Our Radiator Cabinets are supplied fully assembled CABINETS with top and two sides, the front panel is removable allowing access to temperature valves; there is no assemble needed but we recommend to fix the back of the cabinet to the wall to prevent if from falling forward.

For your perfect Raidato Cabinet measure WIDTH (valve to valve) and add a minimum of 10cm; measure FULL HEIGHT from the floor to the top of the radiator, if it is 75cm or les our standard 88cm high Radiator Cabinets is suitable, do contact us if you are unsure of need a different height.

DEPTH: Please measure from the wall to the front of the radiator; our Standard Radiator Cabinets are 22cm deep, which means these are suitable for radiators up to 17cm deep measuring from the wall to the front of the radiator.

SKIRTING BOARD CUT OUT: as standard our Radiator Cabinets are supplied without any cut-outs or with a 3x17cm cut-out radiused at the top. Please make a note in the Shopping Cart section of your order to confirm that you would like the 3x17cm cut-out or if you would like a different size cut out for your specific skirting board.

NOTE: You might need to adjust the sizes that you need if your Radiator is positioned in a tight corner, next to a door / passage or under the windowsill or dado rail. It is easy to adjust the vertical and horizontal position of Radiator Covers but you might need a special size of Radiator Cabinets.
