Radiator covers can be manufactured in wood, steel, or even fiberglass. All have some merit, however polymer covers have a number of very special benefits:
- Polymer covers never rust or rot
- Polymer covers are very easy to clean
- Polymer covers never need decorating
- Polymer covers provide a 'cushion' effect if fallen against
- Polymer covers are very strong and resist damage
- Polymer covers are superb in wet areas such as toilets or bathrooms
- Unlike steel, polymer radiator covers do not dent or bend after impact
Radiator covers are used to ensure that the maximum surface temperature that a resident, patient, or visitor can be exposed to is 43 degrees centigrade. This temperature is determined by the NHS directive DN4.
The NHS Estates Health Guidance Notes, "Safe hot water and surface temperatures” - ISBN 0113221584 (formally known as DN4) was issued following a number of serious accidents, some of which proved fatal, arising from the high surface temperatures of radiators.
Low cost, high quality radiator covers that will not rust or rot, never need redecorating, and look good too! Simple to fit, each cover comes complete with polymer batten and we even do the access holes and skirting cut outs for you!
