Additional Tips for “How to measure when ordering custom radiator covers“
1) When the radiator is under a window, in a living room or dinning room. Try to measure it so that the width looks centered. In bedroom this is not as important but really up to the home owner.
2) If you have in-wall radiators, provide actual measurements of the opening of the in-wall radiator since some times the cut out for the radiator is larger than the in-wall radiator. For the depth measure from the part that sticks out the most to the wall.
3) Example: If the radiator is by entryway and it is low say 20 inches high, then you can make it a useful area by making it Hight. You will be able to leave keys, main etc. at a convenient height.
4) Send us pictures of your radiator, this always helps us to understand the work area
