforated screens into consideration. So a 1x2 is actually 1½ inches wide, not 2 inches. Each of these is ¾ inch thick and about a half inch smaller than their nominal width. Stock 1by lumber suitable for this project includes: 1x2's, 1x3's, 1x4's, and in some cases, 1圆's. With a few simple joinery methods, your radiators can be covered with minimal effort and expense. Faults, shortages or damages must be notified in writing within 24 hours of receipt of the of goods.To build a radiator cover like this, you can use stock 1by pine lumber and perforated aluminum sheets from a home store and cut them to size. * free delivery to Mainland UK only, see the list of excluded areas.Īny SALE, custom-made, bespoke or made to order products can only be returned if a fault has been discovered.
