A simple radiator can make a big difference in updating the look and feel of a room. An exposed radiator can be an eyesore. Suppose that you've just updated your furniture, painted the room, added some window treatments, but you still have a clunky old radiator that just does not go with the rest of the room. A radiator cover is a simple solution to instantly brighten your room and also provide a shelf space. What's more is that it eliminates the chance of a family member or a pet getting burned from contact with exposed radiators.
Even more, did you know that installing radiator covers can also conserve heat? A bare radiator heats everything around it. Radiator covers efficiently directs heat through the grill, into the rest of the room, away from windows and walls. This enhances the radiator's heating ability and minimizes heat loss. When a radiator is exposed, heat rises and travels up the back wall. The warm air collects towards the ceiling while cold air stays along the floor. When a radiator is covered, the heat gets pushed out the front. The warm area is also directed to the floor area, which allows the radiator to warm up the room faster.
