Radiator Cover Measuring Instructions

1 Radiator Cover Measuring Instructions MEASUREMENTS UNDERSTANDING DIMENSIONS: All of our measurements are in inches. The measurements you provide us with are the interior of the radiator cover. Beyond the interior dimensions you provide, the radiator cover's top has an overhang of 1" on all four sides (front, back, left and right) and the wood we use is 3/4" thick. When confirming your order, the website will provide you with three sets of measurements: Interior Dimensions (as you entered them) Overall Dimensions (length, height and depth of the cover at its widest points) Footprint (this will be how much floor space the radiator cover will require) In some situations, you can request to not have an overhang, or to shorten an overhang to make a radiator cover fit in a tight space.

2 LENGTH: Measure the overall length of your radiator including any valves and pipes. Round this number up to the nearest inch, then add 2 inches. In the example in Figure 1, the radiator is 48.25" long, so we will round up to 49" and add 2 inches, giving a length of 51". TIP: Radiator covers look best when they are centered under a window. Sometimes it's a good idea to order the cover a little longer than your radiator to center it below the window. HEIGHT: Measure from the floor up to the highest point of your radiator including any valves and pipes. Round this number up to the nearest inch, then add 1 inch. In the example in Figure 2, the radiator is 36.75" in height, so we will round up to 37" and add 1 inch, giving a height of 38". This will be the interior height of your radiator cover.

3 DEPTH: Measure from the front of your baseboard to the front of the radiator, including any valves and pipes, round up and add one inch. In the example in Figure 3, the radiator is 9.5" deep, so we will round up to 10" and add 1 inch, giving a depth of 11".

4 OPTIONS and UPGRADES Options will let you tailor the look of your radiator covers to match your personal style and the look of your existing furniture and the architectural character of your home. Certain options may increase the price of your cover. Our online quoting tool will provide a price breakdown of each radiator cover. TOP DETAIL Multipanel Top: The Multipanel top has panel openings in the top of the cover with the same Panel Detail and Screen Pattern as selected for the rest of the radiator cover. The Multipanel top is an especially important choice for a radiator cover that will be under a window and sandwiched behind a couch or other furniture.

5 Crown Molding: Crown Molding is an inexpensive way to add a touch of class to the top of the radiator cover. Hutch: New for 2010!! We now offer a hutch shelving option for our radiator covers! If you have a radiator that is on a wall, now you can use that space for valuable shelving, storage and display. The hutch is a great way to take advantage of what would normally be a difficult space to use. Our unique design allows you to space the shelves anywhere you like, and radiator covers longer than 24" have split shelves to give you unlimited flexibility. Measuring for a hutch couldn't be easier. All you need to know is the overall height you would like. Just measure from the floor to where you would like the top of the hutch to be (must be a minimum height of 10 ). Never order a hutch that is the exact height of your ceiling because it will be nearly impossible to get it in place. Allow at least 5 inches of clearance to the ceiling. Covers ordered with crown molding will also have crown molding installed at the top of the hutch. Hutches will only fit radiators with a minimum depth of 7.

6 PANEL DETAIL Our panel detail options dress up the panel openings of the cover. Applied Panel Molding: The traditional style Applied Panel Moldings are our most popular Panel Detail because they add so much elegance to the radiator cover. The Applied Panel Molding is a solid wood molding that our craftsmen custom fit to the radiator covers. Recessed Panel Profile: New for fall 2009! The Recessed Panel Profile is a contemporary style Panel Detail. Our design team worked hard this year to introduce a profile that is a great upgrade for clients who want a simple and contemporary molding profile for their radiator covers.

7 BASE DETAIL Rounded Feet: Our unique rounded feet option adds a classic look to the radiator cover. This is our most popular Base Detail option because the Rounded Feet dress up the silhouette of the radiator cover and show it as a piece of furniture. Beading Base: Our Beading Detail is an inexpensive touch of elegance to the radiator cover.

8 SCREEN PATTERN Windsor: The Windsor Pattern Screen is the most traditional screen we offer constructed of high quality USA origin steel. Grecian: The Grecian Pattern Screen is the more contemporary and modern screen we offer constructed of high quality USA origin steel. Mission: The mission grill is a shaker style traditional grill pattern constructed of wood.

9 PAINT COLOR We paint our radiator covers with high quality industrial coatings that result in a baby skin smooth and silky finish that you would expect to find on a high quality piece of furniture. The finish is extremely durable and difficult to scratch or stain under normal household use. All of the finishes have a satin sheen. White (Benjamin Moore CC-10): Our white option is a clean white. Cloud White (Benjamin Moore CC-40): An interior designer favorite, Cloud White has a shade of yellowy ivory to add a touch of warmth to the color. Space Black (Benjamin Moore ): New for fall 2009! So many of our interior designer and interior decorator clientele were requesting Black for their radiator covers we're now introducing it as an option on our website! This is the perfect color for a dark and modern look recommended with our Grecian Screen. Primer Only: Our primer option allows you to paint the cover in any color you choose at home. The radiator cover will be primed by us in our high quality primer. We then sand the primer to ensure the best possible finish for you. As soon as you get the cover, you can put your paint brush right to it! Our primer is compatible with latex or oil based paints. HEAT REFLECTORS New for fall 2009!
