How to measure for your radiator cabinet
Width
Measure from the outside of one valve knob to outside of the other and add 5 inches. This will give you the maximum external width of your cabinet.
Example valve to valve = 30 inches, now add 5 inches, cabinet width required = 35 inches.
Height
Measure from the floor to the top of the radiator and add 3 inches.
This will give you the maximum external height of your cabinet.
Example floor to top of radiator = 30 inches, now add 3 inches, cabinet height required = 33 inches.
Depth
Measure from the wall behind the radiator to the furthest protruding point in front and add 2.5 inches.
This will give you the maximum depth of the top shelf of your cabinet.
Example from the wall behind radiator to the furthest point = 3 inches, now add 2.5 inches, cabinet depth required = 5.5 inches.
Number of panels
Smaller cabinets will feature single air vents to both the top and bottom of the cabinet and single grille panel, twin air vents to the top panel and triple feet.
From 72 inches ( 1825 mm ) to 84 inches ( 2135 mm ) wide 2 grille panels will be fitted, for cabinets over this size, 3 grille panels is an option. Ultimately the choice is yours, however if you are in any doubt please do not hesitate to contact us for advice.
Advice on the above
These are recommended minimum tolerances that you should be add to your radiator, however you may wish to have a deeper top shelf for placing ornaments, we find that we manufacture more cabinets with a top shelf depth of 6.5 - 7 inches for this reason. You may wish to take into account items such as unsightly phone and plug sockets which may be covered up by ordering a wider cabinet.
Please remember that each cabinet is constructed to your specification and if you are in any doubt about your measurements please telephone us as we cannot be held responsible for errors in your measuring.
