Radiator covers and cabinets are one of the most popular uses for decorative grilles. When used for this purpose the panels of mesh themselves are often referred to as radiator grilles or radiator cover meshes. Metal radiator covers and cabinets are the most efficient type of cover as metal as a material is the most efficient conductor of heat. That is why the radiators themselves are made from metal. 2. Are wood or metal radiator covers better? Metal grilles or screens allow air circulation. They're cheaper than wood but also can be dented. And be aware that if your radiator is typically too hot to touch, a metal cover also may get hot. 4. What material is best for radiator covers?

There’s a wide range of design options to choose from to help you find the ideal solution for your décor and tastes. If you’re looking for a discreet option that will blend in beautifully with your existing décor, a white radiator cover will provide. Perhaps you’re after a piece that makes more of a statement? Then we’d recommend a grey radiator cover, available online in a whole host of shades, to give a modern, sleek finish to any room. Because wood is a good insulator, wood radiator enclosures will not transmit heat to the degree that metal covers will. So, if your house is so cold that it needs to take advantage of every BTU that your radiators can offer, you may not want to choose wood covers. 3. Do metal radiator covers get hot? If you would like a radiator cover grille that is very open in style then choose a large hole and a narrow wire. If you would prefer a radiator mesh that obscures the view through the radiator cover mesh then choose a wider wire with a smaller hole. Radiator covers are a fantastic solution to help disguise old, worn out or unsightly radiators and instead provide an attractive focal point for the room. And they don’t just look good. In addition to being a stunning design feature, they also provide a practical surface on which to display and store your treasured items.Our regency grilles are exact replicas of original grilles that were designed and used in the regency period. We use the same materials, patterns, assembly methods and manufacturing techniques. STRUCTURE OF REGENCY BRASS RADIATOR SCREENS Woven radiator grilles are manufactured with either a diamond or square pattern. An additional feature that can be added to the manufacturing process of the diamond woven radiator mesh style is to have the woven grille squashed laterally. This achieves a narrower and more elongated shape of diamond. It should be noted that this style will relax into its natural state during transport so the panels that are delivered may appear to be too wide and not tall enough for the apertures for which they are intended and for which the sizes were provided. It is necessary therefore to squeeze the panels laterally during fitting until they again achieve their natural shape and size. It is also possible to provide laterally wider diamonds but having them squeezed longitudinally but this is rare. ROUND WIRE WOVEN RADIATOR PANELS As well as in domestic cabinets and radiator covers, and library cupboards doors, round wire grilles were a popular choice for early automobile manufacturers. When the round wire is given an extra crimp between the joints it makes the overall panel more rigid and this made it particularly suitable for making stone guards for headlamps and car radiator screens as they allowed sufficient light and air through them whilst protecting that which was behind them from being chipped by stones thrown up from the road by other vehicles. We still manufacture grilles of this nature and sometimes it is the vintage and veteran car enthusiasts who choose to have similar vehicular style grilles in their houses. RADIATOR MESH OR RADIATOR GRILLE? Brass radiator screens can be created by weaving brass wires together to form a lattice. To create different styles of woven grille, different metals can be used as well as different sized wires, different methods of weaving, different hole sizes and orientation. Radiator covers add style to your living spaces, concealing unsightly radiators to create a beautiful aesthetic. A radiator cover will also provide thermal protection, ideal if you have little ones at home.
