Radiator Length

Radiator Length

The LENGTH measurement is the maximum distance over the widest part of the radiator.
In most cases the radiator valves are the widest part so the measurement would be taken as the overall distance from VALVE TO VALVE.


Radiator Height

Radiator Height

The HEIGHT measurement is taken from the floor to the top of your radiator.


Radiator Depth

Radiator Depth

 

The DEPTH measurement is from the wall to the front face of your radiator - or the widest point forwards if the valves come further out than the radiator.


Skirting Height

If you require skirting cut-outs in the sides of your cabinet please enter the maximum Height of your skirting here.

We do not charge for cut-outs

The cut-out made is designed for skirting boards only (i.e. with a curved corner) and therefore the height you enter will be the max height of the cut out with a 9mm radius into the corner. The cutter cannot cut square cut edges into the skirting cut out. Therefore if your skirting board is square cut or you require the skirting cut out to cover e.g. square cut boxing in then you will need to add either 9mm onto the height dimension or 5mm onto height and 4mm onto depth dimension (or vice versa) to allow for this and please note that the resultant cut out will not sit tight onto any right angle corner due to the radius in the corner of the cut out.

Valve Access Height


FIRST ENSURE YOU HAVE ENTERED THE SIDE FOR THE VALVE CUT OUT ABOVE

Enter in this box the measurement from the floor to the centre of the Thermostatic valve.

We will cut a 150mm high x 90mm wide access hole in the side panel and supply a cover flap for the hole.  

The side for the cut-out is taken as viewed standing in front of the radiator facing it.

The minimum depth of radiator for this service is 100mm, if you enter a depth of less than 100mm, we will increase the depth to 100mm.

Cabinet size

When you measure for your radiator cover, you only need measure the following;

Length; measure the overall distance from outside valve to valve (this is probably wider than your actual radiator itself). Classic design Removable Front Covers only: Please note that if you wish to purchase a Classic removable front cover in order to provide valve access then, provided you have the external space available, you will need to add a further 75mm to the length of your radiator when ordering for each side of the radiator you wish to gain access to (i.e. 150mm if you wish to gain access to both sides). This will then ensure that you can reach the sides of the radiators through the internal sub-frame.

Height; this is from floor to the top of your actual radiator.

Depth; is measured from the wall to the front surface of your actual radiator - or the most forward measurement if your valves or other obstruction come out further than the radiator. Please note that you must ensure that the radiator depth entered when ordering is a minimum of 100mm if you wish to request a valve cut out otherwise the order will be cut automatically for a radiator depth of 100mm.

For made to measure covers, we then add the following EXTRA dimensions to allow for construction, fitting and airflow etc;


This section is for information only
Do not add these measurements to your radiator size when ordering

The overall assembled external size of your made to measure cabinet can be determined by adding the following dimensions to the Length, Height & Depth measurements that you provide us with during the ordering process:

The overall assembled external length of the made to measure cabinet will be 56mm longer than the measurement you enter when ordering. This allows 10mm each end for air flow and 18mm each end for the thickness of the side panels. The top shelf will overhang the radiator cover by an additional 20mm at each end.

The overall assembled external height of the made to measure radiator cover will be 68mm taller than the measurement you enter. This allows 50mm for airflow above the radiator and 18mm for the thickness of the top shelf.

The overall assembled external depth of your made to measure radiator cover will be 52mm deeper than the measurement you enter (to the front of the side panels). This is made up of 10mm for airflow, 18mm for MDF thickness, 4mm for grille thickness and 20mm for the construction of the cabinet (as the front panel is recessed into the side panels). The top shelf will be a total of 62mm deeper than the measurement entered in this box (as there is a 10mm front shelf overhang). In the case of our classic design removable front covers, the necessary sub-frame adds a further 20mm to the overall depth of the cover.

If the above additons mean that the cabinet will not fit in the space you have available then please read our FAQ section for details on how to get around this or ensure that you email us before ordering.


Returns Policy

The terms below offer extra rights in addition to your statutory rights which remain unaffected

 

If you have any questions, we are here to help.  Please contact us.

 

What to do if you change your mind

For ready made radiator covers, the Cancellation Period ends on the expiry of the period of 14 days beginning with the day after the day on which the Product is delivered or as soon as you start to assemble /fit mesh to the Product, whichever is the earlier.

 

For made to measure Products once manufacture has commenced the Cancellation Period ends and you are required to complete the contract. We will advise on updated order progress and manufacturing upon request.

 

Please remember that any Products you wish to return must be in their original packaging, unused and not assembled so please ensure that you are happy with the Products before commencing assembly. You are responsible for ensuring that the Products are suitably re-packed prior to return.

 

You must ensure that the Products are appropriately insured whilst in transit and that you obtain the return address from us in advance, returns need to be made by carrier (or other such appropriate service) only to the warehouse address - RETURNS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED AT OUR REGISTERED OFFICE AS THIS IS ON A DIFFERENT SITE & IS INDEED JUST OUR REGISTERED OFFICE ADDRESS & NOT THE TRADING ADDRESS. You must also ensure that you include a copy of your original invoice or other identification in order to allow us to track the origins of the return. It will not be possible to process refunds without evidence of the sender. Returns in person are not possible as our commercial factory/warehouse have no public access.

 

Due to the high cost of carriage forwarding to ourselves (£25 per item) plus charges for each failed collection and the lack of any insurance in transit for carriage return items, we are unable to arrange the collection of Products on behalf of customers. 
 

Products that are refused on delivery will also be subject to the £25 carriage forwarding charge. If however Products are refused due to damage or because incorrect Products have been delivered then we will bear the cost of the carriage return. If, however, the delivery is refused and returned to us for any other reason then it will be assumed that you have consented to pay the carriage forwarding charge and this will be deducted from any refund due. Refunds will be made to the card used when ordering.

 

If, on inspection, the Products are found not to be faulty or damaged then the refund will be subject to the carriage forwarding charge detailed above and this will be deducted from the refund.

 

This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. We strictly comply with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

 

We cannot accept items for a refund or exchange if they have been damaged after delivery or if the item has been custom made for you, such as made-to-measure radiator covers. It is essential that any damage on delivery is reported to us PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY. We will be unable to accept claims for damage or returns for units that have already been assembled/had mesh fitted unless the unit proves to be faulty.

 

What to do if Products received are damaged/faulty

You must inspect the Products as soon after delivery as is practicable and notify us as soon as possible of any shortages, defects in or damages to the Products or of any other complaint in respect of them within 7 days from the date the Products are delivered.

We reserve the right to offer replacement parts and/or repairs as appropriate and may arrange the collection of Products for inspection or if required by the carrier in the event of the goods being signed for as damaged and a claim being made against the carriers insurance. Where replacement parts are sent, we will not usually require the return of the faulty/damaged part(s).
