Radiator Covers with Storage

Measure the visible width of your radiator and the height from floor to top of the radiator, then choose a cover width and height that match or are slightly larger. The covers come in widths such as 780, 1080, 1115, 1165, 1280, 1415 and 1500 mm and heights of 815 mm or 960 mm, so if your radiator is about 1,000 mm wide a 1,115 mm or 1,165 mm cover will give a neat fit. Leaving a little extra width helps if you have angled valves or want the cover to sit comfortably around the radiator.

No, the covers feature thoughtful slatted fronts that ensure optimal heat distribution, so your radiator can still warm the room efficiently while hidden. Slatted designs, whether horizontal or vertical, promote airflow and prevent the large loss of convection that a solid panel might cause. If you need maximum output for a large room, choose the larger cover height (960 mm) to allow more air movement around the radiator.

Match the finish to the room mood: cream for a softer, traditional look, white for crisp neutrality, black for striking contrast, and rattan when you want natural texture. Horizontal and vertical slats both provide good heat flow, so pick the slat orientation that complements your space, horizontal for a contemporary, low-profile look and vertical for a taller, more classic feel; the Sloane white vertical slat at 1415 x 815 mm works well in a high-ceilinged room.

The range includes covers with built-in drawers, shelves and cabinets plus a useful top surface for display, ideal for books, magazines, keys or small decorative items. Sizes indicate storage capacity: small models (780 mm) usually have a single drawer for essentials, medium (around 1,115 mm) and large (1,500 mm) models offer multiple drawers or larger internal shelving. In a living room the large cover can hold paperbacks and remotes, while a small cover in the hallway keeps keys and post neatly out of sight.

Yes, these covers are specifically useful where every inch of storage counts, converting an underused radiator area into a practical shelf and drawer space. The small 780 mm options are ideal for narrow hallways, giving you a top surface for a lamp or bowl for keys without encroaching on floor space. Choose the lower 815 mm height if you want a less dominant piece that still provides storage and display room.
